Walking

After visiting the art museum, I walked to Umeda station.

I stopped on at convenience store on the way to read magazine.
"Inuyasha" and "Hazimenoippo" are now very interesting.

Then I took the train to my home from Umeda.
And it was about 6:00 pm at Umeda and the train was very crowded.
I got tired...

What?
It's because I walked long?

...No kidding. It isn't heavy exercise. I often walk at job hunting.
I got tired by crowded train.


Then, I went to CD shop.
I wanted to buy a CD.
Hatsune Okumura released her first CD and I liked it very much, listening to the track on the radio the day before yesterday.

I could buy not only it, but also other 2 CD.

It is a little big expense...

To be honest, I'd like to go to Tokyo in this month.

So,,,I feel fear of money...

Kyoto

I went to Kyoto for job hunting.

I hadn't been there for a long time.
I felt good old at the sight of Kawara-machi station.

Near the station, local shopping streets are open.
I entered one of the shops selling Japanese clothes, kimono and other goods.

I looked for furoshiki, and I piked up 3. I couldn't make my mind.
I wanted one because I meet a friend tomorrow. She has some interest in furoshiki.

After 10 minutes, I decided 1 and bought. It has prints of Japanese goods on black cloth.
I liked it very much.

TV

I have been watching TV from this morning.


I watched the TV program which I have not watched for a long time...about 3 months.

I felt very interesting.

It was about sports news and entertainment on quiz.


In the evening, I will go to shopping and get denim pants.

closing time...

I went to Visola, which is the big society of shops in Mino city.
I went there 8:40 pm, but most of the shops were already closed.

I wanted to buy light jacket with pockets inside.
I wanted to look for jackets in several shops and select one comparing several kinds.

At last, I chose a jacket near my house.
At least, it is good shopping because of discount.

I need long sleeves jacket.
I need pockets inside of it.

I feel cold in the air-conditioned room.
Female students however, feel comfortable/cool though they wear lighter clothes than I do.

decision

I havn't made the decision of company entrance.

Today, I work as a part time job wondering about it...


I noticed that the company I got the informal decision is small organization...


...What to do??

reached

I accepted the offer letter of job before graduation.

I want to take tests of other companies, but I don't have so much time...10 days.

Ideally, I want to get offer letters from other companies in this 10 days...but it seems impossible...


I have to decide whether I will continue job hunting or not...

posting

I submitted the paper for the entrance to the company.

I could hand them in directly at the office because I went to the university by train, today.


I had to go to Ten-nouji in the early morning.
It was another interview test of a company.


Fortunately, I will able to finish the job hunting, but I want to go to a few company test seeking other good companies.

And I started to hesitate to enter the company...


WHY?


Maybe, it is because the job is not what I want to do actually...
And maybe it is because I'm just nervous...

Anyway, I feel a little free!

vehicle

I went to a office at Esaka from Osaka university in Suita.

Firstly, I was planning to go by train, but I noticed that it is faster to go by bike than by train.


I got lost for searching the parking place.



Unfortunately, I was late for the meeting by the problem of scheduling...

stew

I cooked stew.

Then I remembered the stew made by my friends in Tokyo.
They share one house and manage it. They belong to a circle across universities.

They cooked stew and eat together.
It was very delicious.


I have not met them for a long time...About a year...

1 week later

I cleaned up my room.
I hadn't done for half a year...!
And I don't finish it.

Kansai International Airport

I went to Kansai International Airport with my mother to pass on.

On the way, we took a train.
This is my 3rd experience to take this train.

This train is very charasteristic.
On the way, this train is separated for 2 trains.

One goes to Kansai International Airport, and the other goes to Wakayama.

Of course we took the train to Airport.

We enjoyed the view outside of the train.

South Africa

The day after tomorrow, my brother is going to leave Japan for South Africa because of the tour arranged by chorus he belongs to.

So, my mother started to make a plan to see him off.

It's good, but then, she always says that she will stay at my house.
For good or bad, I'm going to drink with my friends, and I'm too busy to let her in.
Further more, I have to finish 2 report to hand in Monday.

Tomorrow I will go to concert and drink.
The day after tomorrow, I will go to see off my brother.

But, I hope that I can put her up.

Furoshiki

I started to use furoshiki.

This is very useful because almost any kind of things can be put into furoshiki.

Furoshiki is one piece of cloth used as bags.
There are many kinds and variations of design, and very colorful.

We can use it as a bag, encasement, and backpack.



This is very useful and doesn't produce garbage, different from bags given in store.
It is very good at the view point of ecology.

rain

The rain has come and it has been raining these 3days.

I can't hang the washing out to dry.
Unfortunalely, I don't have any Y-shirt to put in tomorrow!!

I will have to put in Y-shirt I weared last week...

time keeper

Today, I attended a class as a teaching assistant.

I was in charge of time keeper for the presenter on their papers today.


Unfortunately, I did not have stop watch. I only had my list watch.
So, I used my list watch as a stop watch.

I kept time, listening to their presentation.


I am glad to finish this role without any mistakes.

To be honest, I hardly ever complete any mission without a mistake.

tired...

I overslept this morning again...

I woke up at 8 o'clock am (of course!), but I got up at a half past 9 am ( of course...)

I think this is because of the lack of sleeping, especially yesterday, and beer.

Yesterday, I returned from Tokyo by night bus, and I worked all the day.
Furthermore, I drunk beer before going to bed.

It was about 12 pm, so I thought I would be awake till 9 am.


...It was naive estimation...

Fortunately, I got to university in time for the class, but missed to meet a girl, who I had made promise to meet this morning.

breakfast

I overslept this morning...

I was absent from classes, and get the company explanation in late.
Even it is from 13:30.

The explanation was held near one company one of my friends are working.
The slight memory gave me good feeling...
I have not walked in such a good condition for a long time.


By the way, I felt depressed for my decreasing English, when I noticed forgetting "breakfast" for the word meaning of morning diet.

holiday...

I went to test center in Shin-Osaka.

I went there once, but I don't feel that I marked good score.
So, I took the test again.


I don't get used to it.
The monitor of time left and questions left is not easy to keep my pace.

I passed one set of questions.
I'm not satisfied with this test...


But I hope to pass the first task for entry exam.

danger!

I was running a street by bike.
The street was with a lane each way.

A track came following me, and it started to pass me.
But narrow lane and car coming from the opposite direction made it move to aside.

So, it went very near to me...!
It almost hit my bike!

Fortunately, it was on a cross and I could avoid it.

Track was running very fast, and my life was almost gone if it had hit...


More careful attention is needed on driving.

Canada

One of my friends in the university is going to Canada next month.
She is planning to study at UBC. And she said she's got the notification on her entrance.

She looked very relieved...

In contrast with her, I have been getting rejection from companies...
I started to feel nervous...

Why do I work?
What do I want to do?

seminar attending

I attended seminar as usual.

Today, we had 2 presentation by bachelor students and 1 presentation by doctor course students for academic conference this weekend.

I felt at ease because I was not in charge of presentation. In addition to it, no teacher attended to this seminar today.
This is very rare case though professors are very busy. It is because 3 teachers take charge of the seminar. So, usually, at least 1 teacher comes to the seminar.

But, today all teachers were absent.
Better or worse, assitant teacher came (as usual...)

She worked so much today...
She was also in charge of one class today, instead of professor, in official trip.

Leave...

Today, I went to university, with my watch left in my house.

So, I didn't know when it was...


I got home, and then, I went to my part-time job...

I left my watch in my house, again.
And, this time, I left my mobile phone in my house to charge the battery.

So, I didn't know when it was...


It was very inconvenient not to know the time...


Furthermore, my watch is automatic wind. So it could stop in my house.
Till tomorrow, I won't forget my watch.

indecisiveness

I went to Nanba to buy some clothes.
I wanted botton down shirts.

I found some, but I couldn't afford all of them.
So, I had to choose some of them.


It took very long time...about 1.5 hour...

I went out, had dinner, listened to music, and walked around...
At last, I decided it.

On the other hand, I don't give up the left one.
I'm waiting for the chance to buy it.

When I have more money, or some congratulation time.

drunk

I watch TV.

I sometimes (?) like comedy shows programs on TV


And, I specially like it when I get drunk...

I can laugh when I get drunk more than when I am in normal condition.

searching book store

I went to Osaka municipal central library to return the borrowing books.

Then, I ran to search a book store by bike.
But, I couldn't find it.

I ran through the roads, between houses and factories.


I memorized where the point of map appeared, but no stores were there, only apartment buildings


After all, I gave up the book store, and ran freely in Osaka city.
It was very comfortable because of wind.

Lawyor in Shimane

I looked for it at Umeda.

I went to 3 big book stores, but didn't find...
2 of them has no corner of comics, and the other doesn't have the very book.
The last shop has the corner on the 8th floor, which is the toppest.
Unfortunately, I went there through stairs, because I didn't find elevator.

At last, I found it in the special store for comics.


There are many book stores in Umeda.
I felt it strongly...

presentation

Today, it's my turn to make a presentation on master thesis.

I am not so good at presentation.
Furthermore, I have to make my presentation in English.

unfortunately, my date of presentation went to somewhere, and script of presentation was not completed.

As I imagined, words didn't come out fluently...


Any way, I finished my presentation in this turn.
I will read much/many material on journals.

references

I got some papers for master thesis.

Some of them are written in English.
Reading English papers are very difficult.

I often miss the meanings of the phrase, and the speed of reading is clearly slowed.

And I don't have much time till graduation.
So, I have to get better in English...

It contributes to my future as well as my academic life.

Shirt with short sleeve

I put in a short sleeve shirt, under the jacket...(long sleeve)

It's very comfortable.
I can fold the sleeve of the jacket, and pink on the shirt is very beautiful.

I like pink this year especially.


I will wear the same clothes tomorrow.

shoes

I went to fashon shop near my house.

I was looking for a pair of pink shoes.
I knew the shoes by the e-mail of the shop, but no pink shoes were there.

I don't know if it is sold out or no stock is left.


At last, I didn't buy anything...

I got much pay from my part-time job. So I was buying something...

It's a pity...

jacket

I wear a jacket these days, too.

My part-time job fellow told me that it would be too warm.

I thought so because I put in my shirt, botton-down shirt, and the jacket. I wear 3 pieces of clothes on my upper body though it is late spring, just before summer.

But, at the same time, I ride on bike. So, it is very comfortable in driving.
And further more, if it had not been for this jacket, I would have felt cold this morning...

Morning and evening, it is a little cold, even these days.
The problem is that it is warm enough to take off jackets in the daytime.

Google transit

Yesterday, I noticed that "google transit" gived us the display of the root on the map.

That's very useful!!
I used it as fast as possible...it means it's yesterday...


But, the time of the train is a little uncorrect...

Today, I missed the train on the transit schedule, and furthermore, missed the next train...!

But, I arrived at the destination, Minamikata, earlier than when I had planned...



I know that google doesn't match Japanese situation completely, but, this is extraordinary...
I hope it gets more precise...

seminar

I attended the seminar of university.

The seminar runs in English.

And, I am in charge of seminar management.

Other members of the management are both foreign students. So, we often have a discussion in English.

Then, I noticed that I feel good in speaking in English.


Today, I talked about broken watch, broken ear phone, and other information in English.

While talking, I feel some difficulties with English, but after the conversation, I get a kind of feeling of accomplishment.


Maybe, this accomplish feeling is basic resource of my confidence.

I will do continue writing and speaking in English.

suits

I often put in suits for job-hunting.

But, I don't like to wear suits, especially in the university.

It is true that I look cool in the suits, but it's very formal and bother.

?

You ask me why dislike in uneversity?


I've assumed that university is the place to go in casual clothes... That's my mind...

video

These days, I started to watch videos I have recorded in this 3 years because I noticed that I have to throw away many cassetes.

After starting it, I noticedthat it is not a big task...


Today, I watch "Moving castle of Haul", which came on TV about a year ago, and which is recommended by one of my friends.

weather forecast

These days, weather forecast has been getting reliable.

But, (of course) sometimes miss...


When a event is affected by weather, the mistake of forecast is very serious.

Date is big event for me, and I decided to change the place to go with female friends because it would rain according to the weather forecast, yesterday.

As a result, it didn't rain, and further more, it was sunny...


I didn't have to change...

It was very good to see show.
But, I want to go to Tsu-tenkaku tower.

honest

I have to be honest to the heart of myself, I felt.

Today, I attended the exam of entry to a company.
But, I noticed that I don't want to enter the company so much, and I canceled a party to take this exam...

It's a pity that I can't attend the party...because this company doesn't attract me much.

I talked to one of girl students at the explanatory meeting

Then, I told her to tell me her e-mail address to my e-mail address.
Of course, I tought my e-mail address to her in advance.


But, she seems to forget to send me her e-mail.

I hope she will remember in a short time...

I hear a good news

From yesterday, one of my friends has been visiting Osaka, and he has been staying at my home.

Today, he came to my university, and had dinner at a restaurant in the university.
We met my school fellow there, and we talk in English because one of them is foreign student from Guatemalla.

To be honest, my friend didn't speak much but I spoke mainly.

After leaving there, we talked about it.


He said that people speaking in English look cool!


So, I look cool!! he says.


These days, I begin to feel good in speaking in English.
I don't know what has changed in my mind.

But, International Collaboration, which is the seminar I belong to, welcome it.

I hope I can brush up my English more!

Radio

I watched TV so long today.

So, I felt tired to see some disital screens.


Then, I started to listen to radio.
This is very good idea. I felt very relaxed.

The problem is that PC screen is disital...
I need eye-masks indeed.

resume

I forgot to hand it in to personnel section of one company.

I called to the section and decided to post it.


but...I forgot...

To be honest, I couldn't keep the time to go to post office because I was preparing the drill class tomorrow.


Now I'm wondering if I should post it or go to the office and pass it out directly.
I will go to close plase there by chance tomorrow.

Which is better ?

miss…

I can't find the material about the company I will take interview exam tomorrow...

I don't remember where I left it...
Maybe I got lost in the way to the meeting place...

library

I study on library services.

And I have to make a presentation in this week.

So, I went to library and searched books and journals on libraries.

I study library services in the library.



That's all...

part-time job

A phone rang.

It was from Mr. E, who is one of staffs at the institution where I work as part-time.

He said that I can cancel the job tomorrow for my presentation because a few customers come tomorrow.


I hesitated.
But my presentation was very urgent matter. So, I canceled part-time job.

So, I'll be free and study very much tomorrow...

Reading on train

I took train for my part-time job, today.

So, I read material for my thesis in the train.
It is a bundle of paper whose sizes are A4.

It is a little difficult to read standing in people...
But I feel I could have efficient time management.

The problem is that I don't seem to have enough time to complete the preparation of presentation
on 9th May.

PiTaPa

I went to the station in order to apply for discount of train fee for students.

But it needs the certificate of commuting. I don't have it because I don't commute by train...
I only wanted to discount for usual life.

So I decided to apply generally, for all adults.

I had checked the web page information of this, but nothing is reffered about the certificate except students certificate...

mobile phone

Today, I checked the posting by mobile phone.

A few months ago, it was impossible to send one by my mobile phone.


The reason of impossibility is not known whether it is problem of the kind of phones or of affinity between blogger and my mobile phone.

But this is very good news.
I can post it whenever I like.

T-shirt

I bought a T-shirt at Donkiho-te, one of the biggest discount shops near my house.

The T-shirt is pink, with no print.
It's very simple but very showy shirt.

I bought it because I wanted pink clothes for this spring. I bought polo-shirt, tank top, botton down and T-shirt.

Maybe, I wear pink shirts on summer too! though I am now planning to do it in this spring.


The reason why I collect pink clothes is because I am fascinated in the pink... That's all!

My concern is that pink clothes are suit for me...

manager

I am in charge of managing seminar, this year.

Today, I had to fix the schedule of presentations by M2 students and bachelor students.

M2 students are very acting alone...


No, they are in their situation. It is not their failure.

But, I wanted or expected them to cooperate us...
One day, only 1 presenter, other day, 3 presenters...

This bias is not good for seminar managing because time is limited...


And the most big problem is that... we have only 1 presentation of mine, 9th May!

limit

Time limit is rigor on job-hunting.

When I forgot to send my resume to the company, it was refused and I missed the exam.


But, sometimes, The time limit is set too near.

I got the information of entry sheet just 2 days ago.
But, the time limit of sending it is tomorrow...

I will do it, but I have only 1 day to fill it.
It's not because I missed the message that the time limit is so near, but because the information was sent so late...


I do my best...

Re-start

I went to the seminars of companies self-explanation.

I havn't been participatein the events these 3 weeks because of events on university.

Last weekend, I joined orientation camp for graduate school. I was one of the members to prepare for it.


We could finish it in success.

So, I had some time for myself.


I will try hard.

Teaching Assistant

I took my first class in this accademic year.

I had 1 class today and of course I attended it.

In the same time, I was in charge of this class as teaching assistant.
I prepare the PC and projector for the class, I mark the absence of students, and other works.


Today, the class was almost only teacher's self introduction.
But, the topic was a little similar to my research.

Oh,,, I have to write my master thesis.

list up

These days, I have been collecting CV of students for "Campur"

Some reply at once, and others don't.
So, I have to make an list of students.

I made one.
But,,, I lose it...

In other words, I can't find it in anywhere...

So, I make second list.

Checking files are very difficult...

I slept

I slept very well...?
I got up at 11 am.

Good sleep? or dull sleep?

I went to university on time. So I can say this was good sleep.
I was very sleepy. So I can say this was dull sleep.

Video

I watched a video I had taken 2 weeks ago.

It's "Matsue ladies' half marathon.

Most of the scene is where I know very much. Runners run around my house!...very close to my house.
I felt very familiar.

Then, I remembered watching it last year, too.
Last year, I watched it by chance. I was just watching TV without intent. And the sight of Matsue city came to me.

2 weeks ago, I was in Matsue, where is my home town. I saw many signs on this race.
Then, I searched the TV programms.

I mean, I watched this because I wanted to watch.

I hope I can watch it next year again.

ICOCA

I am often being taking trains these days.

This is because I left my bike in the university about 10 days ago.
And, I visited Tokyo and necessarily take trains. So, I feel less reluctant to take trains.

Today, I had to go to part time job. So, I took trains.
At Senri-chuo station, I run into working fellow in the train.

This is the first experience to meet some fellows outside of the work place.

Commuting by train is better than what I imagined.

Between West and East

I reserved a seat for the Shinkansen to Tokyo.

Because I didn't know the discounting service well, I asked the officer about it.

He said that the ticket to go to Osaka and back to Matsue is discounted by as large as 40%. On the other hand, the ticket to go to Tokyo and back to Matsue is discounted by only 10%.

I asked him what made the difference of their prices.


He said Osaka is under us. But Tokyo is JR-East!


Oh, I see. It's very easy to understand...

Over sleeping

I got up at 10:30 (am)

I overslept for the test for job hunting...
This is the first time to miss the test.

The reason is that I kept wake till 4 o'clock filling in resume to hand in today.

What was I writing it for??

No car

Of course, I don't have my own car.

I have a bicycle and a bike.
I have not been using them for a week.

One reason of it is the 4 days journey to Tokyo.
Another is because I don't go to university.

For example, I walked around my home and buy some daily material.
Yesterday, I went to Osaka Temmangu by train.

To tell the truth, I bought a IC card, called ICOCA to take a train.

From Tokyo

I'm in Tokyo now.

This is the second time visit following to the first visit about a half a year ago.
This time, I have some reservation of explanatory seminars of companies.

After that, I can stay here about 3 days. What do I do?

That's very interesting topic for me from now on.

Shopping

I went to a shop near my house where I havn't visited and bought.

It is Gyomu Super, it sells foods for general customer at the cost at trade price.
Of course I felt that it is very cheap.

Vegetables are especially very cheap.
But, they are sold by set or large pieces.
So, less cost and more quantity of foods.

So, this shop can be very useful because we can buy cheap and many foods but unuseful for those living alone because lots of foods can be left.

Good news!

Today, I got 2 mails from recruiting companies.

Both mails are the information that I passed the examination and can take the next step.
I got the right to meet and be interviewed by staffs.

And One is on 3 27th Febrary, only 3 days later.


I'll do my best!

over slept for the job-hunting seminar

So, I hurried to the meeting place from Umeda station.

At first, I was going to Nakatsu station because it is closer to the place than Umeda, but I noticed that it is more early to do so than it is to go there.

Arrive at Nakatsu 12:57 and walk about 1 minutes.
Arrive at Umeda 12:45 and walk about 10 minutes.

At last, I could be there 5 minutes earlier to the time limit, 13:00.

relieved.

Unexpected...

I attended to milk round held by one of IT companies.

After that, I got home to fill and submit the entry sheet for another company.
On the way home, I run into one of my high school friend. He is now a student who belong to the law faculty of same university.

We have met for more than 3 years. We talked about job hunting and university. We talked merrily though we were on train.

Very pleasant way it was.

numberous goal

I am impressed by my continuance to write this blog in English.

It's true that I feel some difficulty to do this, but I can always work out the topics and sentences.
I can't write this every day, but I want to continue till the number of contribution get 500.

I hope this number comes true by graduation from the university.

A small muffler

I went to central library of Osaka municipal library network by bike.

I put on the long coat and small red muffler.
The muffler is what I bought at the shop in the library some weeks ago. Main parts of it are red and some white lines are on it.
I wanted red muffler, but it is a little too small.
Though I put it on, some parts of neck is essentially conspicuous...

But the color is very good. It shows good contrast with black coat and clothes.


But...
small muffler doesn't prevent all wind...
I felt a little cold...

I cook

Today, I made curry rice.

I chose dolce curry roux because I heard that one of my friends choose dolce curry roux only when he eat curry. Then I noticed that I always choose medium-spicy curry or hot curry.

The taste is... not good!
It's a little bland

Maybe I put too much water...

I have to boil it.

Rest

I slept almost all the day, today.

I woke up at 5 o'clock pm...

I only could have dinner.


News on TV told me that it was cold and very windy today. But these information didn't make sense for me because I was sleeping all the day.

Then I caught the idea of the indifference.

It is said that many young people are not interested in the politics.
They often watch TV and internet bring them (or us) overfull information. But they care only what they are interested in and don't care other things.

I thought that they regard politics as some events in other world or some ritual thing.

To tell the trute, I think so too.
Everyday, Prime Minister or other ministries meet someone or some comittee made a conclusion on education or something...

But our lives are same...quite same.
Whatever they decide, Whoever they meet, Wherever they go, it doesn't matter for us.
Addition to it, that kind of comittee or management of politics or government are very closed. We can rarely touch to it.
Of course we can watch national parliament on TV. But that's all. We don't know how other conference, which is more related to our lives are managed or what they decided...


So, someone we don't know are doing something...(we know only their name and face...)
As a result, the image that Japanese politics make some announcement but don't do anything become common...

This is the image of Japanese politics.
As long as I read some books, in other countries, especially in North Europe politics are very close to people...

?

Story glanced off...maybe...

report

...

I have to finish 3 reports in this week. And I will be busy this week.

As a result of the logic, I had to write them this weekend...

But, I slept over and other task covered all the days.

I went to take my photo for job hunting, library and list up the companies to ask for donation for the academy.

...What should I do?

No, It's obvious.
I mean...Can I finish them all?

I'll try.

driving

I went to Kaiyu-kan, where is one of the most famous aquarium in Osaka.
Unfortunately, I didn't come inside of it because it is very late. But, there is a big Ferris wheel. I took a photo from the opposite side of a river.

The views of structures at night are beautiful because of the light, I think.

I heard that cities in Europe are designed totally or systematic and they are very integrated look. So, I imagine that European cities are much more beautiful than those in Japan.

I have never been to Europe.
I have been to Korea once, but I don't remember what I saw there.

I'd like to see or watch the night view of Europe towns.


Would you bring me to Europe, please!!

shift of part time job

I work at a book store. The store manager offered that I work 3 times a week. Now, I work once a week. I had kept asking him to increase my shift.

I was relieved to hear it because I had been asking him for half a year.

And another good news were that I work at the 2nd floor, where CD shop and stationery shop are. It doesn't mean my advancement or promotion, but only other place of job.

I am glad that I can work other place.
I like to try new thing.

scheduling

These days, I have forgotton to fill in my schedule on my datebook.

As a result, I missed 2 job hunting seminar yesterday. I noticed it today when I had been considering the next action for job hunting.

I could have canceled it if I had noticed it yesterday or before. Yesterday, I attended the oral test of master thesis.

Oh, I'm sorry...


To be honest, I wondered if it would be free when reserving the seminar next month.
Actually, I wondered if I could reserve some seminar on the day.

I noticed the inconvenience of unreliable datebook.

I haven't do my job hunting

I haven't waken up early so long.
I was anxiety about it last night, but I woke up at 6:30 and took train departing at 8:30.
I wondered whether to put on suits or usual clothes.
At last, I put on casual clothes and walked to "L Osaka" from Umeda station, listening to violin concert by Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. It took about 30minutes.

It was very clear today. So, I felt so fresh.

I should be healthy from today!!

?

Because I walked long under the blue sky!

seminar the day

I made my presentation on my master thesis plan.
I had been preparing for this for a week. I made slide shows and reading scripts. I thought I had only to read it...

But, power point didn't work as I imagined. So, I had to check scripts and slide show every time.
It made me confused...

Addition to it, I felt very nervous.These days, I get nervous in front of people, especially when I have to be alone.

As a result, my presentation was not good, or a little bad thing.

I have to show it to my main teacher (he was absent that day).

It gets me down...

Seminar

I belong to International Collaboration seminar.
The seminar run all in English.

Students presentations, Q and A, and other information are all done in English.

I have to practice English listening.
Does writing Blog in English help me with listening?

I hope so...

riding bike

I often run by bike.
I like to run new way.

So, I often go through the street I had not been by then without a slight view of the map.

As a result of that, I sometimes get lost.

Yesterday, I went to Rose Community for my part-time job from school directly, not from my home. I went to new way to go early without map. And I get lost.
I went into the cross I had been once, but I did't find the correct way...I turned to the opposite way.
So, I went very far way...

I couldn't be in time for the job...

Shopping

These days, I seem to like shopping on internet.

I go through Rakuten shop sites.
I can watch various items in my house. I can find almost all kind of materials. I can register and buy easily.


The problem is that I may buy too much and can buy even if I am drunk very deeply.

When I drank, I can easily buy some expensive items. Credit cards are other reason of buying much...

...I have to understand how to have a patience.

Difficult English

We often translate English to Japanese.
But it isn't so easy.

I'm writing this blog in English even if I'm a Japanese. Firstly I tried to write this as a translation of my other Blog. But, I noticed that I have to write aboutother events.

English has the different grammer and I have to work out new sentences and topics.


But I feel that I need to write something in English for my capacity of English.
I have to listen to and write in English.

Window shopping...

I remember this is not English, but Japanese resembling English.

I went to Tokyu-Hands market at Esaka (in Osaka)
At first, I meant to buy reel to attach keys on my belt. But, I didn't want to buy them when I saw them and considered.

So, I decided not to buy anything today. I only walked all in the market watching various items, without intention of buying.

Window shopping ? or walking in the market.

...Quite the same things...

New year bag

...or Fukubukuro.

I got fukubukuro I had ordered through online shop.
It's shoes fukubukuro. 3 shoes were in it.

1 business shoes, 1 leather shoes, and 1 boot.
I think I can use them in this year. I put on leather shoes as fast as I got it.

I hope it won't get too dirty.

First class this year

I attended the first class in this year.
In the class, the topic of test two weeks later was announced.

The teacher write it on the white board in front of the room.

After writing it, he told us the date of the test and other information.


So, I felt that the test had been held today, and that I had to study so far...

A small surprise in the new year.

Don't do it!

I bought a big fried chicken as my dinner.
It's already cooked and I heated it by electronic oven.

But I did't notice that a piece of aluminum foil was covering its part of leg. I put it in to the oven and I found it burning in the oven!

I blew off the flame and I put it in again taking off the foil.


I had the first experience of that kind of dangerous happening.


Don't put in the aluminum foil into the electronic oven.

Kokoro

This is one of the most famous classic novel in Japan.
This is written by Natsume Soseki, who lived in Meiji era.

I read this in the train between Osaka and Matsue.
Last summer I found the book in my hometown.

To be honest, I had not read famous Japanese classic novels at all.

The theme of this novel is that we can't guess exactly what one thinks from what one does. One's characters one usually shows change easily under the situation influenced by money and love...
People are not reliable...

In the story, several people die by their own will.
One dies with the death of Meiji emperor, one dies, leaving his letter. The letter is the later main topic of this novel.

I felt that this is good novel even if this is very old. I understand why this is kept so long. This expresses Japanese emotion, or feelings. Though this is old, the contents are common in now...
