不是很重要的, 但不记下以后恐怕就想不起来了
last summer i had to work two days a week up in lbl while living in san jose. there was no way mother was gonna drive me up to berkely every time, so she just dropped me off in downtown san jose every morning at 7. i'd take an hour of 180 express bus from there to fremont bart, then another hour of bart to berkeley, and spend half an hour getting up the hills by lbl bus. the way back was equally long. it was one of those 一辈子一次足已, 没有过难说更好的事. but at that time i didn't mind the bus ride much. every time i got on the bus there were new faces(like the disgusting old man who tried to get really close with me), ppl who i'd see once in a while (like jacob's younger bro), and those who i'd see everyday (like the cute asian girl who lent me her phone once). the bus back would also pass jojo's street every time.
twas one of the few cool summer days, i was waiting at the but stop when a man in working shirt and pants approached me. he probably recognized me as a student by the blue backpack i had on. i forgot what was the first thing he said, probably asked for the time or something. then he started asking where i was going and where did i go to school. i was a bit creep out but answered him truthfully anyways. (eh, why am i such a terrible lier, so terrible that i can't even make up lies on time.) the guy seemd pleased to hear that i was on my way to berkeley and said he should go visit berkeley too. i didn't give much thought about his comment and chatted with him a bit longer. he told me that a minute ago he had been working in his office as a stock analyst and just wanted to take a break and go explore somewhere he feet take him. little did i realize what he wanted was to follow me to berkeley that day. eventually he expressed his wish to visit berkeley and asked whether he could come with me. somehow i didn't believe that he really had no other plans for the day. 对单调的工作厌了, 所以心血来潮的决定休工一天, 任凭双脚带自己完全没有计划的游逛. 目的地不断变化着, 甚至可以说根本就没有目的地, 唯一能确定的只有出发点. 这样的事应该在小说中出现得更频繁吧? i guess he saw the disbelief on my face. he then told me how he had thought about doing something like this for a while and it was his first time put it to action. although still in doubt, i had great curiocity in his day of supposed random exploration and wanted to be a part of it. so we got on the bus and talked for the next two hours on our way to berkeley. he told me about his work and how back in the day he didn't know better so he didn't value college education much and didn't work hard in school and only wanted to get a job asap, how now that he's 28(or 29?) and learned a lot more about life work communication skills leadership management etc etc, he wanted to go back to school and possibly get settled down with a girl (indian?). i was going to part with him near sather gate, but he wanted me to show him around, so i did. he was really surprised by how big berkeley was. (i guess compared to sjsu berkeley is kinda big.) he waited with me at the bus stop until the lbl bus came. then he walked away to haas, the best looking corner of berkeley in my opinion.
我之所以会记起这事是因为今天也有类似的事发生. talked to a person from lebanon while waiting outside of 74 for the bancroft bus. (i know nothing about lebanon except that it's one of the many countries father visited during his business trips.) we eventually got off at the same stop and walked down telegraph together. 同健谈的陌生人邂逅在公车站, 不亦乐乎? 呵呵 :)
unrelated, but matt's back. :D apprently he's very uncertain about what to do with his life. but at least he's set on doing english, aw, i am jealous of those ppl who have a passion or know what they'd like to do as their careers, like chen, buz, kumi, anna, alvin... eh~~~
