开博篇
大家好,欢迎来到我的博客!
这其实是名义上的开博片,说“名义”是因为我不止在一个网站开过博,但是博文没有超过两篇的,每次开博都有不同的心情,这次也不例外。我看中的google相册功能,我准备以此记录我在波哥大的有限的生活。
这其实是名义上的开博片,说“名义”是因为我不止在一个网站开过博,但是博文没有超过两篇的,每次开博都有不同的心情,这次也不例外。我看中的google相册功能,我准备以此记录我在波哥大的有限的生活。
来这边也已经有九个多月了,越来越觉得我还是不适合做生意,虽然如果我尽力我也可以做得很好,但这终究不是我想要的。所以我还是要回去的,在北半球的大洋彼岸有我日夜思念亲爱的家人、有伴我长大的一路走来的好朋友,更重要的是还有我的梦想。
最近我一直在考虑我何时回去的问题,今年回去当然很好,我可以选择七月或者十月,然后报名考研究生,虽然华师大的商学院已经搬到了鬼不生蛋的闵行紫竹园区,可是那里仍然是我圆梦的地方,总是吸引着我不时的关注着那里的一切动向。不过这样一来我在这边只呆了一年时间,没有学好西语,没有什么积蓄,没有更多的经验和社会关系。如果明年回去虽然我可以学更多的西语,有了点积蓄,但是我又老了一岁,待我读完研究生已经是名副其实的奔三了,那样会有很多的后遗症。
对于这个问题的思考确实是很系统很复杂也很关键。只是我知道我在波哥大的时间不多了,但愿这最后的时间能给我带来快乐,希望此博可以记录我的快乐!
