Finishing the fall quarter!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I did it!!

Today I finished my last final(Microeconomics, it was a quite loooong and 3hours exam) and my first quarter in Davis has already finished. Sooooooooo hard and last two weeks I could not understand what was going on. I mean, I had tons of things to do(Homeworks, preparation for finals and essay etc...) ,could not sleep, my body was really painful and so on.
I wish I could study more and more in Iwate and Tsukuba but regret always comes after, you know. This time, I just concentrated math and micro. These classes were so helpful for me to understand many topics and I'm getting to understand many things which I could not understand in Japan. So it was tremendously hard but I really enjoyed to learn.
I just studied a lot and don't know it's good or not but my friends call me "President of the library"..... In my case, I knew I should spend most of my time for study otherwise I could not finish my homework.

Actually, at the first 4 month I could not manage myself. I failed English exams when I took beginning of this quarter, so I was required to take English writing classes. Also sometimes I totally lost my way during economics and math classes. These things made me disappointed a lot and I lost my confidence, because all things which I had done in Japan seemed like unuseful and half-baked.

However, I have a lot of nice friends, instructers and TAs, like when I was in Japan. They helped and encouraged me a lot and gave me right directions to get some points.

I really enjoy my life in Davis and want to say THANK YOU for all who lives in Japan and helped me a lot to come to the U.S. I've always surrounded by many nice friends and instructers, yes, I'm really appreciated the people around me!!!!

Anyway, next quarter is going to start from Jan. 2nd and gonna be harder than this time, Micro(Game Theory, but the instructer is the best one in the Agecon and everyone is looking forward to taking his class.), econometrics, linear programming, agriculture in CA, two english. I will post some reading lists and books which I used in classes later.

Before winter quarter, I need to take a break. So I'm going to Halifax in Canada from tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Of course I will go to San Francisco, coz I've never been there even if it takes only 1 hour from Davis.

I believe I can manage myself during next quarter too and do believe I can obtain my next goal.

So, see you in 2007 and I hope all of you have a nice holiday.

Best
