圖書館搬書的2年 >>【Books I Have Checked Out】

想要出國唸書的人, 需要準備什麼? 需要強健的身體，因為除了要唸書要玩樂，還要搬像磚頭重的外文參考書。我記得我申請到英國的設計學校時，在錄取通知後緊接著寄來研究書單--先來個震撼教育，告訴你，要有心裡準備不是來混的！
為了讓搬書工作能順利，我常常像空姐一樣，拉著登機箱在校園裡穿梭，到了星期五，都會有人問我要去哪裡渡假。我就像患了知識匱乏強迫症一樣， 所有教授同學推薦的書都借來看，在書店 ( Barnes & Noble, Amazon ) 看到的書也用借的，為了怕這麼多書不小心會過期，我都會將借書單列印出來，最後還為了這些書做了一個【Books I Have Checked Out】的 project。
至於這些書，是不是都看完? 設計和藝術的作品集都看完，理論的書只有選某些與研究專題相關的章節讀，在芝加哥唸書，你可以透過學校網頁向當地州 ( Illinois State ) 內80多所大學借書，幾乎任何書都可以借到，包括中文小說。最後這些書當然都歸還圖書館，有些書捨不得分開就付了錢，讓他們一起回台灣。我們會在以後的時間慢慢看見， 認識這些書--
