I'm back.
Hi, all. You guys have almost forgotten me, haven't you? Long time no see...
I have been so busy that I couldn't write anything on my blog even though I had had
so many stuff to want to write down on it.
I'm so surprised that the last time I wrote something was May 9th... Time flies!
Let's talk how I'm doing these days.
I have been taking some classes for certificate in Parsons which is one of the
most famous school of design in NY since the beginning of June. And I'm on a long
vacation from language school until the middle of August.
The classes in Parsons are really fun and tough for me since my English skill is not
enough yet. I could understand what the teachers and students (obviously almost all
students are American) say though, explaining something in my mind is really difficult.
My teacher gives us a lot of assignments every time and we have to present our plans
once 2 times during the class.
So, basically I do my assignment during the day and I have a class in the evening
on weekdays, then I have to work on a weekend.
I'm planning to go to Parsons until next Spring to get a certificate, then going back
to Japan. While I have a lot of things to do before I go back, I have to enjoy the rest of
time in NY.
I'm definitly feeling that I live in NY these days.
皆さんお久しぶりです。覚えて頂いてますでしょうか？
Blogに書きたい事は山ほどあったんですが、色々と忙しくて全然書けませんでした…
前回書いた記事はナント5/9… ホンマに時間が経つのは早いものです。
今日は僕の近況を。
6月の頭からParsonsというNYで有名なDesignの学校のうちの１つで、Certificate Program
っていう授業を受けてます。語学学校はそのParsonsが始まったのと同時にVacationを
取ってて、8月中旬までお休み。
で、もちろんアメリカの普通の大学なので、授業は英語。実習中心の授業なんで、楽しいけど、
大変。
先生や生徒（言うまでもなく、ほとんどの生徒はアメリカ人）の言ってる事は、ほぼ理解できる
んやけど、自分が考えてる事を英語でうまく表現できなくて歯がゆい思いをしています。
毎回結構な量の課題を出されて、2回の授業に1回はプレゼンテーション。。。
なので、基本的に平日の日中は家で課題三昧、夜は学校のローテーションに、週末は
バイトという毎日を過ごしています。
予定ではこのParsonsのCertificateが来年の春に取れるので、それを取って日本に帰ります。
帰るまでにまだまだやるべき事は山積みやけど、もちろん悔いのないように残りのNY生活を
楽しむ事も忘れません！
最近、特にNYに住んでる！って感じてます、色んな意味で。
その”色んな”は、また順次Blogで紹介していきます。
そんな感じで近況報告でした★
BKLYNDESIGNS.
Friend of mine who goes to FIT gave me one flier of BKLYNDESIGNS which is
New York's premier exhibition of designers of contemporary furnishings and home
accessories made and/or designed in Brooklyn.
The show takes place May 7-9 at St Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO which is a pretty
well-known cool area in New York.
The vibe of the place was really nice. They have a high ceiling and a cool bar counter,
and there is a fantastic obje contained by some chairs at the entrance.
The place is divided into many booths and creaters of products and furnitures exbit
their own works.
There was a special awards ceremony of the web’s premier green design magazine in recognizing
the most innovative green designs at BKLYN DESIGNS with free beer.
The exhibitors who got this awards were not famous yet, but they must become famous because
all of their works were designed pretty well and had interesting concepts.
I really loved this event and I could have felt the designs in Brooklyn.
I'll put other pictures on later... Don't miss them!
Spring.
ご無沙汰してます。。。
ここ３週間ほど毎日忙しく、なかなか自分の時間が取れませんでした。
でも元気にやってます！
ＮＹは日中、春到来って感じのポカポカ陽気が続いていますが、夜になるとまだ肌寒いです。
Ｂｌｏｇに書きたい事がたくさんあったのですが、整理してから徐々にＵＰしていきます。
ちなみにカメラ壊れました…
でも友達から新しいカメラをＧｅｔしたので、写真もＵＰしますね。
あ～、それにしても時が経つのは早いですね。
もうすぐ５月、ＧＷかぁ…
早い…時間がいくらあっても足りない…
５月病にならないように気をつけます。
