The cold air mixed with a refreshing scent, upon my arrival in Canada, was what I first noticed. It's good to be home once again. My feelings were complicated: sorrowful yet so hopeful, depressed yet so calmed, and troubled yet so open-minded. What a great place to live!
在我抵達加拿大時，迎接我的是涼爽又清新的空氣。很高興能再次回家。伴隨著複雜的心情：沮喪卻又充滿希望，低落卻又顯得平靜，不安卻又思維廣闊。真是個好地方啊!
It has been a crazy semester in Taiwan and it will continue to be . . . While walking on Robson Street in Vancouver, I asked myself did I make the right decision, which I choose to study in Taiwan. What if I stayed in Canada, instead of going for more school after my Interpretation & Translation Program, I chose to work in Vancouver? Would I be making money? Would I be dating a foreigner? Or would I be still looking for a job? I quickly told myself those questions were irrelevant. They meant nothing to me, because I CHOOSE to walk down the path of becoming a veterinary entrepreneur. I MUST be CRAZY!
在台灣度過了瘋狂的第一學期，感覺接下來只會越來越瘋狂 . . . 走在溫哥華街上時，我問了自己是不是選擇了對的決定：在台灣繼續求學。如果我當初，在完成口譯與筆譯課程後，不是回台灣，而是留在溫哥華工作，會不會不一樣? 我會已經賺到很多錢嗎? 我會和外國人交往嗎? 還是我仍然在當米蟲找工作? 不過我很快的告訴自己這些問題都已經不重要。對我來說沒有任何意義，因為我選擇成為獸醫企業家之路。我一定是瘋了!!!
At school in Taiwan, I acted like a 18y/o high school graduate. Sometimes, I am confused by my own identity. Am I a twenty-seven year old man or am I a teenager? Everyone around me is so young that I no longer need to show my mature side. Pity that I purposely switched to I-am-a-child mode. Perhaps, even if I acted like a grown adult, nobody gives a shit anyway, because it's not what people value at this stage of life. I am disgusted of myself. I wish somebody out there understands what I mean.
So far, many things I did at Chiayi U. didn't meet my own expectation. If I were to give myself a grade on what I did, I give myself a C-, barely passed.
目前，我對我在嘉大的表現並不滿意。如果要給自己打分數，應該只有低空過及格。
This is probably my last time visiting Canada for the upcoming year, since I decided to take a break from school and go to armies in Taiwan. I am so fortunate to be part of Canada and thankful to her for nourishing me. Of course, my parents are always top on my list. Hopefully, the next time I visit Canada will be longer compare to a five day stay. I love Canada.
在接下來的一年半，這可能是我最後一次來加拿大，因為我決定先休學，然後當兵。我很幸運是加拿大的一份子，也感謝她養育我。當然，父母永遠都是第一。希望下次我在來加拿大的時候，不像這次，只能待個五天。我愛加拿大。
