expatriot life -21ページ目

it's been a long time

I havn't written diary on this blog since I started to write in Japanese in the other blog site. But I feel that I cannot write everything I want to write in that blog because people I know are reading my diary. But I can write whatever I want to write in this blog! ^^


I played basketball with my friend. The weather was good and I felt very good. I found that I forgot about the fact I failed in the exam. I think it is good for my health.

Stress

Hmm.. stressed out.. I'm addicted to the internet today.. It's dagnerous. I should try not to open my computer tomorrow.

Midterm tomorrow..

I have a midterm tomorrow. But I think I take a nap first and start studying^^;

I want to play basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get stressed out.

I studied with students who participate in the language exchange. I met their friends too and we ate dinner together but I didn't get stressed or too excited at all. I think that my monthly body cycle affect my feeling strongly and in a particular time of a month, I get really stressed out from whatever I experience. So I think I should not care a lot if I get stressed out. I will think that it is because of my body and mental conditions.


I did streching for about 30 mins. I think I should go play basketball since I haven't.


Socializing again

I went to karaoke last night with language exchange friends. As I expected, the ones who speak English as their first language sang very well. One of them was really good and he was like a singer. All of them are taking Japanese language class or took it before. I am glad to meet people who are interested in Japanese culture. I was nervous as usual so I couldn't talk with them as much as I wanted to... even though I could use Japanese.. don't know why. But one thing I found interesting was a boy who is half Japanese and American sees himself as American. It seems to be because his outlooks is closer to White rather than Japanese. I'm interested in the identities of Asian Americans. I wonder how they feel about thier ethnic background. I've got many Asian American friends now, so I will see many things I want to know about.


Unfortunately I was stressed out all day today. I guess it is from socializing. Time passed very quickly without doing anything except a little bit of homework. I came back to the dorm a bit late last night and after that I was still really awake and I couldn't sleep till like 4 or 5am. When I woke up in the morning, my state was continued from last night and I was tired from lack of sleep. Now I feel better and realxed, but I hope I will come to not get stressed from socializing. Maybe I need experiences.


Anyway, I have been doing exercise recently, mainly stretching.

4 Hours Difference

I couldn't sleep till around 2:30 am last night. I think it was because I have woken up around 11am in the past three days. I woke up at 7am this morning to go to my earliest class. I played basketball for about 30 mins after the class.


When I got to my room, I took a nap but because I couldn't sleep enough last night, I slept for about two hours. I felt better when I woke up so I studied before dinner.


Nowadays, I am taking a rest from socializing. I am not really an out-going person, so socializing can make me tired a lot. I will get back to it little by little.



Accounting Is Hard!

I studied Accounting all day long today. The contents taught in class are getting harder and harder. >_< I am still confused about some questions I did today, but it is irritating that I have no one to easily ask. If I want to go to my professors office hours, I need to wake up really early. Also, he is not really friendly. I repeatedly think about my school's short comings.


I did streching for about 30 mins as usual.


I learned that I need time I spend by myself to be balanced. I was thinking that I need to stay im my room to take a rest all day but maybe it is not as best. I ate meals and studied by myself. I remember that I was really stressed out when I had a lot of appointments with people. I know I cannot help meeting people but I should find enough time for myself.

I Like Language Exchange!

I did the language exchange yesterday. My exchange mate kindly explain about my questions, so it is very helpful. I learned that the person who is always proud of himself and showing off can be described like he is full of himself.

After the language exchange, we ate dinner together in my dorm dining. She said she can cook Korean food for me. I found that we will never lose topic to talk about because I have questions about English and Korean, and she has questions about Japanese. I hope I can continue the language exchange with her for a long time.


I have been streching for about 30 mins these past days. I did it for today too.

Watched Kawai Hayao

What I learned today is from a TV program that had Kawai Hayao. I like him a lot because he is very natural. He does not behave like he is an authority of Japanese Psychology.


I learned that laughter is very important in the daily life. And to make someone laugh is a kind of hospitality. I hope I can be a person who always makes people happy and smile.


I did streching and part of radio taisou daiichi for about 30 mins.


Do It Everyday

I took a midterm and I was not sure about some questions. At night, I did streching for about 30 mins like I did yesterday.


I started "to learn one important or interesting thing everyday". I learned that there are some kinds of vegitarian like vegan, lacto-vegan... I knew some vegitarian people eat this or not that, but I didn't know there are name to distinguish them. (yesteday)


Also, I learned that I really need to study more and more in order to compete with people who understand things quickly and succeed when they need to succeed without really taking time to prepare for it. I am a slow learner and need time to understand and memorize. And the field I want to work in will have those smart people, I need to keep it in mind and make effort!


P san started to make a business plan. I think he has a good start. I hope he will keep doing and accomplish it!
