Summer Vacation

My summer has started finally.

Now I'm done with first term of second year in my University.

I couldn't work hard on architecture this past term.
As a result of it, I couldn't be the top student of the class for the first time.
Which is fine and made me think of so many things...

Aside from my project in my school, I went to a WS in Hiroshima.
And I got a real project from one of American entrepreneur which is very very exciting.
Now I realized that architecture is not just imagination but actually it has big power to change everything. So architecture matters for me and the world.
Now I have big responsibility for the project and it makes me the way more serious about learning architecture in a good way.

I realized that I wasn't trying hard as much as I can to learn architecture.
Ego and all other noises were disrupting me and now I realized all kind of such things are just meaningless for my path of learning design.
And I made so many reasons to not work hard on architecture, but I was just running away.
Architecture is what I love,what matters and what I do.

It took one and half year to figure it out.

Turned to 20!

Hi.

I start to write this blog again.

I realized that I started writing this blog when I was in high school...so so long time ago...

Anyway, I turned to 20 this month.

And one Summer School I participated this month changed almost everything of my life.
I think I  was meant to be there. (Although I skipped all classes of university for 10days:))
I'll write about it when I feel like doing it.

The Summer School which held in Hiroshima gave me a lot of opportunities.
And I'm already feeling that this is the chance and "I have to do it".

Without any pressure, I will write what I thought as a record.

Thank you very much for your patience.

The Art of Getting By

How are you?

I'm feeling great!Because today,I could go to school after two days off for cold.
Also,I watched a heart warming movie called "The Art of Getting By"which is story drawn between teenage boy and teenage girl. It wasn't like a masterpiece or something like that. But I really loved this movie.
I recommend you to watch this movie with a cup of cocoa and some cookies:)

In this movie,main character says that "We all born alone and we die alone. Life is just a illusion". And he can't find any meaning for doing homework or to take classes. After meeting the girl,he starts to change himself...it seems common story if I write. You know, my low-skill-level English...but my heart was warmed up by this movie. So,if you felt so much stress or tiredness,please watch "The Art of Getting By".

I have a report,that my neighbor in my classroom had came back from his bicycle travel around Japan .
So,it's gonna be more enjoyable in class,and we'll be able to start practice of singing again!
I have a class in the morning tomorrow,so I think I should work on my stuff.

See you soon.

Autumn

Hi!

Summer is over...what a sad reality:(
But I spent great time with my friends this summer,so I don't have any regret.

Actually,summer has passed long time ago.And winter is already coming!
I like cold seasons because I like snow and wearing nice coat.
So actually I'm little bit excited:)

These days,I'm doing Graduation Project mainly.
Next week,I have a interim presentation of graduation project.
It means my project will be evaluated by teachers.
That's so terrifying!  For the speech,I'm writing manuscript.

In my graduation project,I went to Tokyo again to meet respectable architect SANAA early of this month.
It was nice experience for me to be there and to interview one of SANAA's architect Kazuyo Sejima.
She was so calm and her words inspired me a lot.
It's really important to go somewhere to meet new people. I realized how fun meeting new people.
And it's sure that you can get something from the person you meet first time or the experience.

I decided going to university in Kyoto next year,and study architecture.
I love Kyoto city,so I wanted to study in Kyoto before I go abroad.
I'm really excited for the university!

First,I wanna improve my english skill.
And I also wanna speak Chinese and French.

Today's word

Beach!

Hi!

It's been a week and half.

How's your summer going?

I spent days just studying in my house or go out to eat lunch with my friends.

On12th,my friend came to my house and we practiced singing,Cuz me and two of my friends will perform singing in culture festival in November. Before the festival,we need to perform it in front of students! So we have to practice as soon as possible!!

But there is a problem. That is one of the memeber is on the way of travel crossing Japan with bicycle.OMG...But he is so talented like genius,so I'm not at all worrying about it:) I know he will perform singing perfectly!

From 18th to 20th,I went to the beach in Wakayama with my friends. all girls!

We stayed in the mansion of my friend's grandfather's. The view was amazing! The sea...the sky...blue... I could forget every day reality for a while,so it was really nice to sit and just see the sea or talking or eating. 

I'm still thinking about university. It's really difficult to clear my head and find the thing what I wanna do or choose.

Sunset from the roof of mansion.

Blue sky and the sea!

Anyway, I'm on my way to home from Wakayama with a ticket called "youth 18 ticket"which can use to get on only local trains or express trains. So,it takes a lot of time,but it's so cheap.

Now my friends are sleeping:)

I'm going to Tokyo in few days for graduation project and to see my friends:)

And Steiner school's event will be held there,I'm so excited!!

Summer☀︎

I had so big events after volleyball tournament but it's not time for me to look back to the past. So, I'm gonna write about it lightly.

I turned into the 12th grade in April so,this is the last year of high school. Oh my god...

I can't imagine leaving this school in a year. I've been attending to the school over 11years. It's crazy...same classmates for 12years...it's completely crazy... In July,our class played graduation drama. July isn't month of graduation but 12th grades students play a drama in July every year. We played "Guardian Of The Spirit" and I played main character,Balsa. You know,I acted "the guardian". I did acting,action and singing. Acting was the most difficult part but I did everything I could. So,I'm good with that. 

My class classmate(who acted a main character with me) drew it for my birthday.

I couldn't stop laughing first time I saw it. It's too cool!amazing! Now this drawing is of my treasure.

I just can appreciate having such a great friend.

Anyway,I'm in a summer vacation. Until last year,I haven't had summer vacation for many years because of volleyball club. So I can't believe that many of students enjoyed like this so much free time while I playing volleyball. It's really nice to have summer vacation!!

I went to Kanazawa to see "21st century museum of contemporary art,Kanazawa" two weeks ago.

These are photos;)

"The man measuring the sky"

It's just a part of them. So, I'm gonna add some pictures later!

In the mini trip to Kanazawa,I experienced a guest house for the first time. My commemorable first guest house pongyi was really nice to stay and it costed only 2700yen. I'm impressed with that price;)

I spent only one night there,but I met nice people. Like two girls,one from Hong Kong and other one from Singapore. Other Japanese office workers.

I like going trip because every time go to trip,I find place or people I never seen. They always makes me surprised.  That's why I like going somewhere I never been.

                                       

Enjoy your summer!  

Retirement Tournament

It's story about my volleyball finished long time ago...but finally, I'm gonna write about it!!

As you know,I was a captain of a volleyball team until April.

And I had a retirement tournament in April. Before the tournament,we did many practice game with teams which participates in the tournament later. In those practice game, we won almost all of them. So,I had confidence that we would be able to win at least few times in the tournament. But always we can't know what would happen in sports games. So,I prepared and focused on 100percent on the tournment.

Because of the best preparation,we could win the first game against a team which we couldn't win before. We beated them before they get best condition.

Consequently,we made it into to best 4. We couldn't play third-place match. So, maybe we were best three. Only god knows:)

It was so fun tournament. I had never felt such great feeling while playing volleyball. And it was my first real feeling of playing volleyball with "team". I could experience sense of accomplishment and fulfillment with all teammates and my coach who supported and raised me for over 6years through volleyball.

The one year,I acted as a captain was so tough. It was almost just stressful and exhausting. But at the end,there was a amazing gift.

First,I wanna thank my best two friends who also played volleyball for 6years together.

And I wanna thank teammates and people who supported me.
