被拒絕
被拒絕，似乎是MBA必修的一堂課。
從申請學校開始，先拿了一堆rejection才有好消息
進了MBA，找intern也是
不管是用甚麼語氣告訴你
你沒被挑進面試就是沒有進
不管語氣多委婉都是一樣
算算現在拿到了幾個j
AMA
J&J
ABARTA
好像還有個一兩家沒消息還是被拒絕
是該咬緊牙的時候了
Sring term 特短
一下子就暑假了
真緊張!!!!!

sth abt my winter trip 2009 cross 2010
就像慢了快二十四小時的行李，半個月後，我回到匹茲堡的家，旁邊攤著散落的這半個月上山下城的細軟。
下面的點滴，有些時當時寫的，有些是現在補的…
這次旅行，很放鬆、很難忘，是種一不用去預想的流浪…
20091227半夜一點，我們蜷曲在青年旅館的客廳沙發，旁邊是Gregory登山大背包、兩個雙肩背包與一大袋衣服，原本就打算這麼入睡。
這天從溫哥華一口氣推進加拿大洛磯山脈，駕著Volvo S40，十個小時八百公哩。最後兩個人都睡眼朦朧，在積雪的山路上應撐著，互打、互相說著些渾話提振精神，唯一個指望就是看著路旁邊目的地公里數不斷減少，數算著還剩幾個小時。
Jasper!! Hi Hostel在半夜一點蔭入眼前，這棟白了頭的房子就是今晚棲身之地。走到櫃檯打算check-in，見鬼了，十一點是最慢入住時間，櫃檯早已空了人。
劇情千迴百轉，Jimmy從車上拿出最後一件行囊時帶來了一張紙: 櫃檯人員留給我們的，Jimmy 在Co. ed Dorm 預約的兩個床位在哪裡與注意事項云云。也感謝這個dorm是開放式的，地下一樓也不用鑰匙就一間大通舖。
兩人高興至極，至少，有床睡了。
20091229~20100101
旅程從十二月二十九號開始下雪，加拿大洛磯山脈本來就白茫茫一片了，彷彿配合著前一天滑雪的痠痛，硬是把我丟進另一個世界。冰冷已不足以形容，而是一種凍、一種舉步維艱、一種想一直窩著不動的衝動…，但是戶外人應有的精神，不管零上二十度還是零下二十度，都要在戶外行走。
1231路易斯湖已不只是結冰而已，結冰的湖面堆雪到了膝蓋深。我們沒有像別人勇猛地ice climbing，我硬是在其下膜拜了很久照了很多照片才肯動。行走在結冰又積雪的湖面上只著登山鞋沒有snowshoes, 也沒有別人Cross country的 skiing裝備，我們硬是穿越這樣的湖面，再走旁邊的林道回來。林道自然也是積雪甚深，除了skiing有些路跡之外，踩進去的皆是雪白新鮮的積雪，頭上還正在下著，只怕這寒冬的洛磯山脈滋味不夠濃烈。到了到了，看到Fairmont Lake Louise總算是鬆了一口氣。就像烈日爬山時總希冀著山下的剉冰，寒冬hiking希望的就是看到Fairmont Lake Louise的城堡，然後到裡面悠閒的喝杯咖啡。
20100101
我不知道已經一月一號了，Jimmy從four beded dorm的床上硬是叫我起來，Happy New Year他說。白天的路易斯湖之行加上之前的滑雪殘疾，我累癱了，晚上回到青年旅社煮了頓很棒的牛排配啤酒當做2009年的最後一餐，看了看相片之後我就摸上床了。只記得J泡了巧克力叫我喝，還放了很好聽的音樂，我就這樣睡到了2o10.
巍峨高聳的白與鐵灰環繞四面，下著大雪的世界百分之七十只剩下一片白，亮白、點點星白、灰白與整片深白，長青松樹佈滿了環山，但已不是熟悉的青綠而是深綠，整個世界被冷色調包圍。這是我對加拿大洛磯山脈最後的印象。選在新年的第一天，我們駕著Volvo，珍惜著與它相處的最後時間，就這麼”乘風破雪”地回去。
一路上什麼天氣都經歷了，從高兩千多米的高山下到溫哥華島；從下大雪、出太陽、Freezing rain到下大雨；從零下十幾度到零度-零度時的氣溫讓我們覺得高興，真是一點都不冷啊。
夜晚起大霧的山中開車理應最教人神經緊繃，能見度不到一呎讓坐在車內的兩人屏氣凝神，看著唯一能見的路旁黃色路標牌慢慢龜速前進。此外還有對向來車時給的一記冰沙迎面往擋風玻璃上灑，頓時兩秒鐘全盲，眼前道路只剩點點冰沙渾著泥沙，好在是開在直線的路上，那種瞬間的失控讓兩人驚嚇至極。
吃了什麼當晚餐，忘了，只記著一路上一直想著，到了溫哥華就要吃7-11的buffalo winds… 到了家門很感動，縱使是怪怪房東，也是讓人有了回家的感覺…。
流浪，是為了回家。
我總記得2007年第一次國外自助旅行人在加拿大時，我的感想。
