若愚居

星期四的AB堂，原本我想要和學長、姐一起去加簽陳宗仁博士的【台灣早期史】的，原本想說他之前曾在國圖工作，跑過他的公文也跟他說過話，透過這一層小小的特別關係，他會不會破例呢？……

但是他真的是個很有原則的人ㄋㄟ、只開放給大六延畢和大五即將畢業的學生加簽。大四以下的學生，說不簽就不簽，也不容許我們走後門，跟他套關係，以避免落人口舌。他說，學生之間的消息是傳遞的相當快的，如果今天破例加簽不是高年級的學生的話，之後就會有很多不必要的麻煩。

所以我上了一節【台灣早期史】 卻又不得加簽之後，第二節課又回到我原本就選上的【專業英語-新聞英語】。

遲到進教室時老師已經在說明她的授課大綱，和一些作業原則。我算是相當幸運的學生吧！因為老師上到最後，全班點一次名之後就下課囉！如果我沒有加簽到【台灣早期史】之後就失望閃人，沒有進教室的話……呃！點名不到，不知道會被扣幾分呢！

第一週的新聞英語，老師給了我們幾句名人說的話讓我們熟記，可以當做自己的座右銘，也可以當成惕厲。
