当我坐在办公桌前的时候,我想,你们大家正穿着毕业服,坐在综合体育馆里听校长的讲话。
公车上,头还在隐隐的痛。昨晚的一幕幕又在脑海中浮现:朱喝得很高,抱着邹晖痛哭;瓜的脸已经通红;晕哥敬酒半天不回来;八男点了手撕鸡??
终究还是散了。当我推着车,和王航走在回清华的路上,我这么想。当7年时光一晃而过,我们即将踏上各自的旅程时,我这么想。
人生是快乐而残酷的。快乐的是,我们有很多值得信赖和依托的朋友;残酷的是,我们终有一天要和朝夕相处的朋友说再见。
命运真的是一种奇妙的东西,我不想为之束缚,但却时时刻刻摆脱不了。7年前的今天,我们彼此都不认识,7年后的今天,我们在一起,为即将到来的分别依依不舍。聚与散,本是人生中最平常不过的事情,但我们却总是不甘,想着做与命运抗争的勇士,但却面对它无奈的摇头。其实,命运已经给了我们很好的礼物??回忆。
军训教官总是抓着邹晖和晕哥不放,打靶那天太兴奋结果5颗子弹全部打飞;第一个元旦给邹晖过生日,蛋糕在10秒钟之内被一抢而空,张星成了大厨,包了一堆饺子结果自己没吃几个;第一次寒假下了大雪,我们一起去雪中拍照,可惜照片不知所终;朱在宿舍夜话的时候曾问过一公分是多少厘米,后来被写到了班级日志里;去香山人渣和王晓蕾领错了路,结果大家都怀疑他们头天到底是不是去探过路;邹晖带着我去取咱班足球队服,结果半路下了暴雨,被淋得够呛;黑龙潭一帮人吃着半生不熟的烤肉,朱说自己是个容易动感情的人;篮球赛的时候我投了好几个三不粘,后来总算进球了,对着安南和贱刘飞吻;去十渡火车很晚才到,大家摸着黑去农家,不知道是谁踩了一脚马粪,晚上的烧烤照样不到5成熟,通宵杀人;本科毕业排《英雄》,全班总动员,胡鹏总是找不到ws的感觉,老余一直拿着相机拍花絮,张燕燕扮大妈逗得大家发笑,王航演技高超,把个唐伯虎表现得ws至极??
回忆,真的太多了。
若干年后的某一天,我做梦还会梦到你们,我想,那时我的嘴角会挂着笑??
总是有终点的,就像这篇文章。时光不会倒流,脚下的路还在继续。收起美好的回忆,把它们珍藏在自己心中的某处,我们向过去挥一挥衣袖,转过身,继续为着下一个目标奋斗。我们还会再见的,那个时候,我们再把这些回忆取出来,细细品味,人生的幸福,也就尽在其中了。

Teaching Journal - D15 - D20

Day 18
This morning we had the NC EOC test, which signals the end of academic work for this course. I spent long hours filling the rubrics for each student. The rubric, together with the scores on teacher's final and EOC, will be the final evaluation that the students can take to next level schooling. This is the first time I formally evaluate someone from a teacher's point of view. I was very careful when using my power of judgment.

Day 19
I met with the student individually in the morning to discuss with them their rubrics. After seeing my comments, some were happy and some were sad. I tried to use positive words and give constructive criticism if necessary. With some of the students, it was not easy to be honest and encouraging at the same time.

We went to Ben and Jerry's in the afternoon, and by the time we were back, EOC scores were waiting for us. 11 of 12 students passed with A! Hurray! The only one who got a B is the student with ADHD. I was quite happy about the score, and decided that I would change my rubric evaluation for two of the students from "recommended with additional study" to "recommended" since they both got A.

The students closed the classroom door leaving me and my TA outside. It looked like they were playing some secret games and then we finally found out, they were making T-shirts for us! All over the board and the T-shirts are their signatures and words of wishes. At the moment when I saw the lovely words, I suddenly felt that I would miss them.

P.S.
This journal was never completed?.. as usual :-)
