Half a year gone
9 months ago
and I did the exam on schedule. It was a tough ride, maybe the toughest I’ve ever had, but there is beauty in hard work. At least for me.
So this was the introductory course and I’m starting preparing for the three left (ugghh) exams from tomorrow.
I sent two postcards
9 months ago
to the places I had worked before. I took the trouble and wrote them in Japanese, sent them, and I feel so good about it, imagining how happy and surprised they are going to be. (At both places they treated me like family, I miss them and I think of them a lot.)
To other people, classmates, friends, my supervisor professor I’m going to send emails. I want to keep in contact with those that were important to me, and I am a lazy person, I know that, so I have to consciously make myself do it.
So, postcards done, next is the mail thing, which is going to be a lot of emails, around 20, but I have to do it at least once in half a year. It is kind of difficult though, because what can I write about? There are no huge news like getting decorated by the president, and I certainly cannot write about my new skirt either… Life goes on with small steps and progress is not easily seen in the process.
I will try to make it sound entertaining.
And I really would like to know what’s new with their small steps too.
