Guess who has a cold? Me! (Yesterday was very bad – the guys ended up bringing me their heater, for which I am very thankful) As always, I’m using the lull before the afternoon competition to write this. Sadly, the afternoon competitions for both day 2 and 3 were cancelled, Day 2 because of the… Read More Saga International Balloon Festival Days 3 and 4
I’m writing this as we’re waiting for news about whether the afternoon competition of Day 2 for the Saga International Balloon Fiesta can be held. The wind’s been rather strong since this morning (we actually cancelled, then resumed the morning competition), so it’s a bit hard to say whether we can hold this afternoon’s competition.… Read More Saga International Balloon Fiesta Days 1 and 2
I’m writing this from the 公民館 (community centre) in Saga. I arrived this evening, because for the next 5 days, I’ll be helping out at the Saga International Balloon Fiesta as part of the Net Team!! So you can probably expect almost daily blogposts 😀 And unlike yesterday, I can finally give an update as… Read More Zemi Paper Update
Yesterday, I woke up at 6 am to go to Tsuiki Air Base. Apparently, there was some sort of open-house day thing going on, and my zemi gave me the opportunity to go there for free. Obviously, I opted to go. The first thing I saw on the bus was this sign: I’m guessing this… Read More Visit to Tsuiki Air Base
The new semester started on Wednesday (30/9), which means I have one and a half years of student life left. Where did the time go? It feels like it was just last year that I came to Fukuoka, but I’ve already been here for two and a half years! And of course, it didn’t help… Read More Year 3 Semester 2 Has Started!
I’m in Malaysia! For my sub-zemi – we’re attending an industrial show, which has been quite interesting so far. And now, time for the last part of my main zemi’s camp. So, most of you have heard my election-day story, where I had not enough sleep. Well, I probably mentioned in there, but I’ll mention… Read More ゼミ合宿 (Zemi Class Camp) Day 3
Time for Day 2 of the zemi class camp! So day 2, well, it’s our only full day so we had to study. Only in the morning though, and for two hours. I think after day 1, no one had much energy or motivation to study. But, we all buckled down and did our best… Read More ゼミ合宿 (Zemi Class Camp) Day 2
Like I said yesterday, before I went to vote, I had a class camp. It was supposed to be a study camp, but in the end, we only studied for two hours. But anyway, let me start from the beginning. Our class camp this year was held in Beppu. Since there are 16 people in… Read More ゼミ合宿 (Zemi Class Camp) Day 1
I received confirmation that I failed my first subject. I say confirmation because my teacher told me, right after the test, that I failed by one mark. Let this be a lesson: remembering formula is important, but so is remembering kanji. I kinda wrote the wrong kanji and lost the marks that would have pushed… Read More Exams ended and…
Ok, I was planning to make this two posts, but exam season starts tomorrow, so who knows when I’ll blog (or conversely, if I procrastinate enough, you may see more posts :p). Anyway, after getting to Aomori, we took a shinkansen all the way down to Tokyo for two things: the NTT History Center of… Read More Aomori – Tokyo Zemi Trip: Part 3 (Tokyo)
