Fall semester

I heard that autumn semester is considered to be the busiest term in a year. I do not know the reason behind it, but I must agree that this fall is going to be very, very, busy.
This semester I am taking Sophomore English, International Law, Political Therory, Japanese Politics, Introduction to Sociology, and Archery as P.E. This is my first time to be satisfied and truelly interested with every single class I take within a term, so I am very happy about it. I think it is because now I am sophomore and therefore be able to take courses which are more academic and focused into more specific topic. However, this also means I have to put more efforts into each of my studies and therefore I need to think of the ways to use my time wisely and effectively. As for extracurricular activity, I'm taking a part in JIPSC, Japan-Israel-Palestine Student Conference. Last August we finished our biggest project, the summer conference, which was held in Hiroshima this year. Now we are writing reports of the conference and getting ready for the debriefing session which is going to be held this December. Though I am not going to continue working for the conference next year, I'm determined to do the best I can to help the members of the next year conference. As for the studies outside ICU, I am going to take French lesson at TUFS and Chinese lesson at Sophia University. I am so excited about both classes, but especially the Chinese class ! It's has been one of my dreams to learn Chinese because I have so many friends from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and I really want to communicate with them with their language, in order to have better understanding of their culture and also their way of thinking. The other thing I am excited about this autumn is that I'll start taking lessons at Yoga studio. Now I  am taking Yoga classes at a sport gym which I go to, but I've already got used to all the classes that are held at the gym and therefore wanted to take more advances classes. I wish to improve my Yoga skills because I think this is a sport of my lifetime :)
 There are so many new things I am going to start from this autumn and I wish to the best I can on each one of them.

  1. Wow, it looks like you have a busy term, but it seems like you are very satisfied with the line-up of classes and activities. I think your work with JIPSC is very important and want to support that!
