Reflection of P&Ds and NP

Last wednesday, we had P&Ds three times so far. two of them were in ASP, one of them was in ARW. I was very interested in books and the questions my sekumes chose! I wish I could have said my opinion to their questions!!! Next time I will!!!!

Today's lecture was given by 'mac' Rab! not magic mike! hehe :P

We can tell he loves mac soooo much!!!

But he seemed like too crazy about mac and Firefox. That's why I was seriously thinking if he was hired by mac or Firefox....

But what I was amazed at was a technique of work cited!!!

It was just amazingly fast!!!!! speedy!!!

Even though my sekume who sat by my right side and was a birthday girl today was complaining all the time in the lecture. hahaha just kidding!

Hard week!

It's gonna be sooooo hard weeks in this and next week!!!!

because I'm gonna have a test in ALN, give an presentation in ALS, and have a tutorial with Asako on Wednesday. On Thursday, I have debate, experiment of psychology, discussion about RCA with miya maika eriko, and kickout party at night. On Friday I have to submitt Life Science report, take ARC test..... I don't want to write anymore!!!!!!

I'm freaking out!!!!

But Eriko said that means weeks go fast! she's encouraged me many times!!!

I'll do my best! And I want to encourage another friend!!!!

heeeeerrrree we gooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, how's everybody doing??

so, the skit we played was very successful!!!!
And I think our group skit was the best, wasn't it?
But every other group was doing pretty nice job and I really enjoyed seeing them.
in the last ARW, Susan looked little tired...
so i thought i must work hard to be a good academic student in the class!

yesterday i found that i spent 3hrs to do my RCA class HW.
It took me 2hrs to finish one page of handout!!!!!!
I cannot spend that much time for only RCA HW!
cause i have way more things to do!!!!
I need to ask everyone how they are dealing with HW or managing their time.
cause i know that everyone has far better brain or strategies than i do! :->

have a good night!

Ｃ－week

This week was c-week, so time went fast!!

I was really blessed by attending open house,

seeing worship night member worshiping at Bakayama,

and attending Saturday morning service.

On Friday, we went outside in ARW!

I've never had such a wonderful class ever!

Oh, and especially ASP classes were fun for me.

On Wednesday, we(Miya, Shiho, So-chan, Maika and me) recorded the video of our discussion.

But the theme Mr Stringer gave us was 'Golden Week should be a week holiday.'

So we were all surprised at the unexpected theme! I thought it was kinda interesting theme though. And in Friday's ASP we talked about our skit scenario. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's skit!!

Retreat!!!

I went to Nagano for the first time for the freshman retreat.

I have bad news and good news. ( as Rab always says... :P)

One of the good news is that the food was very goooood!

I really enjoyed both of the dinner buffet and the breakfast buffet.

And also when we went to Kirigamine, we ate a thick soft cream and a Goheimochi, which were sooooo yummy!!!

Another good news is that I could make lots of new friends!

On the other hand, a bad news is that I was too tired to stay up late.

So I couldn't hang out with my buddies that much.

I went to bed at 12:30 even though I usually go to bed at 3:00!!!

I was pretty tired at that night.

Still, I was happy to have fun with them and get to know them more!!

Academic Reading and Writing

I have tons of homework and I haven't finished it yet....

But I WILL finish it by the evening!!!!!

well, my folks,

few seconds ago, when I noticed lots of tough homework comes from ARW,

I found Susan's contradiction between what she says and what she does!!!!

Because she always tells us ' don't panic!' but she makes us panic by giving much homework!!!!

WOW!!!

that's critical thinking!

yeah!!!

that's all for today!

ELP is wonderful!

Hi, it's Mariko! How are you?

Well, this is my first blog ever, so I'm not sure if this way of writing is right or not...

But anyway, I'm supposed to write about my reflection through this ELP class, right?

ELP is very useful class. there is no waste. Because not only I can learn both of the way of thinking and the way of using English, but also reading, writing, and speaking strategies.

What I felt thorough this ELP class is how awesome to share our opinions together. I'm surprised everyday at my classmates' thoughts and ideas which I've never thought about.

I really want to be able to think critically and catch up with them!!!

Thank you for reading.
