Mentor's Constructive Advice

Yesterday I turned in a revised prospectus for my Ph.D. dissertation to one of my mentors at her class. I was so glad that she told me that it looked good when she took a look at the contents.

Also, she advised me to contribute the paper that I had written in the U.S. before to an academic journal published by my university. I'll think about it.

After the class, we talked about women's issue and she advised me to try to conceive a baby soon, sharing her own experiences. I was moved she was such a warm-hearted and understanding mentor. (´∀｀)

BoA's Concert

My husband and I went to an event sponsored by his company to enjoy BoA's concert. She was amazing!

We had yummy food and took a medical check-up while waiting for her concert to start. Her performance was awesome and I found her musically gifted and attractive.

Morimo, thank you for giving me a chance to join the event.

Doctor of Ob-gyn

I went see a doctor of ob-gyn (obstetric and gynecology) today to know the cause of bleeding, which looked as if I was having my period. （Ｔ＿Ｔ）

He said it was anovulatory bleeding due to ovulatory dysfunction. According to him. he could give me an ovulation inducer and the treatment could bring about ovulation, resulting in a normal pregnancy.

I told him that I want to follow my progress if it resolves itself without an ovulation inducer. I am supposed to go to the hospital again to hear about the result of the uterus cancer screening that I took today, in 10 days.

Happy Birthday to My Brother & Neice!

My husband and I went to a family get-together to celebrate the birthday of my brother and neice at my parents' place.

I am glad that my husband helped my mom to chop up the fruit well and others took a picture of it on a dish. Thank you, Morimo! (´∀｀)

After dinner, we discussed diet cure since we wanted to encourage my brother, who has inflammation in the joints of right elbow. We hope he gets well soon.

Deadline Is Approaching...

I feel stressed out, due to the approaching deadline of the prospectus for my dissertation. I will do my best, hoping things will work out.

Morimo...

Golf School

My husband has suggested we start going to a golf school near our place together and I am thinking about it. That will be my very first time to learn how to play golf properly while he has been playing golf for several years.

He says that it would be helpful for me when I really want to play golf together in the future whether in Japan or abroad. Umm ... I think he is right.

We want to conceive a baby this year or next year so I might not be able to go to a golf school that long, but I think it makes sense that I take a step forward now. People say you're never too old to start and I agree with that. However, I also think that younger you start to learn something, faster and more easily you can get it.

I might want to start now as long as I can enjoy it with my husband.

Menstration

My menstration occurred during my research in the United States for the first time after I had surgery for miscarriage. My husband and I were very glad.

We would be happy if we conceive a baby by the end of this year... (´∀｀)

Just Came Back!

I came back from the United States last night. My husband came to the airport to pick me up. I was so glad to meet him for the first time in two weeks. We hung out at the airport, had dinner at "Soup Stock" and had a cheese cake to go, which was amazingly good before we went home.

What was surprising to me was he waxed the floor of our rooms and thankfuly they were spick-and-span. He also bought plenty of fruits and redecorated our living room. Thank you so much. (´∀｀)

Looking back today, I feel satified with my research.

A few days after I started to do research there, it turned out that my hypothesis was kind of wrong and I felt stressed out. However, my husband and mother continued to encourage me to hang on. As a result, I think my research worked out and I succeeded in framing a hypothesis, based on plenty of data.

I will spend time in drawing a framework of my dessertation from now on and see how my mentors would think about it.

I am so grateful for my husband, mother, and people who have supported me with my study during this trip to the United States. I will write a thank-you letter to them.

Ready for a Trip to the U.S.

I am going to the United States in two days to do some research for my Ph.D. dissertation. I have been pretty stressed out because thinks are not going well now.

Recently I asked an archivist and professors to offer any suggestions of where I might look for sources and help me in my research. However, they told me that it seems like there were only a few sources relevent to my inquiry. Phew, this trip might be stressful. （Ｔ＿Ｔ）

I applied for a cellphone and mobile internet connection service ("Internet Card"). Today I think I will pack stuff.

I really hope things will work out. (´□｀｡)
