Well, it has been for about a half year after the last time I wrote an article. I have been never lazy during this span. I have been just so busy. First of all, I had to dedicate my time to write a paper to contribute to the JAP(Journal of Applied Physics). Because it was actually my first time to write an official paper, I didn't know how to write at all and had a hard time. Thanks to my professor's help, I managed to contribute it in last January. Secondly, I have attended two academic conferences (which was held each in KOBE and TOKYO) and made some presentation about my research during this span. Namely, I had to use my time to make slides for them and to practice making a speech. Thirdly, this is not relating to school life but I had been to school to get a motorcycle driver's license. Although I had wanted to ride on motorcycle for a long time, I didn't have enough money to buy it. However I suddenly had a good opportunity to make its dream comes true, because a friend of mine gave me his motorcycle.
Because of these reasons, I coudln't write any diaries.

First diary

This is my first diary.

Although I was going to write exeryday , I didn't have enough time. I especially had a lot of work to do this week. Assignments imposed in each class were so heavy for me that I had to sacrifice my weekend. I managed to finish those tasks, but I had another work to do untile next tuesday. It was making some slides to introduct my research to undergraduate students in my reseach group. This is the heaviest work. I have to consider how I can tell them simply about what I study, because they don't have enough knowledge to understand my reserch. In addition, the time I can take in the presentation has been decided thirty minutes. With calculation that it takes one minute for one slide, I have to at least thirty slides. Today I made thirty four slides but they don't contain all of what I'm going to speak. So, I think it'll probably more than fifty slides. However, this presentation is held in only my reseach groop and it's unofficial. Even if I take more than thirty minutes, it'll be okay and I'll not be probably scold.

I'm going to absolutely finish this task by the end of tomorrow ! . But I have three classes tomorrow and I'm going to be definitely imposed additional assignments... I feel keenly that life is not easy.
