the 1st work

I taught some students on last Saturday!
I tanght three students and I will teach one student of them every Saturday.

The other stundents just asked some question about mathmatics.
At first, I was so nervous because I had never done a tutor at a plum school before.
But, once the student understood my explanation, I was proud of my explanation skill little by little. You know, I am simple...

After finishing teaching, a teacher who is professional to teach and many teachers rely him, asked me "Have you teach something before? I was surprised because your teaching is very well."
I was so happy to hear that! Actually, I taught some stundents as a teaching assistant, and a home teacher. And in using internet, I realized that I can teach students!!

To tell the truth, though I did my best, I did some mistakes. But, I want not to forget his word and try teaching more and more!!

Night at the museum

I watched the movie, "night at the museum (it named night museum in Japan)."
It was wonderful! It is the movie that I didn't think I was boring or it was strange.
Yeah, it was good movie.

I recommend you especially if you are interested in human history.
In the museum, there are many characters not only related with USA but also other countries.
There are many famous actors in the movie.
You know, Ben Stiller and Robin Williams are very famous.
Also, I sometimes see Carla Gugino (I like "Spy Kids" very much!!) and Owen Wilson.


And,Dick Van Dyke!!!!

He acted as Bert in the movie "Mary Poppins"!!! When I was a child, I loved him very very much!!!
He is now like a gentle old man!

The most interesting thing is the end of the movie.
I think same thing was happened in the reality because of this movie!! I was so surprised.

So, if you are little bit interested in the movie, check it!!

the fear of measles

About 10 days ago, some student in my university had measles.
We took the mail from a proffessor which alarm us about measles.
It said it is like a cold and if we had over 37.5 degree fever, we should go to see the doctor.

Yesterday, I had a fever. It wasn't high temperature and I thought it was because of headache.
But, some professors are natural worrier.
I mean there are big possibility that they blame me because I wasn't worried about the other students. (Many scientists are natural worriers, I think :P)

So, I went to the hospital today.
And the result was fine.
Plus, I got a rest (because, anyway, I had a fever.)!!
What a wonderful day!!!

part time job

In this year, I will have no money to do anything!!
So, I have to earn money right now even though
I have been still searching job. I will become a student worker.

Soon after I knew my situation, I took the action so quickly
that I could find my job soon.

That is web tutor.

Is it interesting, isn't it??

I was fascinated by this system.
I think I can learn not only teaching but also web communication.

have a comunication using web.
So, it is kind a practice for job.

Today, I heard the explanation of the job
and tomorrow I will learn how to use the computer.
I mean, I have to learn how to use web pen and many tools.
Also, I must understand webcam and microphone system.

Osaka vol.3 ~Kobe~

On the 3rd day, I went to Kobe!!

After finishing my presentation,
I searched the presentation schedule to find ones I wanted to see.

But, I couldn't find any one. I had already saw them.

So, I decided to go to other places!
Just sightseeing!!

After going back to the hotel, I looked a map and decided to go to Kobe.
The reasons are 1) there seem to be many kind of delicious food and
2)I haven't gone further west than Osaka before.

When I reached Kobe, I had no plan.
So, at first, I have to decide what I should do.
I walked toward the town map and suddenly decided to go to the sea!
Before reaching the sea, I thought I would see a lot of sightseeing place,
so I decided to sheer my way.
I ate tasty casual French at lunch, saw old buildings and visited
a lamp museum at which there are many beatiful old lamps.

When I reached the sea, it was rain so that there are no people.
I was so happy to have the ocean view for my own!!
And then, I went to a big shopping mall.
After taking a rest there for a while,
I returned to the station where I started to walk.

And at last, I bought a mug for a present of my friend who lives in Kyoto.

I walked for long long distance! So, I was so satisfied with the day!

Next time, I would like to talk about the last day in Osaka!

Osaka vol.2 ~IKAYAKI~

Today, I would like to talk about foods in Osaka.
It is said that Osaka is KUIDAORE city
which means you definetely fall down
because you will want to eat too much.
There are many delicious food!

For example, OKONOMIYAKI is one of the favorite food in Osaka.
Of cource, I ate it. It was so delicious!

And TAKOYAKI. I ate it after making my presentation.
It was a present for me!! It was so tasty!!!

In Tokyo, there are many okonomiyaki or takoyaki shop,
but I don't think they are deferent from Osaka's foods.
I don't know why.....
Well, as for me, I like Osaka foods better than Tokyo ones.

In this time, the most surprising and amazing food is IKAYAKI.
At first, I didn't know what ikayaki was.
When I joined a drinking party, some of members said ikayaki was so good.
I was interested in it and asked them how ikayaki like.
Their answer was "it's like crape"
"A crape with a squid????"
I couldn't imagine. But, they said
"It was soooooo delicious!! I wanna eat one more time!"

So, I decided to try it!!
Ikayaki was, well like crape!!
Inside a kind of crape dough, there are squid arm.
And after roasting, it was put some sauce and chili pepper on.
If you can't imagine, look this page
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/konamon/772483/725369/
This Ikayaki is richer than I tell you, but has same appearance.

The price of Ikayaki I ate was 100 yen!!
It was too cheap!! And delicious!!

I thought Osaka was so wonderful food city!!

Osaka vol.1 ~about my presentation~

I would like to write about the day I went to Osaka.

I went there for science conference.
This is the second time to attend that kind of conference for me, but I am little nervous, for it's the first time I made a presentation (in previous time, I did poster presentation). To matters worse, because I had been busy for job hunting, I hadn't finished my presentation yet when I reached Osaka!!

Solving this problem, I experinced which I hadn't had before.

That is "internet cafe."

You know, in Japan, the internet cafes have increased recent years. It is good for relaxing and staying. Some of them have a lot of comic books, free drink services, some free shower rooms and a nail salon. (In fact, I didn't use them except drink services) That was amazing!!

I could use microsoft powerpoint in the cafe so that I finally finish my presentation slide and make the draft. Iwas to do my presentation next day...

And the presentation day...

I had to borrow a PC for powerpoint from stuff of my research group. It was easy to get a PC so that I was so relieved. But..... My destiny didn't smile for me...

There wasn't connecter between a PC and projector!!!!

The time I was realized was almost an hours before my presentation!! I had to find a connecter!! So, I ran and ran and ran... asked and asked and asked.....
Finally, 20 minutes before my presentation, I found it..... The stuff of myresearch group had it... He forgot to give it to me and thought it was all right to tell me right before the presentation...

What a pity student I am.......

And then, my presentaion finished without any failure. I think this happening made me relaxed... You know, all's well that ends well!!


Well, next, I would like to tell you about Osaka foods!

Osaka

I go to Osaka tomorrow.
It is for my presentation at scientific meeting.
I love travel. I will enjoy there!

Well, I will go back home on Wednesday.
So, everyone, take care!!

The Da Vinci code

Recently, I didn't hace relax time so that I decided to see the movie and feel easy.
The title which I saw was "The Da Vinci code," a famous mystery movie.

I many people saw it. Did you watch it? How did you feel?
Most people didn't say it was a good movie. They said the original was better than the movie. They said it because some story wasn't same as the original. I see. I\

But, as for me, it is so interesting!! I mean that the movie is better than original!
The reason is that the story of the movie is consistent. When I read the book, I sometimes thought it was strange. For example, in the bank, the hero was a great code-breaker but he didn't realize very simple trick which was about ten digit passward. He always concidered many characters, figure, words, and histry so that he must remember the number he knew at night. In the one hand, in the books, it was too much time to solve it. On the other hand, in the movie, the hero realized it very quickly. Hmm, it was more natural.

Also, the background of characters were more explicable. For instance, in the book, the captain wasn't connected with that intrigue. But, he chaced the hero with persistence. So, we didn't understand his feeling.
In the movie, the captain was related with the organization which planed the intrigue. Of cource, he didn't know the plan. The big man of the organization told him that the hero was murderer. And then, he thought the hero was dominent crime suspect. So, you can understand what he was thinking.

I think reality is one of the most important points of movie. If the original has some contradiction, it is great to change the contents a little bit.

In most cases, the movies are worser than the original because the movie makers need to cut back the story to finish it within two or three hours. So, I think the Da Vinci code is rare good movie.

Talk with friend

To talk with friend is one of the most important task for our heart, I think.
Recently, our reseach group has difficult problem. It is about our relationship.
It is about privacy so that I don't tell you detail.
As for me, it is not so important problem because I didn't realize it before, but some of our group thought it was very serious and didn't feel good.
So, the professor apologized us.

However, he said he couldn't solve it. We were so angry and some said they would tell it a comittee of our university.

I thought it was the best way to calm them down but I didn't think it was the best way because if we tell them about it, we have to put up with the survey and some seniors couldn't study even if they have to prepare for the presentation at reseach presentation day for their graduation. Thus, I decided to say my worry to the professor.

At first, he only listen my opinion. And then, he asked me that I would be in the member of solving this problem. I thought I am not suit for this rule. Whereas, I had to do if all members couldn' t solve it. It was tough.....

Finally, our condition became a little bit good. We don't think it was finished. Maybe my opinion is not good and all member may think I am wrong. (Actually, many members said I am right. I would like to thank them.)

In this case, I conferred with my mother. She thought it with me. So, I could think about it with calm mind. Also, I whined about it to my e-pal. He was so kind and said his reseach group also has problems. After reading it, my heart was light. I thought to talk with someone is great for our relaxization and find an idea!

Rakugo

Rakugo is a style of Japanese perfome.
I think it is strange traditional style in the world because I don't know an entertainment which the performer just sits and acts as the characters and also the narrator except rakugo (I didn't serch in detail. If you know such kind of play in the world, tell me ).

In the live, a Rakugo-ka (a performer) sits on a zabuton (Japanese cussion) and tell us a story. It is so comical that all guests can't help laughing. On the one hand, rakugo is one of Japanese traditional play, so there are classic plays. I mean the storytellers have to memorize all of contents including the story, jestures and jokes. The perforOn the other hand, there are creative stories. In that case, the performers concider all contents.

Thus, in many cases, the rakugo performers are so smart.

Today, I watched the TV program about Shinosuke Tachikawa, who is a Rakugo-ka. He, at first, wanted to learn normal rakugo style. But, un fortunately, his master quit their association, he didn't have chance to practice and try rakugo performance. Because of such a enviroment, he created his original rakugo style. After watching it, I thought I would like to go and see his rakugo.

I think rakugo is wonderful play in Japan. I hope many people will realize rakugo is great. But, it is definitely difficult. Because one of the great points of rakugo is the rhythm of words. So, if you can't listen fast Japanese talking, you can't understand rakugo. Umm...

Kichijyoji

I went to Kichijyoji with my friend today.
It was so wonderful time because Kichijyoji is always different for me.
Some restaurants change different ones. Or some old buildings was rebuild to beuatidul ones. So, when I go there, I feel like it is first time I come here.

Today, I went a lot of places. I went to two restaurants, which I had never been before, new T-shirts shop, organic cosmetic store, aroma shop, tea shop (but it was closed...), karaoke, book store and big hobby shop. I am tired but I enjoyed them. If I had afford to do it, I wanted to buy some cosmetic items and cloths, but I didn't have any time and power. I would like to do it tomorrow or someday.

Especially talking with my friend was the most precious time. She is one of my junior high school and high school classmates. She is university student and also studys chemistry. Thus, we have a lot of common topics. I felt old friends are special for me. I hope we keep relationship forever.

Group Disscussion

I took group discussion lesson for job hunting.
I don't know I need this practice but I have to prepare for all stuation.
How difficult job hunting is!!!

At first, I watched the first discussion group (there are two group of them and I joined latter group). The members were so nurvous because they didn't have any preparation time. If I tried group discussion without preparation, I should felt same as them.

And second, our turn, we tried intresting question that was "which is the best for Japanese president in 2099?" The candidates are social studies teacher, the boss of party, young female president of new global company, astroboy and so on.

Is it interesting topic, isn't it? Why 2099? Why Astroboy?

Anyway, we discussed very earnestly. Because it is the first time discussion for all members but we could manage to summrise our opinion. And then the watcer explaned what was good or bad of each members. As for me, he said I had a unique idea and could image the whole prot of discussion but I need to open my mouth more actively. He was right. I couldn't find timing to say something. It is difficult...

And do you want to know our answer??

Our answer is Astroboy !

He can do anything! He is perfect!! I haven't known he is so smart robot till the discussion!!
