Studying Abroad | 在外讀書的日子

2016-11-25

This is my first September not returning to school, since I graduated this Spring from McGill University in Montreal! It is bittersweet writing this post, thinking about all the good memories I had, my parents were right - being a student is really one of the best times in your life  

自從年中在Montreal McGill 大學畢業後，這個九月是我第一次不用上學。寫這篇文章，百感交集，想起大學校園美好的日子。父母說得對，學生時代是人生最好的階段。

 

 

Here are some fun facts about my unforgettable, best times at school: 

校園難忘有趣事：

 

Winter lasted for 4-5 months in Montreal, with temperatures dropping to -20 °C. My down parka was my best friend. 

Montreal 滿地可的冬天持續四至五個月，氣温低至零下二十度，我的羽绒褸是我最佳朋友，常伴我左右！

Everyday I walked around 15 minutes to and from school. The campus pictured on a beautiful, sunny day below.

我每日要步行十五分鐘往返校園及宿舍。這幅是風和日麗下，柔和優美的校園。

I learned to fully cook for myself (lettuce wraps were my favourite healthy meal to make!)

我學會了自己一手一腳烹調煮菜。這味自製的生莱包是我最喜愛的健康佳餚。

I lived in an apartment for three years with 4 other girls 

我與另外四位女同學一起在柏文住了三年。

 

On the weekends I would usually spend the whole day at the library, my favourite spots being the Law library and Schulich Library - sometimes taking a study break inbetween by walking up Mont Royal (it's the best view of Montreal).

在週末，我會整天在校園圖書館温習。間中會走上附近的山Mont Royal 休息。這是觀看整個Montreal 全景的佳點。

• I studied an interdisciplinary degree (Arts & Science) so I spent a lot of time in the lab in addition to reading and writing essays for arts classes 

• 我同時修讀文學及自然科學，所以除了文學閱讀寫作外，我也花很多時間在實驗室內。

• I was part of a student committee called P[h]assion, where we threw on an annual springtime charity fashion show that benefitted Maison Plein Coeur, a local Montreal based charity advocating for HIV/AIDS awareness.

• 我參與學生委員會名為P[h]assion, 舉辦春季慈善時裝展，為滿地可慈善機構筹款，關注愛滋病。
