  今天是星期三，美國人說是hump day。意思是說，一週中的日子到了今天，就像是爬到了駱駝背上的峰的最高點一樣，接下來的日子就輕鬆了。

    因為已經連續兩天吃了麥當勞，覺得很貴也覺得很膩，於是昨天和Connine到了SAM'S CLUB(像是家樂福的地方)買了一些Muffin、Beagle、Sliced Ham當午餐。今天帶了三種口味的Muffin。分給日本同學世生子一個，中午就簡單的吃過。

    下午的Listening & Speaking課程，和早上的R/W/G(Reading/Writing/Grammar)比起來，是較令我緊張的。因為授課的老師Josh會讓我們有很多的機會說很多的話，這令我有一點神經緊繃。目前的我還是習慣出口前先在腦海中檢查一下Grammar，這令我說話變得有些結巴。And Josh said that if you want to speak fluently ,  you should have some quetions always in your brain.

    After school many students go bowling.在臺灣，我們早就不打保齡球了，加上想去校園中照些照片，就沒跟去。不過我們下週二要去看期待已久的棒球賽，可以看到Suzuki Ichro，Ya~~

    今天的天氣應該超過攝氏40度，走在路上，像是要變成人乾似的。很奇怪沒有任何一個女生撐傘。更令我們不習慣的是天氣很熱但很乾，回到家都會有嚴重脫皮的現象，再多的防曬油和乳液似乎都沒用。但即使天氣如此熱，我還是喝熱茶，吃泡麵喝熱湯，我想這是唯一我不能適應改變的地方。

 今天是開學的第一天，早餐吃的是烤培果配上一大碗公的水果盅，一早吃這麼冷的一堆水果真不習慣。早餐後就要出發去上學了，home-ma Connie真的是一個大好人，為了怕我們不懂得坐公車要在哪下車，還陪我們坐到學校後，再請他老公來接她，然後下午又陪我們坐回去...真是超級大好人！

    到了學校，第一件事就是看分班。歐哥超耍寶，上週五的分班考卷竟忘了交。幸好不影響分班。我分到Advenced A，聽說只要4個月就可以進這邊的大學，不過一點用也沒有，因為我3個月就要回家了...

    中午和日本同學世生子一起吃麥當勞，比起臺灣，簡直是"搶錢哦~"歐哥吃一包中薯和一杯中可，要價3.44大美元，折合臺灣錢就是約110~120元。是誰說美國麥當勞便宜的，那麼他一定是沒來過臺灣。

    一天的課下來，在玩樂中度過，卻也是愈來愈習慣pure English了。班上有一個泰國人Order，他的爸爸是法國人，媽媽是台灣人，一個弟弟目前在加拿大，一個妹妹在日本，然後未來有一個妹妹會去中國大陸，真是國際化的家庭。另外有一位韓國同學Kin Gee，因為在日本唸過2年大學，故會說日文，真是羡慕死我，因為如果可以選擇，我寧可到日本遊學。不過當學生的感覺果如想像中快樂。下午2：30準時下課，學校還會辦一些活動，像下週二我們就打算去看棒球。今天下課回家後。因為時間還早和嘴饞，就煮了一碗排骨雞麵加蛋和歐哥一起分享。

    而今天的晚餐吃麵。看起來像是把一些菜煮得爛爛的，如青花菜(屑屑)、玉米筍、馬羚薯(切片)、肉末等拌著像泡麵一樣的麵條，用微波爐料理而成。真是怪異，不過味道倒是沒那麼可怕。餐後還有甜點，微波西米露，唉~如果有一天微波爐壞掉，我想Connie應該會不知所措而無法準備食物吧！

Today is Sunday. After breakfast, Tom drove me to the church by his Jaguar, a very cool car. In the church, we sang and prayed just like in Taiwan. But there was different while eating cookies and drank wine. We ate cookies and drank wine instead bread and water in Taiwan.

       I also saw many people in the church. They were all very kind and nice. A married couple talked to me for a while, and they are from England. I tried hard to realize what they said but still missed something. I hoped after a few days that the situation would be improved by studying English hard.

       We had bread、cheese、ham and apple juice for lunch and I am used to have simple food like them. During lunch, Luke said that he might catch a cold, and then I tried to ask some question about how would Americans do when they caught a cold. They just stay at home and drink lots of water、

juice. Luke also said that more and more people would see a doctor so that they would recover soon, but in Hudson’s. They just took lots of rest if the situation is not so serious.

       After lunch, Senshaw and I took a long walk to the nearest coffee shop, star bucks. It took about 15 minutes. We found some small supermarket and bought something included eggs, slipper, canned mushroom soup, snacks, and sauce.

2005年的8月，nana和senshaw來到了美國，開始為期3個月的遊學之旅。年紀有點大，錢不太多，但是收到大家的祝福是滿的，心情是超級愉悅的，對未來3個月的日子，是充滿期待的。
