I can't believe that one year will have passed since I entered this university. The examination day of English Literature Department was held on 6 February and I studied hard to pass this exam. I really made a lot of efforts in studying and completely did my best on the examination. Fortunately or necessarily I don't know, but my dream to study English at Sophia University realized and I really appreciated my efforts. I got a good lesson from examinations and I'm convinced now that efforts will surely bear fruits and what I do now is connecting with the future. I am really lucky to lean important things.
Every time I did my best when I was a high school student. I did what I loved like club activities with great efforts and did even what I didn't want to with efforts because I believed that everything has meaning that to be done and I can get good lessons from them. But now do I do my best? I can answer this question easily, NOT! I don't make efforts these days especially in studying.
I'm sure that my English Skills are improved but not greatly, and the rate of growing is apparently worse than that in preparing examinations. I don't study hard now and do what I want to. So my skills are not greatly improved. But in Writing Skill, I think that I could fairly improve it. In my high school there is no class to study writing, and I just learned reading and English grammar. So I couldn't write long English sentences and could write a few sentences. But now I can write this blog that consists of about 500 words in 30 minutes although my English is not so good. Anyway I became a better writer and I have a little confidence in myself that I can write essays in English (again, I don't know how good and bad my skill is!)
In Speaking Class, my teacher said to me that I speak English very well but you have some room for improving. Of course I know that I don't have enough skill to use English naturally and fluently at all, but I am happy to know that my teacher understand my efforts and value it. I noticed again that I can improve my English Skills more and should do my best in it. Although I am still not good at English I am happy because there still are some room for improving. I expect that I will use English naturally in the future.
To improve my English I want to watch English movies and novels. After tests are finished I have long spring vacation and much time to do what I want to. In summer vacation I decided that I would read many English Books and I bought some novels too. But I was busy to do a part time job and club activities, and finally I couldn't read them. So I have many books to read even I won't buy now one. And also I want to read Japanese novels because these days I often notice that I am poor at Japanese expressions. I don't have enough Japanese vocabularies and I sometimes have difficulties in translating English into Japanese in Reading Class. And I have an interest in translating and use of words expressions, so I have to study hard Japanese too.
I have a lot of things to do! I want to do my best next year. Maybe I should do my best in the autumn semester tests and reports first :-(
Thank you Writing Skills Class!

A Happy New Year!!
Time fly fast and 2012 has come! I hope you all have a good year.
Last year became the important turn of my life. Through the year I have experienced a lot of things that I have not experienced ever before, and I learned various things. I entered new world and gained new ideas. So, I last year would be a important turn of my life and have a good influence through my life.
In this year there were many remarkable events, first is "university." I entered this university with a lot of efforts. I didn't expect that I could pass the exam because I was not wise enough and I always got D grade of the possibility of passing the exam. I knew that I couldn't pass and I didn't expect a lot. But I wanted to study in this university and had a great passion to pass my campus life there, so I decided to study hard and never to give up. I did my best through the preparing times and fortunately passed the exam, and now I am a Sophia university student. I learned that efforts always bear fruits, the more efforts you make the better results you have. I actually learned this with my experience and this became a lesson in my life. I am proud of myself to have made a lot of efforts and done my best and succeeded in the examination. I didn't like myself and didn't confidence in myself before, but these experience made me content with myself and made it possible to live my better life. I appreciate it to myself. I am convinced that these things were great things in my life and I wouldn't pass a good campus life if I haven't experienced these things.
In this university I met a lot of people and saw various world. I belong to sokyoku club and E.S.S. circle, both are not for enjoyment and the activities are not easy. The members all are earnest and they and, of course, I do our best. There are some differences in these two clubs and I feel different atmosphere in both clubs although both have the common things. I enjoyed both clubs to be able to experience new things in both. But sometimes it was hard for me to be in there. The atmosphere didn't mutch me and I couldn't find a good friend. I thought that I ought to leave this club/circle. Now I can't decide whether I leave or not still, but I'm sure that I had experienced good things and they enabled me to see various world and think things from various sides. I don't regret belonging to a club/circle(I don't tell you which club I want to leave) and I appreciate being able to have experienced good things to all the members.
The other remarkable experience is a part time job.(Maybe, I shouldn't say that is a "experience" because now I still keep that job) I had not done any part time job until I entered university. So this is the first time for me to do a job. I didn't have a clear idea what kind job I want to take. And eventually I chose a supermarket because that was so near to my house. Fortunatelly I passed the interview and started the job in June. At first time, that was so hard and sometimes I wanted to quit. Besides that it was so difficult to coexist a part time job, studying, club and circle, and I didn't have my leisure time. But I managed them and I could reach summer vacation peacefully. Now I am still busy as before but I enjoy this life.
I still have other things I want to tell you but I keep them just stay in my heart.
These days I lost the passion to do my best and I can't make efforts in studying. I should get it back and study hard to get a good grade....although I haven't finished writing homework yet :-(
I hope I have a good year!

Wonderful Memory
We sokyoku club had a concert on 17 December. It is held every year and is the biggest and most important concert in all concerts we have. We have practiced hard since spring for this concert. All seniors leave this club on this concert, so this is important concert not for seniors but also for the rest of us, and we want to make a great concert together.
For freshmen this concert is the first time to play the instruments in front of many people. So it was hard to imagine how the concert would be and how to manage this. We had to make up our hair set and wear kimono and had some jobs individually. I had to work as a manager of the stage, the work is carrying the instruments, putting them in order and waiting at the back of the stage to help if there wold be troubles. I appeared on the stage and played only two times in 2 hours and a half but I didn't have rest time. I had to pay attention to everything every time, so I became tired. .......But it was fun. I enjoyed this concert a lot and I became convinced again that I loved this club and this would give me good memories.
The morning, I got up at 5 o'clock to have my hair made up by a hairdresser. It was hard for me to get up early and because I worked at a supermarket the day before until 10:30 p.m. But I tried to go to bet early and did my best and I could get up at 5 o'clock. The hairdresser was so kind that I didn't pay the extra money (early morning money?) and his treat was great. This encouraged me and I got good motivation. It became a nice morning. And I arrived Suitengumae station and went to Nihonkokaido. There we started arranging the hall and had the rehearsal. We did the rehearsal with wearing kimono, so we could know how it would be to play koto on the stage with kimono. We didn't know that because we freashmen haven't participate in any concerts and don't practice the koto wearing kimono ordinarily. So we appreciated the rehearsal.
And we continued that and preparing the concert. We worked hard so I felt a little tired before the concert began. The opening was approaching. I thought that I would feel my heart beating fast.... BUT actually I didn't feel tense, I became exciting. The time that I play came and I felt a little nervous, and at the same time I felt pleasant. It was exciting and I enjoyed it. Actually I mad a little mistake but I did my best, WE DID OUR BEST ant the playing was so good. Our hearts were one. I enjoyed this, we enjoyed this. On the stage, the lights were hot and I felt a little unconfortable to get the lights and feel hot, but that gave me the motivation and made me exciting. I enjoyed it a lot.
And the closing came, we all were satisfied with the our works, our plays, and ourselves. We were proud of ourselves because we did our bests and succeeded. We noticed again that we love this club and we love the mates in this club. I love them and I want to do my best any time in this club.
