あ～、

めざしが食べたい！

じわじわと、

予習復習が大変になってきました、が。

3 weeks have passed since the classes begun. I usually attend 2-3 classes a day. When I was in a university in Japan, I never studied before and after classes. But here, it's a must... But that doesn't mean I hate it, rather, I enjoy it. 

These days I'm often seized by happiness, say, when I'm in a classroom, in a library, chatting, running along the riverside, or playing tennis with my friends. The fact that I'm doing what I've been longing for makes me feel blissful. I feel like I'm blessed by fortune. 

Sometimes fatigue or lonesome feeling come to my mind. Still, the baseline is very happy and it's firm.

I changed my courses. I decided to lessen my burden from 22.5 credits to 20.0 credits and take more classes about research methods.
