Goodbye September

It was last day of September today.
September was very busy month for me.
In 1st week and 2nd week, I had “Academic English” class from morning to evening every week days.
Then I did volunteer work for 4 days from early in the morning to night.
After that, I went to France.
While I did all those things, I made Belgium waffle with my friends, went to Tames Festival, met new friends and went to dinar with my tutor 3 times.

It was busy.
In other words, it was good.
Because I like being busy.
So I enjoyed myself this month.

In these days, I like to talk in English although my English is broken(haha
It could be good sign for me.

Tomorrow I am going to university to fix my timetable.

I hope it will be fine...

Have a good night!

Only 5 months, therefore...

It must be precious.

I would like to say that.
For me, sometimes things become important because those are limited.
I am not sure I can express this feeling in English.
But I feel it in my mother tongue.

Time flies actually.
I can’t believe that it already passed half a year...
Compared with the time I came here, I made progress in my English.
However it is not enough for me.

Today I thought sincerely.
Because I had an orientation today, and there were a lot of American students.
They spoke so frequently and quickly.
Of course they are native and I am Japanese.
But this incident makes me motivated to study English more.

I don’t want to regret my life, study in U.K.
Therefore I must study hard.

Vacance de Provence

I went to Provence in south of France this weekend.
I stayed at my acquaintance’s house near Aix en Provence.
It was very very good.
Coz foods were delicious, people were cheerful, women were beautiful and climate was very good.
I really want to live there in the future.

I went to Nice as well.
I have been there for 2 times actually and my friend also recommended me to go there.
It was awesome!

I want to have a friend who lives in there(haha

Anyway I will start my academic module from tomorrow.
So I have to adjust my time of life.

Have a good day!

I'm going!

Hello everyone.
I am going to Provence this afternoon.
I’m really looking forward to it.
Actually it is for long time to go there.
I went to there when I was high school students.
I mean... maybe 6 or 7 years ago.

To be honest, for me, it is first time to go outside of UK.
Since I came this country in April, I have been a lot of place in this country.
South to North. East to West.

So now, it is time to go out from this country(haha

I am concerned about immigration and French a bit.
But it might be all right.

While last 2 weeks, I was so busy that I haven’t had enough rest.
So I enjoy a vacation in Provence.

Have a good day!

Goodbye Friends

I had a farewell party for my Korean Friend yesterday.
My Japanese friend held the party and I met her sister.
Her sister was actually beautiful(haha

In there, I met some other friends.
They looked like fine, so I was happy about it.

Maybe it was the last time for me to attend a farewell party of my friends at this moment.
Almost all of last September students and language school students have already gone to their countries.

So from now on, I should concentrate on my study harder and harder.

Today I am going to go Buckingham Palace and then I am going to my office to see my tutor.

Have a good day!

100 Percent Design London

I finished volunteer work yesterday.
It was hard work actually but it was not a demanding job.
I think It was very good experience for me,
coz I hadn’t had such a experience like explaining or promoting products for general public by English.

I explained about “Tatami”, it is a Japanese traditional mat”, many times.
Now I really know about it very much indeed.

Almost every day, my boss treated me a lunch and dinner.
My boss is a president of the company that produce “Tatami” products.
He tries to promote and sell his products in foreign countries such as Europe.
He is really good man and has some respectable points that I should imitate(haha

Through doing volunteer work,
I got a valuable experience, view for business and new friends.

So I must say that it was precious time for me.

Anyway, have a good week!

Hard Working

In these 3 days, I have been so busy.
After moving my room, yesterday I worked for almost 11 hours.
And I also worked for 9 hours today.

I don't work hard for a long time.
So now I am very very very very tired.

I try to do my best for another 2 days.

See you

Moving again

Today, I moved my room again.
It was soooooo tired.
I started moving from 3 o’clock and finished it at 7 o’clock.
Oops.

Now I am so exhausted that I don’t want to move anymore although I will do volunteer work form tomorrow to Sunday.

It takes all most all day from me.
But I’m really looking forward to doing it.

I will do volunteer work at an exhibition held by Japanese company.
It is called “100% design exhibition”.( http://www.100percentdesign.co.uk/page.cfm/Link=1/t=m/goSection=1)
So I have to prepare to it.

Have a good night!

Belgian Waffle

Yesterday I went to Victoria to make “Belgian Waffle” with my friends.
One of my friends went to Belgium recently and she bought a mix of waffle.
I brought a machine of making hot sandwich to make waffle.
It is a bit weird, isn’t it?(haha
We could make waffle.
But, because of machine, it was like a pan cake(haha

We ate a lot of waffles actually.
So now, I don’t want to see a waffle for the time being.

After cooking waffles, we went to Tames Festival.
It was very good.
We hung at there for almost 7 hours.
To be honest, we were walking over 6 hours(haha

This week, I have no class.
So I have to study by myself.

Have a good week!

"Academic English"

Finally, I finished “Academic English” today.
Actually, it was sooooo tiring (haha
Because the reason why is the class starts from 10 o’clock until 4 o’clock.
It looks like high school, isn’t it?

But my class was absolutely good.
Everyone is very sophisticated and very kind.
To be honest, my English level is so bad that I couldn’t understand why I was in that class.
But now, I really really pleasure it.

Today, one of my class mates did a presentation about “Iran”.
Let be honest, I had a little bit bad image for that country.
I mean “scared”.

However, after her presentation,
I really remembered the proverb “Seeing is believing”.

So I must go some country I really don’t know at all.

By the way, I had a dinar with my programme tutor.
Actually she will equip her job and go back Japan end of October.

She will start a business in Philippines.
Her plan for it is very interesting.
I hope she will be success about it.

Anyway, from now on, I try to email for my class mates.

See you

Jack and the Beanstalk

Finally, the day I have to move was decided.
It is tomorrow!!
Wow! I have to pack my all belongings.

Owing to negotiation, I was able to get much better condition than before.
So I think I will be able to finish it easier than I expected.

By the way, my friend will go to trip from tomorrow.
Therefore I keep his plant for about 2 weeks.

I really think it is good to put some plants in my room now.
So, maybe, I will buy a plant after coming back this room.

I took a picture of the plant and my doll.
I bought it when I went to Penzance.
It was first time for me to travel in U.K.

Actually this picture looks like “Jack and the Beanstalk”.
I haven’t known that it is fairy tale of this country (haha

Anyway, have a good night!

Miss the sun shine

I really miss the sun shine.
Summer totally already finished although it is still September.
I feel it is like almost winter...

I finished my essay right now.
But actually it is rubbish.
I’m really really concerned it.
Anyway it is finished tomorrow whether it is bad or not.
It is an act of God.
Could be he will bless me.

Actually I hasn’t bend over backward.
It is absolute limit.
So, definitely, the God will abandon me.

Oops.

What is worse, I am not sure that I move my room tomorrow or not.
Sigh...

Busy week

This week is actually so busy.
First of all, I had to do presentation. But, actually, it already finished.
So it is OK.
But I have to write an essay and submit my CV for internship to my tutor.
So, after the class, I went to my programme’s office today.
However my tutor already went back her house.
Oops.
So tomorrow I have to go there again...

And most disgusting thing is I have to move from my room to another room that is in another block of this hall resident with my all belongings...
In addition, the date that I have to move is not decided yet.
So maybe it is Wednesday or Thursday.

And, what is more, in Friday, I will make short speech to new Japanese student of my programme.
I am concerned about it a little.
Because they must be tired(haha

Anyway I like being busy.
So I will be fine in weekend.

Night Picnic

I went to Tate Modern with my friends yesterday night although it was strong rain.
The scenery around river Tames was so beautiful.
I was little a bit amazed actually.
To be honest, the river is not so beautiful in the daytime.
But it becomes so beautiful night.

By the way this weekend, I have a lot of things to do.
Oops.

So I have to stay my room all day long.

Weather of London

In general, British weather is not good.
I can understand.
But, to be honest, this weather makes me depressed.
It looks like suddenly changing summer to end of autumn. Oops.
I am very much concerned about real winter of this country.
Definitely it must make me tired and sad…
So from October to February, it could be hell.

Sigh…

Harry Potter

Yesterday, I read “Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows” all night.
Because of it, I could not get up today (haha
So I was absent from morning class.

The first volume of “Harry Potter” was published when I was 14 years old maybe.
Finally it ended yesterday. It is for me a kind of the end of travel.
I really imagined Harry Potter’s world very much when I was junior high school student.

Someday I would like to read through all volumes of this book.

Japanese PM

Yesterday, Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Fukuda suddenly resigned his job.
I don’t know the reason why but maybe it is because of political tactics of Liberal Democratic Party. They are in hard competition with Democratic Party.
Actually, from my point of view, those 2 partied are not so different.
But strange Japanese politics has allowed Lib Dem to lead government for so long time.

Anyway, like as previous PM Mr. Abe, Mr. Fukuda also suddenly resigned.
I am very much wondering what is going on the future of Japan.
