躡腳走在輕與重之間

就要離開了．

原本應該上個禮拜四就走的，因為諸多緣故，我又在這個小鎮La Mesa多住了幾晚．

今晚把飛往San Jose的登機證印出來，明天真的要走了．

今天依舊是風和日麗的南加氣候．聖誕節後一天，小鎮還在過節的慵懶氣氛．常去吃的墨西哥小店還沒有開，那個老闆在重複我的點餐時，會用標準的西班牙文唸一遍，我永遠也學不會那個打小舌的發音．他們的墨西哥餐就是跟連鎖墨西哥速食店不一樣．中午時候，我常看到滿身污漬的墨裔勞工階層，開著破爛的小卡車來這裡花十分鐘啃一個burrito．我總是想這裡的食物就是他們道地的家鄉味，他們的心裡或許是甜蜜而心酸的．

Finally, the last day of the class. A feeling of relief soared in the air. Everyone was laughing and each presenter received warmest compliments.

This MA program was so long, two and half years. Not to mention some people spent five years to get through it. Everyone seemed eager to step out of the program and started a new life.

十二月的第一則文章，就是要跟我的他說　生日快樂．

在我這裡今天還是八號喲．
