| Children's Aid Society of Toronto @ @ @ @ This is where i want to work one day. They protect children from hurt. They deal with cases of abuse and neglect. I want to be part of that kind of work. As a kid a long time ago, I have always dreamt of visiting schools and parents to teach them how to raise kids, how to care for children. One day, I hope to be able to do that at CASToronto.

No more internet access from home, which actually is a good thing, 'cause i spend my time doing other things. Suddenly, I remember a conversation with Flora and Ah Po last Friday evening when they came over for dinner. Flora and Ah Po teach at the Hong Kong Institute of Education in Hong Kong. They are over in Toronto to work on their thesis with a supervisor at OISE. It's funny when I was recounting some things that happened a few months back, I said, "when I was in university ..." And I thought, oh my! I can't believe I was talking like that, as if I am now in my late 20's reminiscing about my undergrad years! I just graduated for 2 months! Gimme a break. Then today, I was talking to myself, "Cat, can you believe it? You're not a student anymore? You don't even use ROSI any more. Did you know that the second years just registered their courses? You're out of school. Can you believe it?" I was thinking about the internship position at my church (Knox), working with female university students. I am still waiting for the reply from the personel committe. In some ways, if I am going to work with students, I am not going to lose touch with university. Yet I am not in school any longer. How can I identify with them? Replying myself, I said, "no, I can't. I just can't believe it. I am already feeling left out. I wish I am still part of it. I wish I can be back in school again and be competitive and all. I've lost something. I've lost a lifestyle that I have enjoyed for 18.5 years." 2.5 years of kindergarten. 6 years of elementary school. 3 years of secondary back in hong kong. 3 years of high school in north america. 4 years at u of t. every september, it was same old same old, "back to school". Okay, go shop for some paper, some binders, some cool pencils. Hm.. how about the new books I am gonna get. The new courses... envisioning myself learning a lot, reading a lot for classes, and new hopes for getting an A. In this September, it will just not be the same. Indeed, it will never be the same even when I am going to return to school a year or two later. It's 'cause I will be growing up. It's 'cause I'll think and feel differently, 'cause I am no longer a kid. Haha... and someone older and wiser's gonna soon say to me, "Get over it, kid!" |

| S e p t 8 , 2 0 0 3 . B a c k t o s c h o o l Got off St. George Stn. I guess that's the typical route commuters take. Never did that to go to the campus for the past four years though. Day 1. Wow, I never noticed so many bikes parked outside the OISE building. Had there always been so many during the school year, but just that I never realized? Busy streets, student lining up for hot dog and the stir-fry truck outside Robarts. lots of business! I felt this sense of liveliness and anticipation for this school year. U of T Bookstore plastic bags, new or used textbooks inside, unsurprisingly. Faces. You recognize some of them after four years. Some have been there since my first year. Now that I have graduated, I wonder why they are still around. 're they doing what they call the "victory lab"? Someone just told me last night (in a teasing way) -- That's the name for the fifth year of undergrad... implying you must have messed up at some point so that you need to do a fifth year now. students walk so steadily at lively rhythms on the campus streets, as if with much confidence and bright hopes for this school year. I felt rushes of sentimental feelings springing forth inside my heart. Walking on Bloor street, in between people passing by, I teared for a little bit. And thought back. My four undergrad years at U of T had been great. |
