How was SE?

Actually, when I heard I had to write many blogs and pieces in first class, I felt it was really troublesome because I do not like writing, especially in ELP. However, when I started writing blogs, it was not troublesome but really I enjoyed it.  When I write academic papers, I have to obey many rules. But in thise class, I do not have to write academic way, so I can write my favorite way. I learned writing is fun in fact in this class.
I wrote about my family in some articles. So far, I did not notice how important they are for me. But I could notice it through writing blogs about family. Through SE, I could discover importance of family.
I want to keep writing in any ways like in SNS. When I tweet in twitter, I always use Japanese but I want to try to write in English to improve my English skills and develop as an English writer.

Autumn break

Have you decided what are you going to do during Autumn break?

I've decided a little. After finishing my exam on 20, I am going to go back to my hometown, Gifu city by Shinkansen. Then from 21 to 23, I am going to visit Hokkaido with my grandparents. Actually it is first time for me to visit Hokkaido, but I am afraid of scary temperature. Anyhow, I am really glad to travel with my grandparents. My grandpa has terminal cancer, so I am worrying about him everyday, every moment. It is really miracle that I can go traveling with him again although he always told us he would be live more than 10 years. I want to enjoy the time with my grandparents.
From 24 to 25, I am going to go Osaka and Kyoto with my little brother. On 24, we are going to go USJ. That night, we will stay at my sister's apartment which is in Kyoto city. The next day, we will walk around Kyoto and go back to Gifu.
From 27 to 29, my friend might come to my home and travel Gifu, Nagoya, and Ise. Then I will go back to Tokyo.
In Tokyo, what should I do? I want to hang out with my section mates, also I need to study for winter term.
Wish Autumn break is coming soooooooooooooooooon!!

Serious my weakness

I have a serious weakness. But I have to overcome it as soon as possible.
My SERIOUS WEAKNESS is that I am very bad at waking up in the morning. Usually, when I wake up, it is around noon even if I go to bed till 1am!! lol Recently, I could not attend sophomore English class because of this problem lol
Moreover, I have 3 classes in 1st period in a week. But because of my weakness, I could not attend almost all classes in 1st period. 30% of the grade of that class is attendance, so I might fail this class...Anyway, I have to do my best in the final test!!!
Of course, I use alarm clocks but I am really good at stopping it as soon as possible lol
It's getting cold, so I am afraid that I cannot wake up still more.
If you have any advice about my big and serious weakness, please tell me. I really envy people who can wake up spontaneously.

Theme Writing

I have just finished writing my theme writing. The topic is "Labor problems for Japanese women". It is true that some labor problems for Japanese women have already been solved, but there are still many problems compared with men. Women face the problem for the first time when they are hunting for a job. They are often asked “Can you continue this job after marriage and childbirth?” at the interview. On the other hand, men are never asked such question. This fact is a kind of discrimination for women and it shows there are still gaps between women and men. Marriage and childbirth make women difficult continue their jobs. When women try to take a maternity leave and a child-care leave, they are sometimes treated unfairly. To solve these problems, I suggested 2 solutions in my essay; Japanese government should follow other advanced countries' good models, they should increase the number of nursery schools.
What do you think about this topic? Do you agree with me?

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

If I had a billion yen, what would I use for?
I am really interested in stock dealing. So first, I want to enter university in US and learn economics and stock more. Then, I start buying and selling stock with left money.
If I could make a lot of money on stock market, I want to donate the profits to many people and groups. For example, for Tohoku area, refugees in Syria, poor children in Africa and so on.
In addition, I want to travel around the world with my family and friends. I want to use a lot of money in poor countries to stimulate the economic.

Anyway, a billion yen is too many to imagine for me. It is an unreal world and what I wrote above is just my ideal. If I would be such a rich, it makes me happy very much because I can buy whatever I want and I can go wherever I want. But I am afraid of being a lazy and finishing my life just wasting money on useless things.

problems between Israel and Palestine

Yesterday, I attended a lecture about problems between Israel and Palestine.
I know a little about the problem, but I did not know the details. Now I want to understand and consider the problem because I faced the situation that I have to think about it when I visited both Arabic countries and Israel.
This problems is one of the most difficult problems to solve in world affairs, but nobady can give up solving the problem. WE are JAPANESE, not American or others. So, Japanese can maintain neutrality when we discuss and consider the problem. This is strong point for Japanese. This problem might be impossible to solve but we have to keep thinking "What should we do?", "What can we do?"
