spring / 春天

這一週倫敦的溫度上升到十五度以上，不用再穿我有些骯髒的大衣很高興。我現在過著公務員的生活，每週有四天早上九點多到傍晚待在學校，可能是我尋求歸屬感的方式之一吧。

This week the temperature in London has risen to more than 15 Celsius degrees. I was pleased to put away my dirty overcoat. Now I lead a very regular life. I am at school from 9:30 am to late afternoon four days out of five. This is my way of looking for a sense of belonging.

雖然沒有把全部心思都放在做功課上，但怎麼說我都是個認真的人，所以就算想鬼混都還是很認真，特別是做網印很花時間，可是我很喜歡在印刷室裡的時光，看窗外的陽光聽鳥叫聲，很寧靜。

I do not spend all my time and energy on my assignment, but however much I want to deny, I still count as a very serious-minded student. Making screen-prints is very time-consuming, but I enjoy the moments in the printmaking room. I love to feel the sunshine outdoors and listen to birds chirping. It is so peaceful.

These are not my final images because Lou picked some problems in them. Today I went into the printmaking room to practice the techniques and mixing colors. Drawing is not just about how I feel. In the end I have to learn to analyze rationally. It's such a long process if I want to produce a really good image... 

傍晚一個人去散步，發現有些花開了，而路上有幾個和我一樣不想回家的小學生，看到我不停地大聲說：「你好！」這是倫敦的初春‧‧‧

In the evening I went for a walk on my own. I found some flowers in bloom. I kept encountering some school children who didn't feel like going home like me. When they saw me, they couldn't help screaming, "Ni Hao!" This is the early spring in London...
