2009 年 9 月 9 日，十八歲生日當天，我懷著躊躇滿志卻又忐忑不安的心情，離開了我的家鄉臺灣，來到位於埃文斯頓（Evanston, 芝加哥北部的郊區）的西北大學。當我第一次站在校園中，在密西根湖畔遠眺寶藍湖面上的點點風帆時，我的心中只盈滿了夢想成真的狂喜，對未來的期許卻依然模糊。當時我尚未意識到，我生命中最重要最難忘的四年，即將在這個鍾靈毓秀的校園中展開。
Goodbye Northwestern
Just a few days away from my departure. My boxes were shipped and my room is mostly packed up now. As I am getting ready to leave Evanston, I find it very difficult to believe that I have already spent four years at Northwestern. I still remember so clearly how excited I was when I first set foot on campus on my 18th birthday — I had seen so many gorgeous pictures of Northwestern in all the brochures that the Admission Office sent me, and when I was finally here, everything just looked so much better than the pictures.
Farewell, Meade Lab!
I couldn’t find words to describe my love and appreciation for the Meade Lab, so I made a music video. 🙂
