Day 129: Boston (Learn Something New Every Day)

I wrote my reviews on Star Wars this morning, and because of receiving encouragement and feedback from GVO teachers, I know that there are people who really wait for and read my reviews, even though I'm not writing for The Aquinas during winter vacation, I still want to keep writing English reviews.
今天早上寫了【星際大戰七部曲：原力覺醒】的心得，因為獲得地球村老師的鼓勵與回饋，我知道真的有人等著讀我的心得，所以即使寒假沒有幫學校報紙寫文章，我還是想繼續寫英文心得。

After taking Sports Writing for a semester, now I know how football works, but I've never watched a full game because my roommates don't watch it in our apartment. Finally, I watched a full football game with Po-Shun this afternoon, and of course we rooted for New England Patriots, haha. Best of all, they won.
上完一學期的體育寫作，現在我知道美式足球在幹嘛了，但是我從來都沒看過一場完整的比賽，因為我室友們都沒有在看。終於，今天下午跟舅舅一起看了一場完整的球賽，我們當然是支持新英格蘭愛國者隊XD 最棒的是，他們贏了。

I was going to play Go in the afternoon originally, but I forgot that there's no bus service on Sunday, so I didn't go eventually. At least I got to watch a football game which still let me learn something new every day.
本來下午要去下棋的，但我忘記禮拜天沒有公車，所以最後就沒有去了。至少我看了一場美式足球賽，每天都還是有學新的東西。

We went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner, and I had Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The waitress gave my sandwich to others, and what we didn't understand was why Po-Shun's meal was still the last one to come when mine was already sent to the wrong table. lol
晚上到The Cheesecake Factory餐廳吃晚餐，我點了辣脆雞堡。服務生把我的餐給別人，但最讓我們不懂的是，我的餐都已經送錯桌重做了，舅舅的餐為何還是最慢的...

Day 6:
"I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying." - Jeff Bezos

This is the reason why I'm always willing to take challenges and try something new. This is one of my favorite quotes, but picking it as the sentence today is somehow both optimistic and pathetic. Apparently this is an optimistic sentence, but the reason why I'm doing is that I want to get rid of sadness. Well, finding something else to be sad about is the best way forgetting sadness. (What!?) No, just kidding, but I was mourning for education again today. I've asked to come to the US for 10 years. Although I'm finally here, it's different and a little bit late. If you ask me half a year ago, going to grad school would never be an option. Now I'm really stressed out, just because I mentioned this idea a week ago, I become someone not proactive enough if I'm not trying to do so. What they don't know is I lost my motivation... then if I can't get a job here, why not just go back to stay with my parents, who I love and will love me forever.
這就是為什麼我總是願意接受挑戰與嘗試新事物。這是我最喜歡的名言之一，但選它作為今天的句子某種程度上既樂觀又可悲。顯然它是一句樂觀的句子，但我之所以會開始每天挑句子是為了終結悲傷。恩，找其他可以拿來感到傷心的事情是忘掉傷心事最好的辦法。(啥!?) 只是開玩笑，但是我今天又再為教育哀悼了。我已經炒要來美國吵十年了。即使我現在終於在這了，這也是不一樣的而且有點晚。如果你半年前問我，讀研究所完全不會是選項。現在我真的是壓力很大，只是因為我一個禮拜前提了這個想法，不試著去做我就變成不積極的人。他們不知道的是我失去了我的動機...那如果沒辦法在這裡找到工作，幹嘛不要回去跟爸媽在一起，我愛的也會永遠愛我的人。

本日英文習得：
Wild Card (sports)：在Uno裡面看到這個字，是萬用卡的意思，不過在美式足球或NBA等運動項目裏頭則是「外卡資格球隊」的意思。如：NBA當中分組冠軍之外，戰績最好的非分組冠軍球隊也能進入季後賽，以及美式足球當中分區冠軍之外，戰績最好的兩支非分區冠軍，都稱為 Wild Cards。
