    美利坚之梦·等待

    如果问我小学时的梦想是什么,我可能会说上大学。

    如果问我中学时的梦想是什么,我可能会说上重点大学。

    如果问我本科时的梦想是什么,我可能会说在这儿读博。

    如果问我硕士时的梦想是什么,我可能会说在这儿读博,或者在那儿读PhD。

    那儿就是合众国,一个缺少历史的移民国家,一个和我们黑白颠倒的国度,一个自由民主的帝国,一个揣满钞票的警察。大家都喜欢往美国跑,这既是原因也是结果。我曾经在迷迷糊糊中被人劝成寄托一代,又在试图触碰新大陆的时候挣扎着放弃。人生轮回的很快,很快我就要以第三种姿态来面对它了,既非投入,也非隔绝。

    从第一次在新公司听说技术年会,我便觉得那应该离我并不遥远,只是头儿帮我改论文时我才有些一点危机感。盛夏八月,结果揭晓,平静如意料之中,接下来要从护照开始办起。

    8月27日,美国大使馆签证处,要走一遍过场。问过啃公子签经,他居然已经全然不记得了,倒也是,我的GRE成绩已然过期快一年了吧。排队时旁边的一个小妹妹抱着一摞材料,瞟了一眼第一页的标题,"F1 Checklist xxx"。我旁边的老太太是同乡,问我是不是去留学,我问我是不是看起来太幼稚了……是不是失去了一段本不属于自己但又属于自己的经历,就要用更长的时间来弥补,否则就停滞在原地不会成长。不论怎么积极的去燃烧自己,也不会发生化学反应,俗称火候不够。

    VO是个阿姨,blonde,非水车。前面的一家三口被她盘查了至少20分钟,连照片上的娃娃都不放过。轮到我也没好哪儿去,156上的所有项目基本被她重新问了一遍,并且每两个问题间隔10秒以上。其中有个问题问我是否购车,我一紧张把腰间的工牌递了过去。后面一大叔插话,问你买车了没有,我大汗……居然被这么土的人给B4了。至少5分钟,没带表,最后给撕了个条外加一纸说明。我觉得这应该算是过了?没敢问,反正不影响结果,一路小跑回家。

    三个星期后启程,续写本该三年前发生的故事,殊途亦不同归。等VISA中……
