生活編
My life

I worked on preparing presentation and performance really hard. Also I practiced reading Chinese every midnight to improve my pronunciation and reading skills. In classes I am now taking, I do not have close friends (of course I talk in classes.) and was upset about it at first, but I noticed that cherishing friends I already had was really important. I started texting them and now I am deepening relationships with them. Today, I met my precious friend from Saudi Arabia and enjoyed the time and kept talking. (We went to cafe and beach and kept walking along there and talking.) Also, these days, I spent lots of time with Japanese friends and that became precious time that I cannot experience in Japan. Because Japanese here are the people who I cannot normally meet in Japan. I've got lots of precious Japanese friends as well. Also, I started working out at gym to get muscular with my friend and started diet program not in a strict way… He knows a lot about how to build up a good body so it is fun to talk about it.

授業編
The Music Industry
音楽産業
語学(地域言語)
960分
I finished 20 minute presentation about Shangri-Las, a girls group in 60's. The topic was assigned individually and everybody did different music artists. I practiced a lot beforehand, but I was not confident enough about the the content due to lacking information about them. I should've done confidently but I did the best and I can make most use of this experience in the future. We are learning about how money moves in the music industry and how the industry is changing recently. This is level 7 which is the highest and I review and ask the teacher almost every time to catch up with other classmates.
Written Chinese
中国語
語学(地域言語)
240分
This paper is really relaxing and slow-going so I can ask questions anytime. Everybody except for me is taking Chinese 2 which is more advanced class, so what we do is a bit hard for me. But luckily I am Japanese and already know most Kanji and also have Taiwanese flatmate so I can ask her to teach me and pronounce my textbook (and record it). This paper is writing based, but also learn reading. We have time to read textbook in front of class and I do it every time, so I feel my reading skill is improving.
Performance and communication
パフォーマンスとコミュニケーション
講義(英語)
720分
I finished my 2-5 minute individual performance in front of class. We were permitted to do whatever so I was wondering what I was going to do. Finally, I decided to act like a typical American. Because I felt I was so different from other classmates in a way of reacting, in rhythm of conversation, and in personality (No Asian and almost all are Kiwi and native English speakers.), I had no idea how to have conversation with them and felt alone. That is why I wanted to tell them that I am different as a Japanese and wanted to try to be like American just for fun. Anyway, I could get a big laugh from classmates and enjoy a lot but I am pretty much sure that I still need improvement.
Event Design Experience
イベントデザイン
講義(英語)
2160分
This paper finally started on 17th of August. The content is like how to have good group meeting and how to develop creativity. We are taught "Free your mind"when you plan events. First assessment was to create any event and make slides about it as a group. Now we are preparing for presentation about an event and going to have meeting by ourselves. The event is quite similar to New Year countdown event in New York. On the presentation day, we are going to slowly drop light ball and count down with classmates. After reaching zero, we will start spraying perfume, throw glitter in the air and pop party popper.
