assistant)，但這次獨挑大樑的經驗真的讓我見識不少，從一開始上課時會不自主地打冷顫，到最後可以微笑上台；從與學生meeting時沒有架子說話支吾，到最後有一點老師的威嚴；還有出考卷時盼望自己有兩顆腦袋，到改考卷時看到學生似乎學到東西的成就感，當然其他不計可數的"爆笑"過程 (下一次來個NG篇)，每一刻都很珍貴，開課的教授似乎滿意我的表現，她很開心看到一個不一樣的我，而我呢，十分感激她的叮囑，更謝謝這段時間替我打氣的朋友們(B, M, I, C, H...)，老媽這個軍師真是功不可沒喔 *^^*上週末趁改考卷空檔，去聽了學校合唱團的春季期末公演，第一次坐在Heinz chapel的二樓，其中他們演唱Wanting Memories(by Ysaye M.
