陀螺


好久没来了。不知为什么,进了NIE之后,整个人,仿佛陷进了漩涡,做完了一份作业又是一份作业,转呀转的,有点像个陀螺。忙到最后,已经不知道自己在忙些什么,为什么而忙了。

上个星期被派到学校去观察教学,竟然见到了中学很疼爱我的一个华文老师。在观察一堂课时,老师分下复习作业,叫学生自己复习。闲来无事,就帮帮坐在我身旁的男孩,下课时,他对我说:“老师,谢谢你。“

有惊喜,有错愕。忽然发现,我,已经不是学生了。虽然,在我老师面前,我永远都是个学生。但,人生的另一个阶段,却在我不知不觉中,突然袭了上来。

最近碰到一些不如意的事,真的发现,人,活在世上,真的有许多自己没办法解决的事。自己一生骄纵,现在才明白。 不开心时,并不是想什么就能开心的。不喜欢长大,因为觉得太无力。

Krimml


decided to visit Krimml instead of our original plan of Graz or Innsbruck...despite that its inaccessible location that means we have to spend a night on a train when we leave in order to reach Chur in time to meet the Glacier Express the day after and it takes numerous train-hopping plus a bus that never appeared to get up to the mountain village. in the end, we had to trudge up the mountain road, knocking on every door (and there were very little doors to knock) asking for directions in hope of an offer for a ride up. we did get a ride...when we were halfway up ;p

In the end, it was all worth it... Krimml is a beautiful village... we went there for the famed Krimml Wasserfalle, and got so much more in return...

The peace and quiet of a secluded mountainville was what we needed after the crowded cities of Vienna and Salzburg. We got a lovely room complete with breakfast and offers of a ride down for 17 euros. There was barely a soul as we wandered around the minuscule village. The air was sweetly fresh with the recent rainfall and pure. The surrounding mountain peaks created a calm and serene atmosphere. For once, there was no place we needed to rush to or see, we just needed to be, and take in this feeling of tranquility... it was a wonderful rest in the midst of our journey...
