當叔叔是建築師和攝影師

我一直很害怕一件事。

有一天我老了，我希望可以成為母親阿嬤和外婆的綜合版，喜歡一直嘗試新鮮的東西，喜歡開自己和世界的玩笑，喜歡遊山玩水。

我想起第一次丟失重要物品的那天，那種心痛與扼苦是現在的自己（該揍得很）感受不到的。
只覺得對不起。

什麼東西都可以備份，傳也傳不完的曖昧訊息都不用再鎖起來或複製貼上保存，因為反正都不再珍貴。

我想我一直很害怕這件事。

Never, never, never run for work, or you lose something precious, metaphorically and literally.

逢

好久不見得飛利浦帶給我一籮子台灣的趣事。
從他的眼睛裡台灣看起來好特別好美。

上次見面已經是二月的事，二月的我怎麼也想不到現在會在這裡。
他說我進步非常多，噯，看著我法文長大的人呢。
他的中文也進步非常多，偷偷看到他在師大的考試一百分。

雖然好像蠻簡單的hehe。

他也說，在法國二十一歲的思維跟二十四歲有非常大的不同，所以我無法完完全全和同學溝通是正常的，不是文化和語言的隔閡，hmmmm, c vrai ou pas?

再一個月！
再兩個禮拜就期末考了我的天。

ohla j'adore ma classe.

在Global Brand Platform這堂課我們有個我從來沒有過的特別的教授/老師，老師也許可以教不好，但打斷學生的台前報告給予批評或點名針對某個學生特別不專心（沒有人在專心其實）在在都她的不尊重，單純的人對人之間該有的respect。

Lennan直接請老師讓台前的她講完，講了兩次，老師卻說這是你第二次跟我說了。
最後老師坐回教室後方，報告結束時，問Lennan現在可以講評了嗎？
之後的報告每次老師突然插話，都對Lennan抱歉。

在Micro-agency，我們申請的在Ohio的Creeklife和巴黎的Machine de Guerre都選擇了我們。
最後我們決定M，因為沒有別組申請M，儘管兩者的task都非常有去也有挑戰性，兩個startup的負責人都非常好。於是Nour寫了一封信婉拒C：
Dear Ms Duroché and Mr Contorno,

The Project Ü has done a brainstorming and had a long discussion about our customers.

We really appreciated our meeting and both of you, making us comfortable through the interview.
We share the values of Creek Life as we told you and we feel really privileged to be chosen by Creek Life.


That is with a big regret that I have to tell you that the Project Ü chose our first customer Machine de Guerre.

It has been very hard for us to chose one of our customers, because the missions are really interesting and represent a big challenge to meet and especially Creek Life ones.
And we know that we can do it. But the real question is : will we do it as well as we would like ? We only have until the end of February. We would be really frustrated to do not give ourselves a 100% for this project.
As you would like to work with all of our class as you said, If we had the opportunity to chose both of our customers we would do it with pleasure ! And as we told you, Hélène is the only one of the team that has an experience in the SEO area. Of course the deal is to work in team and not all alone.

We appreciate your kindness and would like to keep in touch with each of you. And maybe one day we will have an occasion to meet you in person !

We make you some warm thanks that we hope are going to warm you up under the snow.

Best regards,

The Project Ü

好驕傲我同學，好驕傲我的組。

這二十九個人，無論在台法之間有怎樣的文化差距和語言隔閡，我都不斷感受到國中時期那種班上的團結，當然多了更多成熟和互相學習。

激速知識在com的世界裡不斷疊呀疊。
但我想我需要一點上班和上學以外的文化活動，腦袋快被榨乾了。

祝你們幸福。

那種寧願就此被誤會也不想白費力氣解釋的氣場在那樣相像的不耐煩下不斷膨脹。

原來呀。

Jessy,  One of the facts of life is that it's short in relation to time and history, but it is also long, full, extraordinary and constantly checking in to see if we learned the lessons we were given previously.  In other words, life is constantly asking us to appreciate the simple, everyday moments, not to rush them because soon enough our lives will have changed or morphed (whether we wanted it to or not), and we will be savoring such memorable ways of passing time.  However, it can be hard to enjoy the now when the future we seek appears to be so much more desirable. But let's think about it for a moment. So many of us are conditioned to seek perfection - perfect relationship status, perfect clothing, perfect families, perfect bodies, you name it, we can always improve according to our culture, but what if today is just right? What if once we appreciate how amazing everything is going right now, would we desire more? Would we toss away that friendship, relationship, job, house, etc for a newer and at-first glance better model?  The attitude we bring to our everyday routines, responsibilities and rituals is ultimately what will determine our level of happiness and contentment. Sure we can strive to improve, but if we haven't learned the valuable lesson of appreciating the now, we never will no matter what we gain in the future.  We must not make the mistake of putting yourselves on the never-ending wheel pursuing perfection, and losing sight of all that is going well today. So you aren't in a relationship, so what! You have a job, friends and family that love you and your health. Make the most of these realities that many people aren't fortunate enough to have. So your kids aren't bringing home the grades you want. Are they respectful? Are they kind? Are they trying? Celebrate what is going well, and I am fairly certain, you will have more to appreciate when you least expect it. In this week's newsletter, the podcast was a readers' favorite as we were talking about relationships and discussing the seven ways to build strong and healthy bonds with our significant other. The fall weather was also on my mind as sweaters, booties and camel coats piqued my interest in this week's style posts. Perhaps this week was ordinary, no fireworks, no highlights to speak of. But hopefully if you too enjoyed such a week, we can both realize that it beats a bad week, it beats not having something to appreciate, and it will make those extraordinary weeks all the more wonderful to savor when they occur.  Have a wonderful weekend, and until next week, I'll see you on the blog. Shannon

自由或免費的教育

英國與美國的高等教育學費是眾所皆知得昂貴。

記得在約克沙發主告訴我他的兄姐與同學都是貸款來支付學費，也貸上畢業後自由選擇的權利。除非你夠幸運，或夠聰明，否則年復一年你必須在還不確定是否喜歡的職業中用力償還學貸。他告訴我儘管英國的失業率比起南歐國家並不能算是太高，但很多人仍然無法全額還給，除了拖欠外更選擇不償還，也就是未來英美加可能預見的學貸經濟危機。

今天上課時，來自加拿大的老師說，很多人還不起學貸，信用破產，於是乎直接背個背包，帶上學位離開國家重新開始。

教育應該付費嗎？

在法國，公立大學的學費一年兩百歐，少於一個月的房租，少於一個星期在餐廳打工的薪水，於是很多人到了第三年仍然自由地蹉蹉跎跎。選擇免費的代價可以是很高的，延畢重念等等例子不在少數，當然一年在年輕的歲月裡可能不算什麼，但如果規劃得當，一年可以影響將來好久好久，尤其，當絕大多數的人無法在社會結構上扮演屬於他的角色，更是一種勞力的浪費。選擇免費的代價在那些從公立學校轉到私立的學生眼中，則是一種非常低的投資。

近幾年更有了MOOCs，儘管註冊的人有98%drop out，仍然不可否認這類遠距免費教學的教育型態正在興起甚至有天可能取代傳統學校。只是這樣的遠距教育需要足夠的self motivation、時間和discipline，它也只提供純教學，你永遠也不可能馬克的大一室友。

法國的義務教育也是猛抄筆記和喝斥長大來的，但之後的自我教育與獨立思考卻也佔非常非常大的一部分。現在的同學個個除了猛抄筆記和踴躍發表（言之有物型）外，更有那種非常媒體競爭的小型縮影；只是即便如此，各取所需並相互牽線，那樣子學校與課堂的氣氛是我很久不曾感受到過的。

我想，義務教育當然必須是免費的，是一項不只是國家政府更是聯合國必須給予的投資，其餘的，chacun son choix。

今天接Mathilde下課時，公車上來了一對母子，男孩問媽媽可不可以玩她的手機，
我沒見到母親的表情，男孩將頭靠在母親的肩膀上撒嬌，眼睛眨巴眨巴地要她點頭。

我想起，小時候可以坐在基隆二樓的廁所門檻上，盯著螞蟻一隻接一隻走來走去，一整個中午的睡覺時間。
我還想起，小時候的我總是非常生氣母親總將手機給弟弟玩。
