我依然花着巨大的精力去尝试学习语言。我现在已经大学的中文课程里学习了两年，和一群19岁的大学生一起坐在教室里，异同做作业，做测验以及学习知识。无论何时，只要一有机会我就会听语言课程，即使是匆匆忙忙刷牙或者吃早饭时。最近我迷上了华语流行乐。我用翻译歌词来练习语言，因此，关于爱情的喜悦与悲伤方面的词汇量增长迅速。我无法想象还有哪些拥有全职工作的人能够比我付出更多的努力，但我水平的提升速度依然让人沮丧。如果我们当初认真考虑过学习第二门语言的困难，那也许我们根本不会开始。
即使如此，我继续推进我的语言学习，以及继续推进我与这个国家的关系。接下来的5月与6月我会回来在和过去相同的科目（项目）里教学。有时感觉透过这一切，我是在绝望地追寻一些东西（当然并不是我的根，因为我的家庭从来都是以台湾为中心）
我确实陷入了对于我个人的、职业的方向的深深忧郁迷茫中——也许这是典型的中年危机。在我会开始谋划一些戏剧性的决定之前，我得一直避免我无法承受那些自我施加的压力到40岁。我的家人都干得不错。Bing继续作为一个私人外科整形医生并且有了一个妻子和三个小孩（分别5岁、8岁以及11岁）。我妈妈已经在Bellaire教书教了30年。虽然为了养老金她已经正式退休，但很快又回来兼职带两个高年级班。自从她创建了她的中文预科课程，她就声明这是她教书的最后一年。这一年我父亲因为前列腺问题进行了紧急手术，并且因此在出发的前夜取消了为期三个星期的西藏之旅。手术并没有留下明显的后遗症。圣诞节期间爸妈会和我聚个几天。
在斯坦福做了几年教授以后，我的表亲/堂亲Cammy因为突然的、令人震惊的个人崩溃而离去。她辞去了工作，并且直到现在我只能将其形容为迷失的灵魂。
最近，我遇到了到同事们的相似的不满情绪（结果没有这么严重）。太多的生涯困扰，婚姻纷争以及其他的一些烦人的事情需要处理。看起来，作为一个成年人并没有人们所说的那么好啊。
