Asakusa

Today, I went to Asakusa to meet my mentor. I've never met her before. She is a Ph. D student at Davis and helped me a lot, like looking for an apartment and sent me a lot of information. So, I was so happy to meet her today. I asked some questions about study and life there.

Littler bit worried but much more excited.

Anyway, I have to clean up my office until tommorrow...

My last day...

Yesterday, I went out for drink with my teachers. I ate a lot of delicious foods, beer and Sake.
They encouraged me. Thanks a lot!! Yes, I will promise to make a reading list in this blog.

Today, I went out for lunch with my econometrics teacher and friend. He studied at Wisconsin to get the Ph.D and I took his classes all the year round. He gave me some advice, like notkeeping the house and going out, starting your assightment when you receive it. When he stayed there, he did a lot of sports. I don't know why he could play so many kinds of sports not only study.
So, he also advised me to play some sports. Now I don't know I can play sports there, coz I'm eorried about my study. However I want to, so I'll try to manage it.

Oh, today is my last English lesson. I have studied there more than one year and really like the staff. They are kind and very lusty. And very respected teachers. They helped me a lot when I wrote my essay and application forms to Davis and Santa Barbara. Also, when I faced some problems and felt serious, they listened to me and gave some useful advices. If I could not meet them, I can't get this chane to go to the US. So, thank you so much!! Please look forward to meeting me again. I keep good my promise.

There is nothing more valuable than good health!

Yesterday, I went to the dentist and ophthalmology to check my health.

First, I reserved the dentist and then went to the ophthalmology to buy contact lenses. Usually I use one-day disposable contact lens. It' s so easy to take care and clean. But the cost is little bit expensive for me, so I wanted to one-month disposable contact lens. However I bought a year's worth of one-day disposable contact lens . Coz including meintanance product for one-month contact lens, the cost of it is as same as one-day! The doctor also told me that he was afraid if the one-month lens was not adapted.

Then I went to the dentist again. I go to the dentist once a half year to check and clean my teeth.
Also removing plaque. That's so fun!! I had a really little cavity so treated it. I will go there two more again to remiving plaque. Yes, I found two withdom teeth! I hope that they don't hurt me....

Going dentist and ophthalmology are so fun, aren't they? I really likes it. But, I hate otolaryngolog. Yuck!!!

Gosh!

What rotten luck! I've had a few troubles since tomorrow.

First, my PC was broken and didn't work at all on 13th. It's bright new one, I bought it only two months ago. I tried to operate by myself, but..... So I brought it to the electrical store near Tsukuba center.

Again a problem againsted me. I had got a flat tire. This was not the big deal, coz there is the bike shop near my house. However it was closed on such a day.... So I had to go to another one which is little bit far from my house and devious. Today is so humid, isn't it? Only to do these things made me so exhausted.

Oh, yes, one more. This morning, I had to call for Davis because of my tuition payment. But couldn't use my PC, forgetting the number and flatter tire, I shuttled between my house and school twice on foot this morning.

These things don't seem big deals. But for me, I have little energy left to prepare for my seminar. And my PC will be back on 28th, it's the day befor moving to Narita!!

I hope it comes to my hands on time.

Thanks again!!!

皆から頂いた色紙＆サングラスです♪


いやはや、今日はテンション高いので日本語で失礼します！！

岩手大学地域マネジメント学講座の皆さま、本日おがっちょより色紙＆プレゼントを頂きました！！
全く予想していなかった出来事で、本当に本当に嬉しかったです。

最近、渡米前の不安からなのか鬱々とした気分でしたが、一発解消。
ちょうど、２日前にも卒業時に皆から頂いた色紙を読み返し、気持ちを新たにしてました。

がぁ～、嬉しいよ。

本当に、みんなの気持ちに感謝です。
みんなも健康に気をつけて、充実した１年を過ごしてね。


I can't believe it!!!
Thank you so much for my friends at Iwate Univ.
Today I received your present and messages.
Again thank you and see you again!!

Thanks for all!!!

Oops, I did it again. I ate sooooooooo much last night.

Yesterday, my senior at university held a send-off party for me. First, we went to an all-you-can-eat mutton barbecue restaurant. We spent great time in a beer garden.

Then again, we went to an all-you-can-eat sweets cafe in Ginza. There were many kinds of sweets and some drinks and we could stay there only 80min. So I ate as much as I could. But, because of so much mutton, there was not enough space for dessert.

Enough about that, I want to say thank you for all member who attended yesterday!!! Not only for the member yesterday, but also for all people who concerns me.

You always help me a lot and give me useful advice. Without your help, I cannot make it this far.

Just want to say thank you so much for all.

I extend to you all good fortune and happiness for the future.

Coming of July.

Today is 4th of July. Time passes so early, doesn't it??? Time flies like an arrow....

I was really excited to go to the US so far. However these days I cannot explain my own feelings.... Excited and wobble, two feelings are mixtured.

To move here, I threw out recycled waste-paper yesterday. My room seems desolate a little. When I moved from Iwate, I didn't feel like such feelings.

Anyway, I have to mind my own business.
