Cold place.. 寒い場所

. . . .can you.. ..imagine it? Waking up alone in that place without light? It’s horrible. You try to speak but your whispering voice simply receives no echo. “Where are the walls, the barriers?” you wonder.. ..but, that’s only the beginning. You’re not falling so there’s definitely something under you. But.. .. it’s not hard or soft, damp or dry.. it seems to be just, just there. Where are you?

出来る？　想像出来るかな？　その光のない場所で起きている？　最低だ。　話そうとするけど君の囁いている声はただ響かなかった。　“壁と結界はどこか？”とおもっている。。　。。けど、これから話が始まる。　落ちていないので確かに君の下になにかがある。　でも。。　。。硬くないし柔らかくないし、湿っぽくないし水気のないし　ただ存在しているだけだそうだ。 今どこにいる？

Actually I am not giving you the answer sorry.

実は答えをもらえないから、ごめんね。

This is a copy of an email I received from my school back in America in case anyone is wondering whether I am keeping up on the happenings in America or not.

4-20-2007

President Bush has requested that bells toll across America for the victims
of this week's tragic Virginia Tech shooting. Accordingly, UNO's
Henningson Campanile will toll its bells for one minute beginning at 11
a.m., followed by a moment of silence and memorial service at the Campanile
with UNO campus ministries.

Basically, I am proud to point out that my school is taking time to do their part.

Comparing Japan and America again. You know when we want to tally something in America we use like a 5 line shaped thing that looks like a fence? When the Japanese go to tally something they use a certain Kanji because it has 5 strokes; 正.

Sorry guys, I really have been out of it again. It was Golden week last week. That means one week and no school. Just my luck of course, I caught a cold so I spent the first couple days in bed and the rest trying to get enough studying done to survive the next week.

Short addendum... golden week was last last week... the week following Golden week ended today.. There's another festival going at at Shizuoka but I need to study so I will not be able to go at all.

As far as school is going, it is slowly becoming easier to read my Economics book and Statistics book, instead of looking up about 30+ words a page, I only have to look up about 10-15. Well, that’s until I start the next chapter.. .. chapter beginnings seem to have lots of new vocabulary.

On the plus side I finally got to see some of my Friends from the Shizuoka Summer Tour last year. Six of us got together and went bowling. That was a blast. The funniest part was the score screen was called “Mario Bowl.”

Oh yeah, and the spiders are coming out again.. slowly but surely. Joy oh joy.

Later.
