everyday I get e-mail says you passed and failed and passed and...
hmm, I'm getting tired a bit
every single year, I'm freaking out in the end of june
The only good point of job hunting is...
Syu-katsu is the best way to lose weight quickly..............lol
condition of skin is getting terrible, though.
(well, maybe it's only my case)
well, nothing special happend these days, just job-hunting job-hunting, job hunting...,,
Since I worry my English goes bad seriously, I'm looking for as many opportunities to use English as possibe, and then I realized there are so many here, even in Japan.
First off, hanging out with exchange students is pretty fun. We use half japanese and hald english, like language exchange.
Secondly, watching 1 english or french movie in 1 day is a bit demanding because of time. However, it's one of my hobby, so yeah I hope it's gonna be my habit.
Thirdly, international cafe&bar is the best place to learn English and to learn how to communicate with foreigners. Why didn't I know such amazing place was in my town!? so close to my place, actually. You can enjoy various beers and dishes from many other countries!
I really hope I can finish my job hunting ASAP, I went to 4 interviews last week. To talk about one of the companies, next step is going to be the last one, if I pass the interview I took last week.
AHHHH, please please wish me luck!!!!
I feel it has been long time since I said I would write about my memory of Montreal life. So, finally I can write thanks to the Internet! I couldn’t use the Internet at my place during this week because of contracting again with the company. Since there are few places where people can use WiFi around here, I had to use computers at school. It was really inconvenient. This week I was overwhelmed by course registration, transferring credits from McGill, writing some applications for companies, volunteer etc… and maybe my body got tired. I slightly caught cold from the day before yesterday, though I never got sick at all in Montreal (such a super cold place haha). Well, I shoud say this gonna be my personal change after coming back to Japan rather than my memory in Canada.
It already passed more than two weeks since I left Canada. My flight from Toronto to Narita was really comfortable because I could use three seats and lie on them enjoying Inception and Going the Distance. But the thing was many seats were cancelled because of the earthquake and the number of tourists to Japan is seriously decreasing…Anyway, I perceived my country differently and more critically as you said. First off, when I went back to my hometown, it was comfortable. Spending time with my family, grand-parents, my cousin’s family, my friends and my dog Belle was comfortable and peaceful, and happy. But at the same time, I felt so much pressure from my relatives toward my future. They always asked me “what’s your plan for future?” “What kind of job are you looking for?” “Are you coming back here?” and so on… Also I came to think I should make my life more exciting while I’m young at least. I think it’s because I learned life in other country, which people, language, culture…everything is totally different and almost every day is challenging and fun.
I took a small job-hunting exam which consisted of Japanese, math, and personality tests yesterday. The most difficult part was the last one, though people only have to choose and click which type of person they are. There is no right answer, of course, but my answer seemed really inconsistent; for example,
1) Are you too sensitive? / Yes.
2) Are you tough mentally? / Yes.
3) Do you prefer to challenge? / Yes.
4) Do you want to take safe and steady way? Yes.
5) Do you like helping others? Yes.
6) Can you sacrifice yourself for others? No…
It’s funny, isn’t it? I had about 70 questions like that. The test made me realize how I didn’t understand myself well. I really want to consider how my personality got change (or not) after studying in Canada, but I don’t have enough time now unfortunately =S There are sooooo many “textbook”s for job-hunting, and maybe I should start to read some. Job-hunting is now becoming exactly the same as entrance examination for university, I think.
My family, my aunt, my teacher, all of them said I looked different at the first sight.Well. Some say I got tanned and other say I was Americanized. (Honestly, I would like them to say Canadianized…lol) Well, I should admit I gained a lot, but I don’t understand at all what they meant by Americanized look. haha Even if compared pictures of before and after, I never realized the change by myself. I think my preference for fashion was changed a bit, though.
