Time goes by so quickly, and my first semester is almost over, and most of you are going back to your own countries by the end of this month. Maybe we didn't even have many chances to talk with each other, which I felt a bit sad. I don't like to say goodbye yet, but I know time is always cruel; we have no choice in front of "time". I know the coming 4 months will also be very quick.
Here, I want to show you the some of the lines of my favourite Chinese song called "goodbye", and I just chose some of them.
"Looking at the crowded street, listening to my own heart beat... They say nothing lasts forever; we are only here today... Standing on a mountain high, looking at the moon through a clear blue sky. I should go and see some friends, but they don't really comprehend. don't need too much talking. without saying anything. all I need is someone who makes me wanna sing."
I have been listening to this song for years, and I think it is a perfect song for goodbye. Every time I listen to it, I have different feelings, and I think this is life-very difficult, and we have very little strength in front of time.
I hope our remembering selfs can be very precious, and I hope we can remember the pleasant time that we spent in ELI, and later in our life, we can think of it again to see how beautiful our life was when we were young:)
Goodbye and good luck!
Xiaoyue, I am very glad that you are not leaving yet! Like you, I find it hard to say good-bye to special people. It hurts. But if we say "time is cruel," that is only half the story, for, at least in English, we also say that "time heals all wounds." Sometimes, it just takes a while. But nowadays parting is not as difficult as it used to be because of modern advances in communications and transportation, so there is room for hope!
ReplyDeleteXiaoyue, I wanted to thank you for being such a dedicated and faithful student. Having you in class was a joy, and I always felt privileged to read your writing on your blog. Thank you for trusting me and your fellow students as you have!
Thank you, Nathan!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed being a student in the writing class too:) But time goes by so quickly; I will miss the class a lot.
I was able to see a little bit light in my soul as I am not in the fantasy world of perfection any more.
