FMP

The class was over! And I don't have to go to the university for about a week because of the Golden Week holidays.

Anyway, on Fridays I have two classes, the History of American Literature and the Study of William Shakespeare.

The professor of the former class is....just I think he is mad or idiot. At the beginning of the lecture, he opened a can of Dr Pepper. And he gave a lecture with sipping it. And he....I don't know why he did such a thing, but....what he did is to put his highlighter in his mouth while he gave us some handouts.

Is that a kind of American joke? (・ω・;)

FMP

Apologize my late updating. Now I'm quite busy on my study and work. Perhaps, I think it difficult to have enough time to write articles constantly ever before and after too. So I decided to write two types of article.

One is the usual blog like a diary with a little long sentence. In this case, I will update it from my PC.

The other is a murmur style, which I write what I'm doing and feeling from my mobile phone. So the sentences must be shorter than usual. I always set the title'FMP(=from mobile phone)'in this case.

And if you want to read my blog on the mobile phone, please go on the URL below.

Turn Over A New Leaf

Most of cherry blossoms have already fallen. And the buds of trees are beggining to open up. All of the people have started their new lives in Spring; many of my friends have started to work, many of my students have started their new school lives, and I also have started my new life from this month. Today I'm going to talk about myself a little.



Well then, I don't have to tell you about what my name is, where I lives in, or what sports I like to play. Just I tell you about my background.

I was born on 25th of February, 1988. And I entered Nakacho elementary school, Tokiwa junior high school, Chuo Univ Suginami high school, and Chuo Univ. And last month I graduated in Law and politics. Although I graduated from university, I had decided to stay one more year and take some English classes......Most of you might have a question, 'Why?'

When I was a high school student, I didn't think of my future at all. Basketball was everything to me at that time. And what is worse, we had no entrance exam so I didn't think what I really want to do at University. If you hear the name of Chuo University, which faculty comes to your mind? Your answer is absolutely 'Law'. That thought also came to my mind and I chose one.

But after entering Law faculty, the classes were so boring to me. When I was a sophomore, my friend and I decided to take part in the studying English abroad program which our university organised. Through that experience, I noticed that what I really like to study was English. And at that time, in addition, I really enjoyed my part-time job, teaching at the cram school. To sum up with those, and thinking about my future, I realised that I had wanted to be an English teacher after my graduation.

Then I decided to get a teaching certificate from the junior. On the other hand, there is one more problem I had. Students in Law faculty can get only social studies teaching certificate, not English. So I needed to graduate in Law at first to become an English teacher. That graduation was on 25th March, 2010, which I told you through this blog.


Sorry to talk a little longer...(^o^;) Well, from this month, I go to my university and take some classes to get English teaching certificate, not as a student in Law faculty but as an auditor. I'm not a member of University and not a member of society.

I have to study more and more to make my dream come true.
From my fail, I want to advise you,
"Think about your future seriously, and you can enjoy studying at your school."

This Spring

I have no work on Sunday and Monday. But from today I have 3 English classes at my university, so it's not a break today...(oops, I told you that I had already graduated in Law and Politics, but I decided to stay one more year to study English as an auditor. Well, I'll tell you about myself in detail later.)

Anyway, don't you think it's too cold today? There was a sudden drop in temperature and most of cherry blossom have fallen from the trees because of the rain. So pity. Spring is passing soon. I like sakura season and as usual I took a walk about to see cherry blossoms this year. From Musashi-Urawa station to Besshonuma Park, we can walk through the avenue of cherry blossoms like this.

I'm very fond of walking through there in a warm temperature like yesterday. If you want to see more sakura photos, go to http://www.geocities.jp/megasan2001/urawa/urawa063d.htm.

And I can feel spring at home, too.


Every year Japanese bush warbler (Uguisu) comes to my garden in the morning. I got up with the sound of bush warbler yesterday morning.


In front of my doorstep, we can see some white dandelions. When I was a junior high school student, I found them on my home from school. I waited and waited until the blossoms became down, and I brought the seeds to my house. Next year they came up successfully. Here is the photo I took yesterday. Have you ever seen white dandelions?

Well then, all of you have started your new lives now. How was your spring this year? Did you enjoy?? (*^o^*) I really want to see and talk to you again. Take care of your health!!

March 15th

I've already told you that there were several special events in March. This time I'd like to tell about this place. Can you guess where?



......Yes, as you know, this was my very first time to visit Tokyo Disney Sea. The last time I went to Disney is when I was a high school student. One of my friends, who was taken in some photos of my Egypt tour, lives in by the Disney Land. Just before our high school graduation, some of my friends and I went to Tokyo Disney Land after school, stayed at my friend's house after that, and went back to my house next day. I strongly remember this day because there were fewer people than I had experienced ever before. We could ride every attraction within 5 minutes at least, and in particular, we could ride Space Mountain 5 times in a row without waiting for it.

I was so excited because the chance to go to Disney came unexpectedly after an interval of four years. Mr. Segawa, one of my friends and coworkers too, is familiar with Disney. So I followed him all. Here are Mr. Segawa's tour, our footprints.

・Storm Rider
・Sebastian's Calypso Kitchen
・Mermaid Lagoon Theater
・The Magic Lamp Theater
・Indiana Jones Adventure
・Mystic Rhythms
・20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
・The Legend of Mythica
・Delancey Catering
・Raging Spirits
・Turtle Talk
・Nautilus Galley
・My Friend Duffy
・Tower of Terror


What a nice place! I felt sorry that we couldn't ride Journey to the Center of the Earth, but it seems as if we were in a dream. ヽ(´▽`)/


So crowded that we could only ride Indiana Jones and Raising Spirits by using a fast pass. We had to wait for Tower of Terror standing in a long line for 160 minutes. But that waiting time was also a kind of joy for me. And I thought if I had a girlfriend, I could have enjoyed more and more...

Graduation

Yesterday I graduated in law and politics from my university.

Here are the photos.

My basketball circle Penetrate members. From the left; Jun-chan(F), Take(PG), Sho-chan(SG), Abe-chan(PF)

And Satoshi(PG) making a V-sign next to me is the best friend in my circle. He is from Okinawa and Jun-chan too.

The boy wearing a white hakama(long pleated culotte-like Japanese trousers) is Maru. He's from the same high school and was a captain of our basketball club. I introduced him on the former article in my blog. Have a look at the article "Love Basketball."

These five boys belong to my seminar. I don't like my seminar because of our crazy professor and content, but the memory with these boys is so precious. From the left; Furuken, Yanoken, Dai-chan, Mutty, Take, Yosuke.

Here is my best professor Mike Nix. We met when I was a sophomore. He speaks high-speed British English so my listening must be trained. Next week he will go back to England as a sabbatical. If I have time, I want to visit him this summer.

Well, I don't feel so sad because I just graduated from the Faculty of Law. I need to go to the Faculty of Literature one more year and take some English classes to get the teaching certificate. So this year, in brief, I work at the cram school and go to the university. Am I a student or a member of society?(^o^;)

Anyway, most of my friends graduated from the university. I would hardly meet them unless anything special happens. I miss them. Take care and see you some day, everyone!!

Egypt Tour

I'm sorry to be late for updating my blog. And there are a lot of special events in March, so I'll tell you about them one by one.

As you know if you see this title, I went to Egypt with my friend. I stayed there for eight days including at the flight between Narita and Cairo. It was really hard to sit on my seat during the flight because it took about 14 hours, the longest flight I've ever experienced in my life.

Here are my Egypt tour schedule.

・arrive at Cairo International Airport

・visit and sightsee Alexandria

・go back to Cairo and leave for Luxor

・sightsee Luxor
・leave for Aswan and sightsee there

・leave for Abu Simbel and sightsee there

・get on a Nile express(sleeping car) for Cairo

・go to Giza and Cairo Museum

・leave for Narita

I think this is so hard for usual tourist because we visited 6 cities in 8 days.

In particular, when we go to Abu Simbel, our tour conductor called our room at 1:45 as a wake-up call, and we left our hotel at 3:00......So sleepy all we were. (≧へ≦；)

Everyone slept in a bus, but I didn't sleep.


I found the twinkle sarry sky in a dark desert.


I was so impressed and thouht that the scene of twinkle stars and the bright moon in a desert area was like a song named "Moon Desert(月の砂漠)" And of course I watched the sunrise. At that time, I could sympathize why the ancient Egyptian had believed in the power of sun.

Here is Abu Simbel. Don't you know?

This day made us so tired. But through this day, I got friends with other participants.

Look at this photo. Here is the Nile express from Abu Simbel to Cairo.

After arriving at Cairo, of course, our trip kept going. The final day, we visited pyramids in Giza. And of course we watched sphinx, and enjoyed riding camels.

Here are the photos. Oops, all we wore pink colored T-shirt because we got soooooo friendly each other and bought the same T-shirts.



There are a lot of places where we were prohibited to bring our camera. For example, we couldn't bring our camera into the Cairo Museum, in which Tutankhamen's golden mask is exhibited. You had better go to Egypt someday when you're young!!(^o^;)

It is so dirty and dusty in Egypt but there are also including a lot of mysterious monuments and romantic scenes.


If I had had a girlfriend, I could have enjoyed more and more....
