现在是美国东部时间2009年9月1日晚上11:00。再过不到8个小时，我就将踏上归程，回到我的工作岗位上去，继续我的教学和研究工作。

Bloomington是个好地方；IU给我留下了深刻的印象。在这里呆了差不多1年时间。开拓了视野，增长了见识。要走了，内心的那份依依不舍尽然那么清晰。一边说着“再见”，一边在心里祈盼着能够早日再见……

酸一下，选一首歌来寄托一下此刻的心情：

Our Farewell

In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not at my sight
But theres nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

So sorry your world is tumbling down
I will watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.
