I work in a supermarket as a cashier four times a week. But these days I am busy because of the club, a lot of homework, and so on. So, I can't work much and do my part time job only twice a week. I guess that I won't get a good pay this month. One of the reasens that I can't do my part time job is that we sokyoku club will have a regular concert on December and we are busy now to prepare for that. We practice three times a week these days and I can't have my job on weekend. After the concert have finished we don't have club activities until February so I can do my job on the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I want to get good salary to pay the costs of preparering the concert.
I have been worrying about the difficulty of the relationship with other workers of the supermarket, because there are many women and men who are older than I and I'm not used to have conversation with them. There is a difference between "partner workers" and "part time workers" that the former is the official staff and most of them are mothers generation and the latter is not the official member and most of them are students like me. We rarely have the chance to get to know ourselves better because work times are different from each other in even ten minutes and we dodn't meet in a tearoom or locker room. So we don't enough time to contact with each other.
These days I gradually become used to my job and I can enjoy talking with the workers. I think that it is a good thing to talk with elders and get a various ideas because I always talk with youngs and eat with youngs and study with youngs, I rarely have the chance to pass the day with elders. Actually it is interesting to talk with women and men older that I and I am glad to learn a lot of things from them.
Yesterday I had a part time job from seven o'clock p.m. to ten thirty p.m. and I went to a drinking party with other workers (of course, I didn't drink!) I didn't expect to go but a worker invited me to the party and joined in it. At first I felt nervous because, of all members of it, only I was a part time worker and there are some mem who are not the same work (there are some part of work, e.g. cashier part, fresh fish part, glossary part, flower part.) But they are kind and I enjoyed this party. After the drinking party finished we went to karaoke and stayed there until three o'clock, I was execited and didn't feel sleepy but they are older then I and maybe they wanted to go back home. I feel sorry to them worrying about that I may make them go to karaoke with me. If this is true Iwant to apologize to them. They are kind and they said that they enjoyed too, but I am doubting them. But I enjoyed and actually I am feeling happy to get to know better each other, I hope to make a better relationship with them. Thank you! (Oh, I didn't pay at all! Also thank you!)

Tokyo Disney Land☆
On 13 November, I went to Tokyo Disney Land with my friends, wearing a school uniform! Have you ever gone to somewhere wearing your school uniform after your graduation? I think that most of you have done, especially girls. When I was a high school student, most of my friends and I wanted to go to Disney Land wearing our uniform but we were busy to do club activities and we couldn't do. So we planned to go to there in spring vacation as a graduation trip, but the big earthquake occurred and we gave up that plan. And one day I talked about this with my friends of sokyoku club, they actually wanted to go too and decided to do with all member of this club. I was happy to be able to do what I wanted to, and go to there with sokyoku friends. But I thought that it is late to do this, I wanted to do before I enter a university because I feel somewhat ashamed. Anyway, I enjoyed it and it was good and fun to see my seniors also wearing their uniform :-)
It was the first time in four years to go there so I was excited. Riding on the train to Maihama station I noticed that I used to feel tired and think that it took too long time to get there. But now I go to Yotsuya which takes me one hour and a half to go to from my house every every day, so I didn't feel tired and sat on a seat as usual.
It was Sunday, so we felt out of place to wear a school uniform because there were a lot of families and even teenagers wore ordinary clothes, of course because of Sunday. Besides that, we were wearing different uniforms, so maybe we looked so strange. Well, we felt ashamed a little but we wanted to enjoy, we didn't care about other's looking and enjoyed a lot ;-)
We waited for about one and a half to ride one coaster or something to get on, because there were a lot of people. But we didn't feel tired, we also enjoyed it while waiting. We talked with each other about many things, I was glad to talk with my seniors because we rarely talk with in club. But actually I felt tired to keep standing lining up to the line of many people. Instead of that we felt a lot of fun when we got ride.
I couldn't ride any coaster before. This time I intended not to ride any of them and to wait with those who couldn't ride as me. But there was no one who coulgn't ride a coaster and my friends made me to try to ride. I was so dipressed but I didn't want to fait for them to finish riding alon so I tried.... I didn't have to worry. It was very fun! I wondered why I could ride no coaster, I couldn't believe myself. It was very fun, it is very fun! I wanted to ride again and said "Let's try again.", but my friends said "What? We worried about you because you said you can't ride, you don't ride coasters. Didn't we have to worry about you? :-)" I felt sorry for them but I was glad to be able to ride coasters.
We spent a happy time there. We enjoyed a lot. I want to go to there again with the same member. Thank you!

short vacation 2
November 3, I went to Sophia University festival and Karaoke with the members of soukyoku club. Both clubs and English Literature Department didn't participate in this festival, so I didn't have any work, I just participated in this as a visitor. We went to this festival on a holiday so there were a lot of people and we couldn't go anywhere easily, just were shoved by surrounding people. We couldn't enjoy this very much, we just felt tired. But we were happy to see the scene that many people visit our university and enjoy this. Actually I wanted to see the Miss Sophia but we had to wait in a long line for a long time to see the contest, so we gave up and went to Karaoke.
I was looking forward to this day! I was looking forward for a long time to go to Karaoke with all members of sokyoku 1st year student. To say the result first, I enjoyed a lot and we enjoyed a lot! We kept singing for 7 hours! I had never sung for such a long time, but it was very fun and fortunately I didn't hurt my throat. We brought many sweets and snacks in the Karaoke room secretly, and ate, talked about our club and other things and sung. I want to go with them again. We are planning to go again in December when our regular concert is held. After that concert was over, we don't have club activity for some time, so we are planning other enjoyments like a trip. I am happy to have many enjoyments.
Actually, I had never went to Karaoke until this August. But, on August I went to Karaoke with my friends and enjoyed it, and I have been attracted by it since then. I like singing, so if you like Kataoke, let's go with me!
In my short vacation, I could do what I wanted to and I was satisfied. BUT, next day we had a test in French class! I didn't study at all in the vacation so I had to manage to study for the test only the night of 3rd day and the morning of 4th day. I did my best and studied hard only that time... and I pulled through the test! And the result of that was not so bad, rather good :-) I was relieved, but I don't want to repeat this. So I decided to do my homework every evening even when I feel tired after part time job, or I will be in lost in managing to finish them.

short vacation
We had a short vacation from October 29 to Novemver 3. I didn't have part time job so much in the holidays so I could do what I wanted to. It was very fun because I worked at supermarket every Saturdays and Sundays and I could't go out and play with my friends for a month. This holidays let me have a rest.
On October 31, I went to a theater with my friend and we watched "The Planet of the Apes -genesis-." Actually I wanted to watch "Sutekina Kanashibari" because I like the films by Kouki Mitani, but my friend like foreign films and we watched it. It was fun but I was frightened to watch the movie. The pictures were so close and beautiful, and they seemed real things. It was like a real world, and I worried that this story actually would occur in our world. While we watch the movie, my heart was always beating fast and my eyes couldn't move to anywhere but the screen. Actually I enjoyed the movie BUT I think that I won't watch it again, just one time is good. After watching the movie, we went to a cafe and had a lunch. We talked about the movie and other things. And we ate cakes!
We ate this cake individually. I wanted to eat a big cake only by myself! So I tried to and my fried tried too. Of course, it was delicious, but I felt full a little. But I was satisfied to be able to do what I wanted to. This cafe's is Italian Tomato and this is near at Shinjuku station, so please try it if you want!
And after a lunch, we went to Shinanomachi to go to a temple which is a temple of good fortune. We wanted to get luck so praied for our good fortune in the future. And we tried an omiluji, which of mine was Suekichi. I don't know whether it was good or not, anyway it was writtern that Don't be satisfied with your present situation and Keep doing your best, so I want to never give up and live my life agressively ;-)
November 1st, I went to Kamakura with the members of E.S.S. club. I was a manager of this plan so I did some preparations before that day. It was a name of Halloween party so we should have done something related to Halloween but we could hit upon no good idea and just went to Kamakura. But we enjoyed it. We went to Turugaoka Hachimangu, Koutokuin(to see Daibutu), Komachi street(to have lunch and buy something to home), and sea. I enjoyed sea very much. It was cold, so we just sat down the beach and talked about casual things, but it was very fun. I could see a beautiful senery and listen to a beautiful sea sound! I enjoyed! I want to go to there again. It was really beautiful. I think that we was at there at good time because we could see the sun fall down the sea. We were lucky to see such a wonderful scenary.
After playing at the beach, we returned to Komachi street and ate Okonomiyaki. It was delicious and we got full. We felt so tired because we kept walking all the day, so we wanted to go back home soon. But accident occured on trains just the time when we go back, and we couldn't ride any train and stayed at Kamakura station for a little time. I arrived at home at 11:30 and slept until 12:00 next day.

need changes
A half year has passed since I entered this university. At first, everything was new for me and I was excited every time although I have both feeling expectation and anxiety. So, I enjoyed and satisfied with my school life. These days, I become used to my school life and probably I just get safely through my days. I don't do my best, I don't challenge anything, I just pass my life uneventfully. I want to do new things! I want to see a play, go to a concert, and go to a trip. When I was a high school student, I didn't much money and time because I was in a brass band club and I went to school every day to practice. But now, I have more money and time than before, so I can do new things.....I should be able to do new things, but, I don't do new things these days. I think that that is because of my mind. I want to change my mind. How can I do? Should I clean my room? Should I buy luxuries? I wonder. Anyway, I want to bring about a change in my mind not to enjoy my life, not to pass my life safely.
I don't have a part time job unusually, so I have a holiday today although unfortunately it is rain. That reminds me, it often rains when I have a holiday. Even I had a plan to go to somewhere, it rains and I can't go to there and just stay my house. I am not a lucky girl. Today, I wanted to go to a museum and a shop which are for Zyunnichi Nakahara. He was a girl's magazine artist in showa era. I didn't know him until last month, but at the moment I looked his paintings on a magazine I was attracted by them and I am interested in him now. He draws pretty pictures and they give me a feeling like a dream when I look at them. I wanted to see them directly, but unfortunately it was raining. I couldn't go to there. Instead of that, I went shopping and I bought black shoes which I wanted since before. But I still regret not being able to go to a museum...
Actually, I don't have good events to write about on this blog these days. Since autumn semester have started I have just passed ordinal days. I go to school and do club activity or do a part time job. I want more exciting event. Everyday is calm for me. I take a lunch out of a university with my friends and eat new menue these days, they are interesting but not enough. I go to a dinner with my friends after club activities these days, they are enjoyable but not enough. I can't be satisfied with my surroundings and environment these days. What happened to me? After all, does that mean that I need some change? I think so. I will change my mind and I hope that I will be able to write good news on this blog next week.

What do I want to?
These days, busy days came back to me. I have a lot of things to do. From this semester, new teachers teach us in Speaking Skills and Reading classes. Our teachers give us a lot of homework, so in this semester, it is more difficult to coexist than in spring semester. And I am worrying about my school record. In fact, my grade in spring semester was better than I had expected and I felt easy. But in this semester it seems difficult to get good results as I got in spring semester, because I don't have the passion to study hard now and it is natural to deserve bad results for not having studied hard in summer vacation. Besides that, we sokyoku club have the regular concert in December, and we have to practice hard and have a lot of works. I should take back what I couldn't get in summer vacation and manage to do well what I have to do.
It is true that I have to put my efforts to studying, however, actually I want to do my best in sokyoku club. I love this club and these friends. I like the days of the club activities in a week, I am looking forward practicing and talking with these friends.
As I said above, we have the regular concert in December. This is the only concert that all members of this club can play on a same stage together. Also, this is the last concert for seniors. They leave this club after this concert. So, we want to make a great concert by all means.
At the end of this concert, we have a big ensemble that all members play own instruments. Unfortunately, we freshmen participate in this ensemble only as singers because this music is so difficult for us. But we enjoy singing to this music that all elders plays enjoying. We have big ensemble every year, and there are fourmusics for this ensemble and they change every year. So, this music that we are going to play on this year's regular concert will be played after four years when we freshmen become seniors. This year, we play Doukan(道灌) by Michio Miyagi. We are looking forward to playing this music with elders. We like this music very much. I hope to practice this big ensemble soon.
I don't know what I have to do now. What should I do in this university? What should I do before I graduate this university? What should I do not to regret what I did before? I don't know whether what I do now is
right or not. There are a lot of things that I want to do. I want to improve my English skills, I want to study literature hard, I want to find what I really want to do in my life, I want to do my best in a club, I want to learn what is useful for work, I want to meet many people and see new ideas, I want to challange new things, I want to make wonderful memories with my friends. I want to live my school life happily. I want to make my school life lead to my future. I want to live my life doing my best, giving up nothing. In autumn semester, I want to manage many things I have to do doing my best!

My Summer Vacation
I can't believe that a long summer vacation has already ended! I had thought that 2 months was too long for summer vacation. But, now I am surprised that time fly so fast. Could I enjoy my summer vacation? Maybe I enjoyed it and I have learned good things through my vacation. So, for the most part, I enjoyed it and feel happy to have experienced good things, but for some part, I regret not having used my vacation usefully. Anyway, this year's summer vacation was better than last year because we didn't have to study so hard and could do what we want to do.
If I were asked to express my summer vacation in one word, I will say "busy". I am belong to sokyoku club and E.S.S., and do my part time job. It was hard for me to coexistent them well as in spring semester. On August, both club and circle had summer camp and I participated in them. Both summer camp was held in Nagano prefecture and sokyoku summer camp was succeeded by E.S.S. summer camp, so I could go to both camp. Actually, I enjoyed sokyoku summer camp but I couldn't do in E.S.S. summer camp. That' because I couldn't participate that circle many times and preparation for that camp was not enough. So, I want to show you my happy memory at sokyoku summer camp. ※I don't say that I don't like E.S.S.!
That camp was not enjoyment, that was for practice. So we practiced own instruments from morning to night. And we stayed for 8 days there, that was long camp. It was hard for us to keep practicing with no enjoyments. We got up at 6:30 and begin to practice from 8:00, and practice, practice, practice, lunch(only 30 minutes!), practice, practice, practice practice. . . Until 11:30(P.M.) we practiced, and after that time we practice again if we want to. This schedule was hard in both physical and mental health. But we kept practicing hard and doing our best because we like playing instruments and love sokyoku mates. Although I wrote as if I couldn't enjoy this camp, actually I had a good time! Well, it is true that we had hard schedule and got tired, but that camp was so wonderful. We could grow as a human than before and our relationships become much closer through this camp. Now I think that the reason why I am satisfied with this camp is that this camp was for practice not for enjoyment. It may be difficult to pass whole a week without daily surroundings like a school, part time job, cell phones and TV. It was precious to do only one thing enthusiastically not paying attention to other things. I enjoyed this camp and my skill of playing improved much better than before. We have a regular concert in December, so I want to keep practicing hard and be able to enjoy that concert.
In my summer vacation, I enjoyed club activities, part time job, playing with my friends and visiting somewhere. But I couldn't enjoy studying. I regret not studying at all in summer vacation. I paned my studying schedule before my vacation starts. But I couldn't put it into practice and I didn't study at all. My English skills haven't improved at all.
I want to and should study hard in Autumn semester and I hope that I can write this blog easily and smoothly by the end of this semester.

my spring semester
Three months have passed since I entered this university. Time passes fast. In April, everything was new for me and I tried to be used to new life. I felt tired, but I enjoyed everyday. In May and June, I became familiar with this university life and came to be able to use my time effectively. I knew what I ought to do and what I could do. For example, I have to do my homework hard, and I can sit on a seat if I ride the train that leaves a station at 7:52. Although I sometimes felt boring, everything was new and I enjoyed them. Now, I thank to my university life for taking me a new wonderful world.
In this spring semester, I started many things like E.S.S., sokyoku club, a part time job and so on. And I met new friends! We talk, have lunch, take classes, do club activities and go back home everyday. I learned many things from them and I am happy to have these new friends.
I am busy now as usual. I do my part time job forth a week, which makes me very tired and have little time. Also, I am a member of E.S.S. and sokyoku club, and I do these activities thrice a week. Besides that, I am in a examination time and have to study hard. I have difficulty in dealing with them effectively, but I enjoy it actually.
On 3 July, we have a little concert of sokyoku in this university. That was a first time for freshmen to perform on the stage. So we felt nervous and some of us couldn't do their best. But seniors praised our efforts for this concert and we enjoyed playing actually. So we don't regret it now and feel easy to make thus concert a good memory.
These days, I miss sokyoku friends because we don't do club activity during a examination time. I want to practice in opening classes, have a lunch and go back time with them. But they and U are busy and we seldom meet each other. Today, I will have a lunch with some of them in sokyoku's room. I hope that other members will be in that room together. I want to talk with them and laugh with them. I often feel that our sense of humor is similar. We have topics of common interest, so we became friends immediately. Actually, I feel uneasy when I go back home with someone who is not close to me, but when I go back home with sokyoku for the first time, we always enjoy talking. The other day, I and some of sokyoku freshmen went to concert and I and a friend of them go back home together. In fact, we didn't talk with each other very much before the day. So I worried about an uneasy silence. But I didn't need to worry about it. He was interesting and told many jokes. I enjoyed and thought that we share a common sense of humor.
After that, we rode a train and went back home together talking and talking. Our relation may become closer than before. I hope that the relation between I and the other sokyoku members will be closer. We have a summer camp in August, I want to know well each other there. That summer camp is not an amusement but a real practice. So we will be able to help each other and make a spirit of cooperation.
On the other hand, I don't participate in E.S.S. activity these days. I want to join but I don't enough time and I can't do. In fact, I feel a sense of being neglected because I seldom go to that club. I worry about isolation from E.S.S.. I made many friends there, so I want to keep them. To coexist is so difficult for me.
Anyway, I don't much time to worry about that. I should make a lot of efforts to use time effectively.
I hope that I will enjoy this busy and satisfying life in autumn semester!(not only club but also STUDYING!!)

about "The Yellow Wallpaper"
I enjoyed this story very much. I have never read such a story before (although I haven't just read many books written in English).
Anyway, this story is interesting and worth rereading many times. But, at the same time, I found it difficult to understand what the lines in this story mean. That was because this story contains a lot of metaphors.
I think that there is a difference of expression between English and Japanese.
I am a Japanese and I have lived in Japan since I was born. I haven't been abroad ever and I became familiar with English when I was in a high school. So I don't know much enough idioms and expressions in literature. In this story, I found many lines which I don't know what they really mean. What does this line mean? Can I read this line literally? But I can't understand real meaning with literally reading. Can I read this line in Japanese mind?
So, I don't know whether I enjoy this story correctly or not.
I want to give some examples of that. I read this text as correct as possible in my own way.
I think that many metaphors in this story are about free. And most of them are of the yellow wallpaper.
"There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down." and "two breadths didn't match, and the eyes go all up and down the line, one a little higher than the other." represent the lower position of women.(GILMAN 67) The former may express the women's position at that time. They don't have good passion against inequality and unwilling to fight them or they are tired of their lower position. They are passive. The latter may express the difference of rank between men and women. I think that "two breadths"(67) means men and women. Men are in higher position and women are in lower position. This lines implies the present situation of those days.
Also, "You think you have mastered it, but just as you get well underway in following, it turns a back-somersault and there you are. It slaps you in the face, knocks you down, and tramples upon you. It is like a bad dream." may mean the difficulty of obtaining freedom.(GILMAN 71) If women get equal rights, that won't necessarily mean they will be equal to men forever. To obtain freedom is also difficult. But it is harder to keep having them. Women would meet violence and hostility. The author may want to express that to be happier, that is, to get free costs you some difficulties.
They are very interesting. By expressing indirectly not directly, we can think more deeply and enjoy well. Also, it is a good oint to leave the massages of freedom on the yellow wallpaper. This helps us enjoy this story.
In fact, we didn't have enough time to discuss about this story in details in last class. So I don't have good ideas to write on this blog. But I found it interesting to have our own different views separately. A student (I'm sorry, I don't know his name.) said that he thought that a woman in this story couldn't walk by herself. He thought in that way looking at the line"carried me[a woman] upstairs and laid me [a woman] on the bed."( GILMAN 69)
I have not thought the line in that way, so it was a new thing and interesting. But, rather than that, I felt interested in that we have different views and the understanding of the lines differ from people to people. I really felt that sharing opinion is interestiong and helps us expand our horizon.

New thing 2
I did part time job today for the first time. I have never worked before, so I was so nervous.
My work is cashier at a supermarket. My house stands near that and it takes me only two minutes to go to there. I can go back soon even if I work until late. So I wanted to work at that place by all means.
When I was adopted as a worker, I was so glad and felt easy. That was because I thought that I wouldn't be adopted. When I called the market to make an appointment of an interview, I was asked how often I could work and I answered that I could work on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then, he said to me, "Huh? On weekdays, couldn't you work only Wednesday and Friday? Couldn't you work more?" I was worried to hear that and I felt that I wouldn't be able to work at this supermarket. But I was permitted to do interview for the time being. I waited the interview day wondering and feeling uneasy for one week. At last, the day came. It was rainy. I felt depressed because of the rain and nervous. I tend to feel nervous easily and, of course, I became tense on that day. The interviewer was friendly but overpowering. He asked me a lot of questions. I felt uneasy and upset when he spoke to me roughly. That was because I used to being treated gently by seniors at clubs and circles. So, I was worried. I said to myself, "This means going out into the world. This is the society of works and adults. Now, I can't depend on something. I have to throw away immature thoughts. I have to be independent from supports and to be a strong person." I was worried throughout the interview. But I could get something good and study a part of society, so I thought that I didn't care the result of this interview.
One week later, I received a call from the supermarket. They said that I was adopted and I started working on 4 June. I felt happy and worried at the same time. I have thought that I wouldn't be adopted, so I upset. In fact, I didn't want to work at the supermarket because I realized that they were strict to workers and I had to have enough skills. But fortunately, I became the worker, I decided to do my best. And I hoped that the works help me be an useful worker in the future.
And today, I worked for the first time. It was interesting as I thought, and also, the manager was strict as I thought. But, at the same time, I found that this market was worth working even if I didn't get any money. I felt that I will be able to get a lot of skills and improve my ability. When I enter employment, this work will help me. They will be useful.
There are a lot of things that workers have to remember and pay attention. A cashier is a worker of serving, so we have to think of customers seriously and carefully. The manager told me, "Customers are always watching us. They watches our behavior and attitudes closely. They want to be treated gently and equally. If they feel that they are treated roughly, they won't come to this supermarket. The most important thing is to get customers who come to this market many times. These people like our atmosphere and services and they always come to this market even if the prices of goods are higher than other markets. So, you should keep in mind that in serving business, the most important thing is that you treat customers with sincerity." I was impressed to hear that. In fact, I had no confidence to do this. But I came to want to try. Maybe, it will so hard to manage everything(study and club activities . . .). But I found that this work is worth working and will improve my skills. So I want to hold out and never give up!

New Thing
These days, I enjoy my school life very much, especially club activity. As I wrote before, I am belong to sokyoku club( Japanese music club). I play koto in this club. I started playing it in this university. I really enjoy practicing it. I played some instruments in junior high and high school. But they were Western instruments and this is my first time to do Japanese music. All things are new for me, so I am excited every day. It was right decision to enter this club.
In fact, I thought that I wouldn't enter this club. I have wanted to play Japanese instruments from long time before, but I felt that the atmosphere of this club didn't match my character when I visited this club on Freshman Week. Seniors were not kind and sociable, and the freshmen of this club looked putting on airs. I thought that I wouldn't be able to make any friends.
But I wanted to try new things and expand my horizon. I wanted to meet a lot of people and learn many new things. So, I decided to enter this club.
I want to thank to a senior for good care. I said that many seniors were not kind just now, but there were some seniors who took care of freshmen gently. I am one of the freshmen who was helped to decide their entry. I met him for the first time on Freshman Week and after that, I began to consult with him about the club. When I was in trouble to decide whether I entered or not, he always heard my worries and gave me some advice. He was a good senior. It is not too much to say that I entered this club because he was kind and good senior. I won't tell my gratitude for him to him, and besides that, he may think of me just a junior. But I personally think that he is especially a good senior and respect him secretly. The best thing is that I enjoy this club from the bottom of my heart now. His personality might lead me to enter this club, but the reason of my entry has changed. I come to love this club really. I love my mates and koto now. I made a right decision and I am glad to experience a lot of things. I have a concert on 3 July and I am looking forward to play with seniors. He usually plays the another instrument, but he plays koto with freshmen now. So, I want to practice with them and become closer.
I started this instrument in this university, so I have to make a lot of effort in practice. Actually, I practice hard every active day and sometimes go to practice willingly. Today, I went to practice with some mates. The other day, my teacher said to me, "You have a good sense, and I'm looking forward your growing skills after this." Also, yesterday, the another teacher said to me, "Your tone color is beautiful." Honestly, I was so glad to hear that. I was really happy. But, at the same time, the uncertain thought occurred to me. I couldn't believe their words entirely. In junior high and high school, my teacher wouldn't praise us. So I felt uneasy to hear their words. I had no confidence to fulfill their expectations There was a dilemma in my heart - happy and uncertainty. I want to believe their words and to be pleased. But I tend to feel so happy that L relay my efforts when I am praised. So, I don't believe my good reputation as much as I can do and make myself think that I have to practice hard still more. . . . In fact, I am so glad to be expected. I hope that the expectation will encourage me to improve my skills more.
Anyway, I like sokyoku club and enjoy it these days. Of course, it is hard for me to do well all things - sokyoku club, E.S.S., part time job and study. But I can meet and find something new every day and learn a lot of things from that. I like talking with mates and extend the circle of them. The day before yesterday, I ate lunch with all mates of sokyoku freshmen at 3 building cafe. Yesterday, I ate lunch with some mates at SUBWAY. We enjoyed talking with each other. There are many people who have strong characteristics. At first, I didn't like that. But now, I like the variety of them and find that they are interesting.
I hope that this enjoyment will last after this and live a satisfied university life with nice mates in this club.

Individuality - to be myself
These days, I don't have good topics to write on my blog. So, I want to write self-introduction again. There is a little difference between this time and the last time. This time, I want to write about my characteristic. I am often said that I am a unique human. And I often think that I tend to think about something from the view which are different from other person. But I don't know whether this means good or bad. I hope that this is a good thing. Anyway, I introduce what makes me original.
※ I am always ordinary people in front of friends who doesn't have close relation with me. So I want to introduce myself to you who are not familiar with me.
-paintings and designs
I have liked drawing a picture and looking at pictures since I was young. When I was a kindergarten student, I was always painting and running(I was good at sports at that time!). I was unsociable and poor at making friends. But I liked working alone and I often succeeded in painting and handicraft classes (and running and swimming classes). My painting was sent to an exhibition and I got a prize. But the exhibition was hold by a city and the prize was not so valuable. . . But I was good at paintings and I liked them. In an elementary school and a junior high school, my painting was selected as the exhibit by school every year too. and I often got an award. My grade of an art class in junior high school was always 5 (There were five steps of rate) in whole three years. But I became busy because of club activity. I was greatly interested in music and I didn't have enough time for painting. In fact, I wanted to go to art school instead of studying English Literature. But I didn't have good talent of art, and also, I had to think of obtaining a job. So I gave up my dream. But I like paintings(drawing and looking at) as a hobby now. I want to deepen my skills.
-a pencil
I like pencils. I like writing in pencil. They are very flexible. You can change the depth of colors and touches from lightly to heavily or delicately to roughly. But you can't this if you use a propelling pencil. There may be two reasons why I like using a pencil. As I wrote above, I like pictures(paintings and sketches) and I used to using pencils. So I like the touches and function of them. Also, I was belong to music club in junior high and high school and my music teacher taught us a lot of things. When you take notes on a page of music you should use a pencil. Writing in pencil is easier to write in again and again than using a propelling pencil. You will feel comfortable to use a pencil.
-ignorance of geography(a lack of common)
I don't want to show my foolishness. But this is actually the part of the symbol of being myself. I'm not interested in geographical features at all. So I can't keep in mind which country is there and where it is. I can't tell you every part of Japan. I feel ashamed. But I can't remember.
The other day, something ashamed happened to me. When I was asked what langage is spoken in Canada, I answered that it was Canadian. I didn't know. I was laghed at and felt ashamed. I thought that I was not a university student, was a elementary student. I was ashamed of myself and depressed. I want to and have to acquire an education.
. . . . . Would you understand my character? I will be glad if you get something about me.
In fact, having some features which makes me original, there are vague things in my character. I don't have something that I am longing for. I don't have anything that makes me devote myself to. I can't find what I really want to do. This is my falt. I have many favorite things. But I like them equally and I can't say that I like it from the bottom of my heart. I want to get something that I really like and add it to my character.

But you can't this if you use a propelling pencil. There may be two reasons why I like using a pencil. As I wrote above, I like pictures(paintings and sketches) and I used to using pencils. So I like the touches and function of them. Also, I was belong to music club in junior high and high school and my music teacher taught us a lot of things. When you take notes on a page of music you should use a pencil. Writing in pencil is easier to write in again and again than using a propelling pencil. You will feel comfortable to use a pencil.
-ignorance of geography(a lack of common)
I don't want to show my foolishness. But this is actually the part of the symbol of being myself. I'm not interested in geographical features at all. So I can't keep in mind which country is there and where it is. I can't tell you every part of Japan. I feel ashamed. But I can't remember.
The other day, something ashamed happened to me. When I was asked what langage is spoken in Canada, I answered that it was Canadian. I didn't know. I was laghed at and felt ashamed. I thought that I was not a university student, was a elementary student. I was ashamed of myself and depressed. I want to and have to acquire an education.
. . . . . Would you understand my character? I will be glad if you get something about me.
In fact, having some features which makes me original, there are vague things in my character. I don't have something that I am longing for. I don't have anything that makes me devote myself to. I can't find what I really want to do. This is my falt. I have many favorite things. But I like them equally and I can't say that I like it from the bottom of my heart. I want to get something that I really like and add it to my character.

My Real Feeling
About one month has passed since I entered this university. Sophia University was my first choice of school. I wanted to enter this school by all means, so I made a lot of effort to pass the exam. And I became a student of this university actually. I was so glad to success in the examination, and I had many hope for my university life. I waited the day of entrance ceremony with joyful expectation.
Now, am I doing what I wanted to do? Will I do what I wanted to do in the future? Can I do what I wanted to do by my graduation from this university?
I have vague uncertainties.
I think that few people see my blog, so I want to write what I actually think of, not perfectly but as exactly as possible.
Today's blog will be dark, lifeless and uninteresting. So, please stop reading if you feel boring. I think that I get sick 五月病(May syndrome or depression). These days, I feel tired and depressed. I would be in the state of 病んでいる in Japanese(v_v). ←(Sorry, but I don't know English emoticons.) The reason that I write this gloomy blog may be that I want to express my depression and feel easy. I want to make my heart regulated.
This feeling of depression can be divided into two groups.
・from the view of physical fatigue
In this university, I am belong to two clubs - E.S.S.(English Speaking Society) and Sokyoku(koto music) club. It is hard for me to coexist club activities and study. The active days of E.S.S. are still irregular and that of Sokyoku are Monday and Thursday and sometimes Sunday. So I stay in this school until p.m. 8 almost every weekdays. And I have no holidays because of occasional club activities and homework. The homework is also hard for me. It is easy to make my homework done carelessly, bot I want to make them well-done. I am poor at studying, and it takes me a lot of time to do good homework. Also, I am poor at using time efficiently. So, I can't manage to do what I want to do and what I must do. Time just passes and I can't always get sufficient results.
・from the view of mental fatigue
First, these days, I have a lot of things that I should do. I always feel anxious whether I can finish them. I don't have enough time. I want time. I should be able to use time efficiently.
Second, I am worried because human relationships are not going well for me. I am poor at making friends and I don't like socializing with many people. I want real friends. With a few friends, it would be possible for me to enjoy my school life. In high school, I was belong to brass band club. There were many people in the club, but their characters were similar to me and I felt easy with them. In the club, I have a few friends that I enjoyed with them from bottom of my heart. I like them.
Now, I don't have such a friend in this university. I have no friend that I can feel easy with. There are many people in this university, and their characters are very different. It may be interesting to meet various people. In fact, I enjoyed the variety of people on April. But now, I am tired of them. I don't like them. I want friends who have the character similar to me.
I had a difficult problem these days although I don't write about them. I felt sad and I am disappointed now. I can't help thinking that I am a misfortune girl.
I became less energetic, but I had a joyful matter. I got a notification of appointment for a part time job. I start working on 4 June. It would be more difficult to combine school life and work. I must manage to do.
I hope that I enjoyed school life. I want to recover from this sickness soon. I won't loose my hope.

Thanks! Team OBAMA -my first speech-
I am belong to E.E.S.(English Speaking Society) in Sophia University.
And I had a recitation contest on May 7. This contest was held for freshmen for the purpose of experiencing the speech section. This circle activity is divided into four sections: speech, discussion, debate and drama. All freshmen experience all sections by summer.
I delivered the speech, under the title of "The Audacity of Hope" made by Barack Obama.
The speech that I delivered was a short version(about 600 words), But it was hard for me to memorize all phrases. This was my first time to speak English in front of a lot of people, not to mention of making a speech, I felt uncertainty at first. But, seniors gently taught me how to speak and gesture, I came to feel easy.
I have practiced this speech with seniors for two weeks. Delivering a speech was new experience to me and I learned a lot of things from this. I enjoyed practicing every time, and I would like to thank seniors for teaching me.
There were five materials that I could choose. I chose this material 'The Audacity of Hope' without careful thought. My friend asked me to practice this material together. In fact, I wanted to choose 'I have a dream'. That was because I learned about Martin Luther King in high school and became interested in him.
But, this choice was right. This material contained a lot of things that I should learn. Delivery, rhetoric, repetition and ideograph, they helped me improve my English skills. Also, the seniors of this material were very kind and earnest and the environment to study about speech was very good.
The speech "The Audacity of Hope" was made in 2004, when the Democratic National Convention was held. He delivered this speech as the Keynote Address. Although he was an unknown new face at that time, he was selected as the speaker. That was because he was a energetic young man and a fluent speaker. This speech made him well known and he began to follow the road to win the presidential election.
I was impressed to listen to his speech. His 'Delivery' and 'Rhetoric' was skillful. In this speech, there are these sentences,
"Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America - there is the United States of America."
"Tonight, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, if you feel the same hopefulness that I do, if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Main, the people will rise up, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come."
When Obama talked this sentences, the audience was excited and impressed. I hope that you listen to this speech.
I return to the subject of this contest.
After all, I could move into the final, but I couldn't get prizes. I felt disappointed not to get any prizes, but I was glad to be able to deliver my favorite speech to times.
I think that it was right to participate in this contest. I tend to feel nervous easily in front of many people, so I didn't want to deliver a speech. I didn't like speaking in front of an audience before, but now, I like delivering my opinion to people. I try to convey my opinion and everyone listen to me and tries to understand what I say. That is wonderful.
When I stood on the stage, I felt nervous a little. But, beyond that, I was excited and impressed. I enjoyed delivering a speech from bottom of my heart.
I felt disappointed not to get any prizes, so I want to challenge again at summer camp of E.S.S!

HHBB
I had a regular concert of brass band club on May 5. I was belong to this club in high school and played the trombone. We call this club HHBB(Hinodai High school Brass Band). The number of the member is about 100, and that of our grade is about 40. There are various people, and we often have different opinions. But they have strong personalities respectively, and they are very enjoyable.
The concert was supposed to be held on March 28, but postponed until May because of the big earthquake. Every year, many second-year students leave this club at this concert before becoming three-year students. And they begin to study for an exam. Most graduates participate in this concert every year. For graduates, this may be the last concert with mates in their lives. For second-year students, this may be the last concert in the best time of their lives.
Then, I want to talk about my memory of this club.
I was belong to brass band club in junior high school and played the percussion. But I was a trombone player in high school. That is because I wanted to do new things and decided to play this instrument.
It was hard for me to catch up with mates experienced in playing this instrument. Every day, I practiced hard. I wanted to be praised by seniors and play with them soon. But things wouldn't go well and I faced difficulties many times. I felt disappointed and wanted to retire. But I thought "If I left this club now, I wouldn't achieve anything in the future." So, I decided not to give up and to continue to make efforts.
In the end, on the regular concert that is first time to me, I played the first position of Romeo and Juliet with my respected senior. The melody is beautiful and powerful. And that is my favorite music filled with a lot of memories.
Then, we became second-year students and I became a leader in the trombone part.
I was happy to be a leader. My efforts were rewarded.
But, a happy thing and a bad thing occur at the same time. I had difficulty in leading others. I was often disappointed to know that I have no ability to lead them. But I was a leader and not permitted to give up. I had to keep fighting.
We had a competition in summer. We had started to practice with new students to win a gold prise since April. This was the last competition to most of the second-year students, so all of us practiced seriously without holidays.
In the end, we got a silver prise. We were sad but felt refreshed. That is because we did our best. Of course, it is disappointing for us not to win a gold prize. But the most important matter was whether we could do our best and enjoy playing or not.
I think that we learned a lot of precious things from this process. So, we need not to care about the result.
This memory of the summer is forgettable.
Time passed fast, it was the time of regular concert. This concert is hold mainly by second-year students. They think of all arrangements.
In second part of this concert, we planted to perform a play, sing a song and dance. So we made careful preparation. I made clothes for performers.
We had more work than ordinary tears because we invited a professional percussionist and borrowed expensive instruments. We were very busy in preparing for the concert, but that was very enjoyable.
The concert was a great success and we never forget this memory.
I learned a lot of things from this club and this mates. I am grateful to them.
They are valued friends. I hope that I will meet such friends in this university.

Everyone knows his name
I like drawing a picture and I'm interested in art.
These days, I like Taro Okamoto. He is well known for "a tower of the Sun(太陽の塔）".
He is not rated highly as an artist, but he gets a lot of praises as a writer.
Last month, I bought his book"Have a poison in yourself(自分の中に毒を持て)".The ideas in this book were very novel and made me interested in his life.
I want to introduce some saying and ideas of him. But I don't know the translation is correct or not.
He said "I don't care about how things come to an end. It makes your life glow to think a bad result is better and bet your life."and "It is stupid to give up your dream with a subtle thought of uncertainty. To be a real man is to put yourself into a bad situation, and fight against yourself and be the master of your own destiny. To give up your dream before you take actions is the proof that you lost your presence."
I was overwhelmed when I read this book for the first time. These ideas were completely new to me.
When he has no idea about which way he should go, he always takes a bad one. At any time, he put himself in danger and struggle hard as long as there is breath in his body.
This way of living is hard but stimulating and interesting. I always thought that the more effort you make, the better result you have. That is because I wanted to get a good result that is not a fake. But it was not a concern for him. Happy life is not necessarily a wonderful life. To live greedily means to live as a real man. It is important for him not to set a limit and to continue to make progress as a human being.
He also said "It is important to have an absolute pride, not a relative pride.You must have a pride against yourself. To have a pride against other people means that you think of yourself on the basis of them. That is not a real pride. Even if someone speak ill of you and call you a fool, feel that you are living your own life. That will be a real pride."
The word "absolute pride" is my favorite word. I often think that I am a inferior human being to my friends. And I feel disappointed. So, I struggle to be a superior person. But I can't be such a person. Then, I lose confidence in myself and feel loneliness. In the end, I have no idea about who I am.
So, this idea of him encouraged me. This gave me a way of positive thinking.
Also, I like these phrases,
" They are still eyes, even if you erase the eyes from the place where they should be. On the contrary, they become fake eyes and the presence of them stands out. The face that has no features gives me a stronger presence than the face that has a good appearance."
"It is uncertain whether you see the colors and shapes on a picture in the way that a lens of camera reflects an image of an object. You think that the objects that you see are real. But, you may see just what you want to see imaging them on your hart.
As you see, his ideas are creative. And they give you a new way of thinking that you have never thought of.
They stimulated me to live a human life.
I want to go ahead without losing my personality.

1.self-introduction
Hello! My name is Saki.
This is my first time to write a blog.
I am poor at writing a composition. So, I must make a lot of efforts to improve my skill of writing. I want to make use of this homework to achieve this aim.
I like playing the piano, listening to music, looking at pictures, reading books, taking a walk, sleeping and eating!
I like Disney movies. I especially like Toy Story series. The reason why I like it is that everything in these movies(songs, pictures, stories, and voices of actors)is attractive. I think that Toy Story series is greatest movies in Disney movies.
Toy Story 2 is known to the songs used in this movie. I like "Woody's Roundup". This song is cheerful and happy. This song always makes me pleased. Also, I like "When Somebody Loved Me". This song is emotional and beautiful. The voice of the singer brings me a feel of nostalgia.
I hope you will listen to these songs.
Toy Story 3 is known to the beauty of pictures. The progress of technology brought the reality of an image. Everything(toys, people, furniture, and scenery)looks real. The image of this movie is so real that we can read subtle changes of their emotions by watching faces of characters.
I am sad because Toy Story 3 is the final of this series. But, the way of ending this series is perfect, and I am happy.
I live in Tokyo. Everyone may think that Tokyo is gorgeous. But, the area where I live is the country. There are a lot of nature.
My house stands near a bank. And many cherry trees are planted. They are very beautiful. I always walk along this bank when I go to school. They make me feel refreshed and happy.
It takes me a lot of time to go to Sophia University. But, I am glad to live in this comfortable area. I want my friends of university to come to my house and look at this beautiful scenery.
I want to write about my family.
I have a big brother and a big sister. I am the youngest child.
His name is 雄大(yuta), her name is あすみ(asumi), and my name is 咲(saki). The structure of our names are different from each other. His name(雄大)consists of two Chinese characters. Her name(あすみ)consists of three hiragana. My name consists of a Chinese character. We don't share a common feature of a first name.
His hobby is driving a car, playing video games , and watching TV. Her hobby is reading comic books, PC, and shopping. My hobby is playing the piano, listening to music, and drawing a picture. We don't share a common feature of hobby.
He likes eating chicken,pork, and beef.She likes eating cabbage, carrots,and eggplants. I like eating cakes, cookies, and chocolates.
He majors in physical science. She majors in information science. I major in English literature.
He gets up early. She gets up lately.I get up at good time. , , ,
We don't share a common feature at all !
In fact, we are on bad terms with each other. In our childhood, we often had a quarrel. Even now, we sometimes have a quarrel. I assume that our bad terms are due to differences of our personality. We don't agree about everything because we don't share a common opinion.
But, the difference of personality sometimes brings a profit to us.
My brother, who are poor at putting my mother into a good mood, are good at driving. He often helps us go shopping.
My sister, who are poor at driving, are familiar with machinery. She often gives us some advice when home appliances are broken and we don't know what to do.
I, who know nothing about machinery, are good at putting my mother into a good mood.I often help him and her be on good terms with my mother.
The difference of personality makes our lives comfortable.
If there are a lot of people, there are a lot of personalities and opinions. That don't necessarily means that they don't agree about everything. It is possible for us t change the difference into a profit.
I hope that we(my brother,my sister and I)keep this good relationship forever.
I feel easy to make this first blog finished. But, I had difficulty in making compositions and it took me a lot of time to write a blog.
I want to be able to write good essays much faster!
This is my first time to write a blog.

Toy Story 2 is known to the songs used in this movie. I like "Woody's Roundup". This song is cheerful and happy. This song always makes me pleased. Also, I like "When Somebody Loved Me". This song is emotional and beautiful. The voice of the singer brings me a feel of nostalgia.
I hope you will listen to these songs.
Toy Story 3 is known to the beauty of pictures. The progress of technology brought the reality of an image. Everything(toys, people, furniture, and scenery)looks real. The image of this movie is so real that we can read subtle changes of their emotions by watching faces of characters.
I am sad because Toy Story 3 is the final of this series. But, the way of ending this series is perfect, and I am happy.
I live in Tokyo. Everyone may think that Tokyo is gorgeous. But, the area where I live is the country. There are a lot of nature.
My house stands near a bank. And many cherry trees are planted. They are very beautiful. I always walk along this bank when I go to school. They make me feel refreshed and happy.
It takes me a lot of time to go to Sophia University. But, I am glad to live in this comfortable area. I want my friends of university to come to my house and look at this beautiful scenery.
I want to write about my family.
I have a big brother and a big sister. I am the youngest child.
His name is 雄大(yuta), her name is あすみ(asumi), and my name is 咲(saki). The structure of our names are different from each other. His name(雄大)consists of two Chinese characters. Her name(あすみ)consists of three hiragana. My name consists of a Chinese character. We don't share a common feature of a first name.
His hobby is driving a car, playing video games , and watching TV. Her hobby is reading comic books, PC, and shopping. My hobby is playing the piano, listening to music, and drawing a picture. We don't share a common feature of hobby.
He likes eating chicken,pork, and beef.She likes eating cabbage, carrots,and eggplants. I like eating cakes, cookies, and chocolates.
He majors in physical science. She majors in information science. I major in English literature.
He gets up early. She gets up lately.I get up at good time. , , ,
We don't share a common feature at all !
In fact, we are on bad terms with each other. In our childhood, we often had a quarrel. Even now, we sometimes have a quarrel. I assume that our bad terms are due to differences of our personality. We don't agree about everything because we don't share a common opinion.
But, the difference of personality sometimes brings a profit to us.
My brother, who are poor at putting my mother into a good mood, are good at driving. He often helps us go shopping.
My sister, who are poor at driving, are familiar with machinery. She often gives us some advice when home appliances are broken and we don't know what to do.
I, who know nothing about machinery, are good at putting my mother into a good mood.I often help him and her be on good terms with my mother.
The difference of personality makes our lives comfortable.
If there are a lot of people, there are a lot of personalities and opinions. That don't necessarily means that they don't agree about everything. It is possible for us t change the difference into a profit.
I hope that we(my brother,my sister and I)keep this good relationship forever.
I feel easy to make this first blog finished. But, I had difficulty in making compositions and it took me a lot of time to write a blog.
I want to be able to write good essays much faster!
