一转眼，感恩节就过去了。今天晚上送姐姐和姐夫去机场的候还真有点难过。一年只能见他们一次，所以总觉得相聚的间过得太快。
今年买了好多好多的东西。。。应该说是他们买了很多东西！没有想到这里居然也可以称是购物天堂！我也给自己买了一个新的无线键盘！刚开始用的候还真的有点不习惯。因为我打字快，所以每次打字的候都会造成很多噪音，现在的这个键盘可好了。当然，我也买了很多衣服。。。嘻嘻！一年一次嘛！还有，我买了新的一套行李 （是给年尾去旅行的候用的！）。
咦，候不早了，我该去睡觉了。明天一早还要准备课文呢。这次的假期虽然不长，但却觉得休息了好一阵子。明天又是新的一天，新的“战场”。好好加油吧！

以前当学生的时候最期待的就是假期。现在身为老师的我依然怀着同样的心情和态度！感恩节和圣诞节可以说是我最喜欢的节日吧！感恩节的时候可以和家人团聚，可以去逛街买东西！圣诞节 （除了它的宗教意义之外）总让我觉得很温馨和快乐，可能是因为可以收送礼物吧！今年的圣诞节，我将和好/老朋友一起在加州庆祝，所以感到格外兴奋！
最近过的日子特别忙，所以我将好好的珍惜这几天假日。最想做/达到的，应该是吃得饱，睡得够吧！通常教学的时候总是没有时间吃有营养的东西和睡觉/休息！刚刚和一个朋友（药物系学生）聊到自己的生活，他说我一定要好好照顾自己的身体！我也知道啊，可是我需要做的事情实在是太多了！如果我答应要做好一件事，我当然会尽心尽力的去做。我觉得这可以说是其中一个最基本做人处事的道理。可惜不是每个人都有这种观念。也许是我太拼，太认真了吧？
好了，忙了一整天，是时候休息了。希望大家都能过个非常愉快的感恩节！

好像很久都没有留言了。。。这两个礼拜过得真快，也许是因为太繁忙的缘故吧！上个礼拜还差点生病了，我说差点，因为刚开始的时候还以为真的又感冒了，所以狂吃药。幸好 Dayquil 还有效，所以没有病的太重！我朋友克莱儿倒没有我那么幸运，她好像又生病了。哎，生活就是这样，生老病死是逃不过的。
教学方面呢，这两个礼拜的情况应该算是好一些了吧！觉得自己终于渐渐的习惯那种早出晚归，没有生活的生活了。其中一个让我愿意继续做下去的原因是那些好学生吧！那天星期一，有一个学生 （叫K) 跑到教室里来和我说，“你是最好的老师！” 我不知道他是不是对每个老师都那么说，但听起来觉得好欣慰！他的成绩虽然不好，但很喜欢帮助人，非常有责任感和同情心！也许因为我有很多坏学生，所以特别珍惜那些听话的学生吧！这让我联想到人生！我们这些“大人”的生活不也是一样吗？如果一辈子一帆风顺，什么问题都没有，我们会去珍惜身边的爱，同情别人，懂得成长吗？ 我想我应该是不会。就是因为经历过很多才知道什么是可贵！
以前很常看到学校里挂着“礼仪廉耻”的海报，从来却没有好好的去思考过它的意思。现在我身为人师，才知道它的重要性！听起来很容易， 做起来却十分的困难。 尤其是这些受西方教育的孩子，很多都以为自己年纪轻轻有个人权就可以为所欲为！有朝一日，当他们踏入社会开始工作的时候，他们就会知道什么样的态度会使他们成功或失败。我唯一能做的，就是尽心的劝导。
好累,好像说的糊里糊涂的.不知道自己还能支持多久…好好努力吧!

When my friend told me that teaching is a lifestyle, not a job, I didn’t think it would take up so much of my life. And I was wrong. I miraculously made it through the first week of teaching despite the lack of curriculum, and having some of the most challenging students in the school (thanks to all the prayers I received). I have never prayed this much in my life–on my way to school, before I sleep, before I start my first class, on my way back.
Surrendering myself to God and letting Him carry my burden is definitely a wonderful feeling. I am extremely busy, but I am not feeling stressed or uneasy, because I prayed, and prayed for peace and calmness for the entire week.
Truth is I do like the subjects I teach, which is probably the only reason I took the job. But what I didn’t realize was 80% of teaching is about classroom management. Most teachers, like me, thought that their main job is to teach, to pass on knowledge about something. But what we really should be doing is to create a learning attitude. When we make a subject more interesting, students change their thinking about the subject and therefore have the desire to learn. Since I don’t have a teaching degree, this mentality is absolutely mind-blowing for me. Just because a person is smart/knows something very well doesn’t make him/her a good teacher. I am sure we’ve all met or seen teachers like that.
Anyway, I am still learning and this is really a good opportunity for me to challenge and test myself. I am going to take it one day at a time and continue to trust that God will lead me through this journey.

It was one of the most powerful and engaging conferences I have ever been to! The speakers were wonderful, especially Nikki Gumbel, whom I was sooooo happy to see in person. He is a tall, skinny, funny, humble, sincere and authentic British man! I love watching the Alpha videos because he seemed to be able to make anything sound so interesting (okay, maybe also because I am fascinated by the accent)! The worship music (Tim Hughes’s band) was amazingly great as well! I just realized that they sing many of the same songs as we do here!
I took the courage to go forward during the altar call because I knew I needed to be prayed for. The lady who prayed for me was very nice and even offered me to watch a movie called, “To serve with love” at her house.
I am feeling so refreshed and exhausted at the same time. This was the perfect way to end the week, after what had happened at school. I know that I am loved, and I feel that I am now better equipped to continue working on Alpha and to start the new journey as a high school teacher.

今天发生了很多不愉快的事情…本来已经很累了,但还是觉得应该说说自己的遭遇.我这两天都在学校和将要离开的老师学习和准备下个礼拜的要教的课. 今天早上,我把我的包抱放在课室里的一间小办公室里.中午的时候我有事需要出去一趟,所以就匆匆忙忙的离开了 （因为要在短时间里赶回来）.在我到达目的地的时候，发现自己的钱包不见了.我当时以为肯定是留在学校里的那间办公室里.结果回到学校的时候还是找不着.我便和那个老师提起这件事,我们东找西找,终于在另外一个角落的桌子上找到了我的钱包.打开一看,发现自己被洗劫了!哎!他们 (或他)乘我和那个老师在忙着帮忙其他学生,不注意的时候居然偷偷的跑到那间办公室里把我的钱和信用卡给偷走了！钱是小事，累的是我需要回家打电话给信用卡公司去取消，然后再赶回学校！所以今天大概开了四个小时的车！
学生不听话，搞叛逆，这我可以理解，可是做到犯法的这种程度我实在是不能容忍！回家的路上，我真的感到额外的伤心和失望！如果是被陌生人打劫也罢了，而我的学生居然敢对我这个老师作出这种事情，怎么不心痛！那个老师之前有告诉我说学校有很多偷窃事件，可是我没有想到会糟糕到这种程度！唯一可幸的是他没有把我的钱包丢掉，只把它放在桌子的一旁，所以里面其他的文件和卡片都还在。
还没有正式开始上课就已经有这种事情发生了。。。老实说我已经觉得好累了。。。我真的不知道自己能支持到多久。。。为我祷告吧！
