2. I find I’m so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can fees, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...

Rehabilitated? It's just a bull word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time.

8.没有哪一天，我不在为自己曾经的所作所为而悔恨，说这样的话不是因为我在这里(指监狱)，也不是你们所想的我应该这么说以讨好你们(指假释官)。回首前路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，我想要告诉他我现在的感受，跟他讲道理，告诉他解决问题还可以有其他的方式。但是，我做不到了。那个年轻人走得太远，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人?多么愚蠢的话!所以，盖你的章吧，别再浪费我的时间了。
