How was SE? What did I learn during this course?

In this course, I could write the things which I want to write, so for me, this course was interesting.
Though I sometimes feel difficulty for English.
In the class, I learned some new way to write.
Especially, English Haiku made me strong impression.
It's not have form like Japanese one.
In English, I could not express what I want to say enough because I do not know how can I say it.
I recognized that I like to write poetic phrase, but it hard to convert English.
Through this course, I resumed my blog which I have written since 4 years ago in Japanese.

My memory of 2-1

When I was junior high school student, second year, I was in 2-1.
2-1 is second year, class 1.
2-1 has about 30 students and Ms.Andou.
Ms.Andou is a P.E teacher and famous as a strict person.
She was about 60.
April, we took a seat 5 minutes before for morning short homeroom.
We hand in work to be submitted few days before deadline.
We did not do moving to new seats till winter.
That class was very strange, but that class was my best class.
We did not have specific group, all of us are good friends.
We stay together for chorus contest, work hard to an athletic festival though we knew we cannot win because our class has did not have so much person who is good at exercise.
2-1 accepts all people in the class.
My life in 2-1 was wonderful.

What's my favorite song

My favorite song is "Kimi no siranai monogatari".
In English, it mean the story which you does not know.
The artist is supercell.
I love the song from senior high school.
I always sing it when I go to Karaoke.
I like the words of the song.
It is very painful.
I also like the promotion video.
That video is really dear.
Eternally sadness
Unrequited love story

Unrequited love is always very painful though I have not experience "not unrequited" love.
Other songs which written by ryo and sung by nagi is also very good.

"Truth is cruelty".

If I had a billion yen, what would I use it for?

1000000000yen...
!!!
If I had a billion yen, I want to go to around the world by floating hotel.
When I went to Yokohama this summer, I saw a big ship like floating hotel, so I want to ride it.
And through the trip, I want to see many of world heritages.
I also want to make a dress like snow white or cinderella.
After that, I want to donate the money.
Money is important, but not everything.
Working also have happiness, without it, our life become more boring.
I do not want to say whitewashing, but I think so.

What's my view about religion?

I'm not care about religion.
I spend a year as most Japanese.
I enjoy Helloween, Christmas, New years day, and so on.
And my senior high school is Buddhism.
Though now I'm in Christian university.
Many of my high school friends went on to Christian university.
I think I do not have special religion, but I experienced some of a fragment of religion.
When I was senior high school student, I did hand-copying of stutras, recite a sutra with beating a wooden drum, and sometimes went to a religious service.
Also in university, I did a staff of christmas service, went to Sunday service.
I do not have religion, but the experience through religion is precious, I think.

What does "love" mean to me?

According to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, love has about 3 big meanings.
First is for family or friends, a strong feeling of caring about someone, especially a member of your family or a close friend.
Second is romantic, a strong feeling of liking someone a lot combined with sexual attraction.
Third is pleasure or enjoyment, a strong feeling of pleasure and enjoyment that something gives you.
Thus, "love" is "a strong feeling".
To think about someone or something very deep, that is love.
For example, parents worry about their children when the child does not get home till late without contact, although the child may feel unpleasant, that is one of parents's love.

Tsujimura Mitsuki

I like reading books, especially novels.
Since I was elementary student, I like reading books.
In junior high school and senior high school, I felt very busy, so I could not read many books.
I resumed reading books for free time since when I became university student.
In last summer vacation, I read about 10 books.
Those are almost Tsujimura Mitsuki's books.
Her books are novels like mystery.
I like "Kodomotati ha yoru to asobu" the best.
That is a story about university's life and murder.
The last was very good.
Her books attract me a lot.
Now, I'm reading "honjitu ha taian nari" which is also written by her.

What do I hate more than anything?

Insect

 

I hate insect more than anything.

Reptiles are all right.

I think house lizard is cute.

But insects are very disgusting.

They threaten our peaceful life.

I hate them even if they are very little like an ant.

So I use insect repellent spray almost every day.

 

Comparing when was high school, I become little strong from the side of insects.

I became can kill insects like an ant, a spider, and so on by using tissue paper up to 2 millimeter.

 

Insects are enemy.

I have to overcome them to get peaceful life.

I have to be can struggle with them.

What is "happiness" to me?

Happiness...
Happiness.....
Happiness..........

The day before yesterday, I watched the movie, "Snow white and the queen of mirror country".
In the movie, the queen repeated that "mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful in the world?"
For this queen, happiness is to be a most beautiful person.

For me, happiness is to spend time with precious person, maybe.
Even if just walking or sitting, I can feel happiness since only the fact that I'm spending time with the person.

Happiness for someone is very little for somebody, but very big for original.
When you wish upon a star, happiness is you have a wish which you want to grant.

blister

Today is anniversary that I made blister from the first time in my life.
I made it to my middle finger of right hand.
Today, I had physical education class.
In that class, I take Japanese drum.
When almost the class was finished, I noticed my right middle finger feel ache more than other fingers.
However I had to practice more few minutes.
So I played it with enduring my right middle finger's pain.
After the class, my righ middle finger still had pain.
And I found that there is a blister.
This is my first experience that I made blister.

What are my greatest strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths
I could not come up with this soon.
Maybe my strength is to keep promise or time.
I always keep promise which is done by anyone.
I also keep time.
I often arrive rendezvous before 5 or 10 minutes.
But these are very basic things, so I am not sure if I can say this as a strength.

Weaknesses
This is easier to answer.
I think my weakness is very clear.
I am easy to get effects from anything.
For example, when I read the writing which has dark context, I become very nervous for few days.
This is not good to spend life.
I want to be more strong.

The power of words

Do you believe the soul of language?
I want to write about that, in Japanese Kotodama.

Recently, I have to say the words which I do not want to say in the play.
It is like "disgusting", "die", "fool", "obstacle".
In the play, we have to say these words to a member of the cast.
It's very hard to say, of course more hard to be said I know.
But also to say is difficult.
When I say those words, I almost cry although in the scene it is not allowed.

From this experience, I started think about the soul of language.
I think there are the soul of language.
It moves our emotions.
Words have the power to not only our feelings, but also our way of life.

Evanna Lynch

Do you know Evanna Lynch?
I like her very much.
She is an actress who played Luna Lovegood in the movie of Harry Potter.
I am a fun of Harry Potter.
I read the book with reservation, within a week from publishing.
In my house, there are all of Harry Potter books, DVDs, and the dictionary of Harry Potter.
When I read book of the 5th volume, which is the first time to enter Luna Lovegood to the story, I did not think that I like Luna Lovegood very much.
But since I watched that movie, my view was changed.
Since then, I become very deep Luna Lovegood's lover.
Evanna Lynch in the movie was very very cute.
I like her peformance, voice, how to say words, and so on.
I think she is the best person to play Luna Lovegood.
I am very happy when I see her through the screen.

What is the most precious thing in my life?

The most precious thing...
Is that thing which has shape?
For example, the children are looking forward to get a present from Santa Claus in Christmas, their feeling are precious.
Precious thing is not always happiness.
I think it include sadness.
If we do not have sadness, happiness become worthless.
For me, the most precious thing is memory.
It is a track.
It is our own story.
The very thing of life.
We have a lot of memory.
Past things are made beautiful, more it looks excellent.
Memory is not always good.
But including it makes better to our life.
Our life which we are living Now.
The own story we are making is the most precious thing that other people cannnot experience.
