學習不因考試完而結束Learing won't stop because the exam ended.

我今天考完最後一堂試,是關於瑞典的脊椎動物。有好多鳥,好多魚,還有好多聲音,和一些兩爬。
但是大自然這本書永遠都讀不完。大海裡的魚,天空,樹林與原野上的鳥,我怎能全知了?
這門課在學期成果的欄位上表達的是: 能了解瑞典的脊椎動物,並應用在保育上。然對我來說,這其實更像是開啟我認識大自然的另一扇門; 學習結果,是會觀察周遭環境的鳥聲/身。

很多時候進入森林,或只是走在路上,會對身邊的聲音不敏感,但是修完這堂課,我開始會去聽,"那是什麼聲音?","誰在窗戶外嘰嘰喳喳?"生活充滿了樂趣。
就像是森林系的樹木學,幫我開啟另一世界。

我很謝謝這堂課的老師,十多次的出野外,他都把自己做到最好,也用正向的態度回應我這個動物門外漢。

我記得我第一次考試,在野外考,我迷路了,所以遲到。有點緊張,除了因為遲到,也是因為老師說我要帶他走鳥類的生態旅遊,告訴他什麼鳥在說話,什麼鳥飛過去。我不是一個好導遊,在我又緊張考試又快結束時,老師對我說了句話。這句話讓我了解,我可以做得更好。
那天考完,騎車回家,路上忍不住停下來想,我為了什麼修這堂課?

沒有人可以看完世界上所有的書,就像沒有人可以看片全世界的風情。可是我們可以永遠都帶著一顆好奇的心去看世界,我想這堂課教我的就是這個,抬頭看看誰在唱歌。
而我也因這堂課,去了附近美麗的森林,海邊玩,甚至還找到了下午茶的好去處!那變成是一個想要走進自然的渴望,而不是只有考試。
這堂課結束了,我的學習不因此結束,他在教我如何去聽,發現,而我的生命還在走,我希望地球也是,這樣,我的學習就永遠不會結束。

I finished my last exam today. It is about faunistics vertebrates in Sweden. There are a lot of birds, a lot of fishes, a lot of sounds, and some herptiles.
But this book, nature, can never be finished. How can I ever know all the fishes in the sea, and the birds in sky, forest and field?
The learning outcome in the course information said: To recognize vertebrates in Sweden, and to apply the knowledge in the field of conservation. Yet, for me, this course is more like opening a door leading me to nature; learning outcome is to be able to observe bird sounds and existence in the surrounding.
I was not sensitive to sounds around me when I walked into forest, or on the street. But after taking this course, I started to "listen". "What's that sound?", "Who is chattering outside the window?" Life becomes so much fun.
It was like course in dandrology  of forestry department, helping me open up another world's door.

I thanked the teachers in this course a lot. Over ten times of excursions, he did his best, and he always responded me, the very beginner, positively.

I remember my first test. It was in the field, and I got lost. So I was late to the test. Because of being late, and the request from the teacher was I have to be a ecotourist guide, telling him which bird was singing, and which bird flew by, I was nervous. I was not a good guide. When I was nervous, and the test was going to end, the teacher said something to me. This let me understand that I can do it better.
After the exam that day, I biked home. On the way, I couldn't bike but stop to think a question: Why did I take this course?

No one can read all the books in the world, like no one can see all the view in the world. But we can bring a curious mind to look at this world all the time! I think this is something this course taught me about. Look who is singing up of the head?
I went to some beautiful forest and beach areas because of this course. I even found a good place to have coffee. (fika, in Swedish) It turned out to be an eager to go in to nature, which was not something you do because of the test.
This course has finished. But my learning process never stops. It taught me how to listen, how to observe. My life is still going on. I hope earth is too:) By these facts, my learning never stop!

我可以為你加油! I can cheer you up!

我向來都習慣依賴人,或者是完全讓人依賴
也向來都將人分成這兩種類型
但其實每個人
都需要你有閃亮眼睛,放出力量的時候

乍回顧這篇一直沒完成的文章(或者只能說是一個段落),已過了一個月了。當初會有這樣的心得,是因為我的好朋友,老是幫助我,給我動力的,最近突然眼光淡了,我於是看到她會哭,也承受莫名的巨大壓力。
我還以為,她總是精神飽滿,神采飛揚,然後也簡單的認為,在她身上,我可以得到許多能量。
事實上,反過來想,這怎麼有可能?如果我會累,會哭,她的生活,也會有累,也會有不順利的時刻吧!若我們的交集永遠都在我從她身上得到力量的互動裡,這是很奇怪的。

那天看到她困在報告裡,告訴我她沒事,她只是累,累在這報告,和缺少睡眠。又想起,那次吃早餐,人生該去哪,該怎麼生活,她也還在嘗試,而這樣的嘗試,背後其實有壓力。我,才懂,她也有需要被打氣的時後。
我們是可以互相加油的,我也有力量關心別人。

大海中,我們互相加油

I used to depend on others. Or I used to let the others depend on me.
Thus, I used to categroise people in these types.
However, everyone
all has time that needs you to give power from your sprinkling eyes.

I read this article (or I should say the paragraph) again, just by a click to my blog. It has been one month since I wrote it. I had this reflection because  my good friend, who always helped me, and gave me motivation, had her spirit in eyes gloomy. So I saw she cry. I saw she bear huge, and ambiguous pressure too.
I see her as always being energetic, and having sunny-smile face, and simply regarded  her as the one I can always get energy from.
To be honest, thinking from a different perspective, how can that be true? If I will feel tired and will cry, it should be understandable that she will feel tired and want to cry sometimes in life. If our connections are only built up by me taking energy from her, it would be strange.

I saw her stuck in her paper, telling me she was just tired of this paper, lacking sleep, tired but was fine. And it recalled me, during the breakfast we had last time, she said she was also trying to find out where to go, and how to lead her life. This kind of experiencing has pressure behind. So I understand, she needs to be cheered up from time to time as well.
We can cheer each other. I have the energy to give too!

In the ocean, we help each other.
