我喜歡這邊的碩士教育。
I fall in love with the master education here.
這邊成功塑造出一種讓你敢勇於犯錯的環境，學生不斷被要求提出自己的想法、動機、思考邏輯。也有可能是設計學院的關係，風氣自由，加上設計並其實沒有標準答案，所以學生可以不斷從心理學、社會學、人類學中，去尋找支撐自己想法的依據。
Here is a kind of atmosphere that students are encouraged to make mistakes, provide their opinion, express their motivation, and share their thinking. Maybe it’s because I am in the Art & Design school. Since there is not standard answers in design, so design students can find supporting from psychology, sociology, or anthropology.
星期一聽了四位藝術設計學院學姊的分享，發現一年真得可以做很多很多事情：其中一位藝術學院的學姊發現了自己對於學術研究的興趣，她的主題是「疤痕」。她發現疤痕是很個人的回憶，而且通常代表了很深刻的回憶。另一位學姊則是用碩士作品創業，那是一種可以戴在脖子上的裝飾性藝術，所以她的研究範疇包含了設計、包裝、行銷、品牌規劃。
After listening to the seniors’ sharing on Monday, it is clear that one year is long enough to achieve many many goals. One of the senior found her interest in researching. Her topic is “scars”. She found the scar is often equal to a very personal, deep experience. Another senior start up by her master outcome, which is a kind of decorated art. Her research objectives comprise product design, packaging, marketing, and branding.
他們用了「自我指導」之類的詞彙來形容這邊的碩士教育，沒有比這種方式更貼近我想要的下一步了：加入小工作室或是弄個個人工作室。
The seniors used a term, “self-directed”, to describe the master system here. I think it’s the best way for me to achieve my personal goal in this MA, which is joining a small studio or start up with my personal studio.
享受自由之前必先學會紀律（茶）。
Also, I found that before enjoying freedom, I need to learn how to lead a disciplined life.
