Summer Vacation!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!!!


My summer vacation had started from Tuesday!!!!

I am finally FREE!!!!

The tests we had were very hard and it was very difficult...
Well, I did all I could, so there is no regret.


In the spring semester, I took too many classes, so I am thinking of decreasing the number of classes in the next semester. The reason for me taking too many classes was that I choose three classes which will pick random people with fixed number of students for a class. The number of people who were willing to take those classes were so large that I thought I will not be chosen for at least one of the classes. However, I was too lucky. The school had chosen me for all three classes... I was TOO luck that I even feel that I am unlucky...

It sounds like it is contradicting, doesn't it?
All the classes were very interesting and I do understand why the classes were so popular. But taking too many classes will mean there will be many mid-term, finals, and reports.


Anyways, I now feel that I am getting used to Sophia University.
I really enjoyed the spring semester.


During the summer vacation, I am planning to hang out with my friends in the university, friends from my high (and middle) school, and friends from elementary school!!!

Some of the friends that I am planning to play with are those who I have not seen for more than ten years!!! I wonder how they have changed like!

Also, I will go to my circle and the summer camp held by my circle!!!

Can't wait!!

Poem of Yourself

About Mari Miyazawa

There was a girl named Mari Miyazawa

who used to be called Mary Miyazawa.

Among her friends, she was short, and she was small

and when being taught, she became dull.

She is lazy

as well as crazy.

But there are times when she feels sad

and times when she feels mad.

This is all I have written at this point.
I might revise or all something to it sometime because I get the feeling that some of the words do not suit very much.

By writing this poem, I thought that writing a poetry was much harder than I had expected.


Thank you

Debate

Hello.

In the last article I wrote about the debate and the summer picnic of my circle and I said that I will write more in the next article. So here I am!!!

The debate held between the students from the Tokyo University and the Sophia University, called the "UT-exchange", was about the abolishment of the death penalty in Japan. I personally think that there should be death penalty because I believe that this is what are being a deterring factor of murders and other criminals. However we had to do two debate games standing on both the affirmative side and the negative side.

The game is held between two pairs and a judge, so there are five people who participated in each game. My pair was a girl named Emi, who is a really smart girl!!! She supported me a lot and I think that I was very lucky to have her as the partner. In the result, we won the first game which we took role from the negative side but had lost the second game from the point of the affirmative side. I seriously owe a lot to Emi and I feel that I could not have done such a great game without her help. Even though we had lost in the second game, I did my best and there is no regret about it.

What had made me most excited about the whole UT-exchange was that my group, Emi and I, had won the fourth prize, which was the best score of the pair from the Sophia University!!!!! I was seriously amazed at this!! It is very honorable to get such prize and I am very proud of it. I seriously thank Emi, my best partner for doing all the works with me!!

ESS

Last Sunday, I had an English debate with the students from the Tokyo University.

It was one of the events in my circle ESS and that was a lot of fun, although it was very difficult. We had a debate on the topic of "the death penalty should be abolished or not".
We had two debates and we had to do both affirmative side and the negative side.

It was taken place in the Touyou University (I don't know why). The debate was done all in English. I strongly feel that the students from the Sophia University did a wonderful job!!

Each debate was done between pairs of two people. Although my pair couldn't get a first place, we got the forth place, which was the best score the students in the Sophia University got!!!


This Saturday, there was another event by the ESS. It's called the Summer Picnic. I had such a fun time! I wish I can go back to yesterday!! However today, it seems like I have caught a cold...
I will write about the Picnic more on the next blog article, so please wait!!
Bye!!
