Untitled?

On next weekend, 2/22/09, we karate club members have an examination of karate. We have the examination only two times during a year. So, I want to be promoted my rank smoothly. The members have to show their karate kata and ruled kumite. The kumite is a kind of practice of basic skills. Yesterday, we had practice and focused kata practice. We did the practice like as same as the examination. When a person is doing kata, other members watch the kata and after the person finished kata, the members who watched the person’s kata give advice to the person. My kata has not many points that should solve. However, some points were found that I must solve before the examination. These my week points are when I do fast movement, it usually become carelessly and also my footwork when I do kick. I think I must fix these points before the examination, but we have only one more time for practice. Therefore, I worry about my kata and the examination.

Nowaday, I like to read Zaregoto series. Its series are written by Nishio Ishin. Zaregoto in English means kind of joke, but the stories are not kind of jokes. These books are kind of suspense or mystery I think. In the story, many interesting characters are in there. Such as a person with a bankrupt character (Main character is kind of this), a bloodthirsty killer, and a person who withdrawal but she is genius in information science, etc. The story main character, he is called E chan (no proper noun), is always involved in the incidents. The story is usually not really happy ending. However, I think not bad ending. It is difficult to explain. So, you should try to read the Zaregoto series! It is very interesting book! (But these books select readers).

Since this Sunday, I will live in the dormitory. Only six or five days left!! I feel uneasy to the life in dormitory. In addition, there is the internet can not used at 12 o’clock. However, I usually use the internet for reading some novels until 2 o’clock. So, I feel unsatisfied about it. Also, there is not much space in the room so I can bring only a few books. If I can, I want to bring more books that I have. I really like to read novels. However, I also interested in the life of the dormitory. Therefore, I try to live in there for practice of the living when I go to the Keio University.

Today in English class, all class students watched Shrek the third. It was really funny. Many jokes make us fun! I watched Shrek and Shrek 2 so I really felt funny. The movie sometimes used actions that used in other movies. The story was happy ending, like common fairy tale story. Just the different is that human prince (Charming) died and ogre becomes happy. But it is interesting because it is different from common fairy tale story.

F's daily blog

Now I am a member of Karate club because I liked and wanted to do the martial arts. I want to do more other martial arts such as aikido, kendo, archery, etc. Therefore, I plan to join the martial arts clubs in the Keio University. However, I have some problems to do it.

The Keio University has many clubs and associations. The martial arts clubs are not so many, but popular martial arts clubs in there. I plan to join these clubs, especially archery club. The Keio University has three archery clubs. One is a club that can join only the medical students. One another are a club that is located on Hiyoshi. And last one is an association that its members practice at sports center (May be nearby Mita). I want to go to SFC. Therefore, I want to join the archery club on Hiyoshi because it is closer than other two clubs.

Last week end, three consecutive holidays, my family except me went to Boston city. I just stay at home. Why? Because I don’t interested about go to Boston. Then I stayed at home and did homework (such as to read English book, to finish up worksheet, etc). And I play TV (PC) games. Nowaday, I usually play Melty Blood that is a pc game I introduced in blog. I really like that game, especially characters and their skills & actions. Always I use Shiki Nanaya which is my favorite character. Nanaya uses very tricky actions and skills. And also can use very fast moving skills and actions. Therefore I like to use Nanaya. I enjoyed this weekend!

Today, 2/17, math test was given back to us. The math test’s average was 72. My score was 86. AMAZING!! Before the test came back, I think I will get F rank score on the test. So, when I saw the score, I really was happy and surprised about the test. Then I hope my economics’ test will be good grade. The economics’ test was not yet given back to us. Therefore, I feel some uneasiness.

In addition, I have a group work project in the economy class. The project is that we have to research and compare three countries (Japan, the U.S., and another country). Our group has to research and compare about Japan, the U.S., and Taiwan. However, we have to research too many things about these countries such as these countries’ population, geography, interest rate, etc. It is very hard, I think. So, I don’t like this project…

From March 1st 2009, I will live in the dormitory because my family, except my father, return to Japan because my younger sister takes a test to admit to Japanese high school. My father will go to a distant post unaccompanied by us. So, I sometimes think about the living of dormitory.

I will enter B1 dormitory. Konto will become my roommate. I don’t yet greet him about the entry. Therefore, I plan to greet to him about one week before the entry.

The midwinter exercise

Since this Monday, Karate and Kendo club started midwinter exercises. It starts at 6:00 AM and finish at 7:00 AM. The midwinter exercises continue during all of this week (2/2-2/8). Today is 2/4, so half of the midwinter exercises are gone!! I want the midwinter exercises to finish as soon as possible. Because I really sleepy everyday in this week!

I am commute student from Connecticut. The exercise starts 6:00 AM, so I have to awake at 5:00 AM everyday in this week without Sat. and Sun. When I got up, I get out of my room and go down stairs. Then I eat breakfast. After that, I get ready for going to the school. Then my parents (my mother or father) send me to the school. Usually I arrive at the school at 5:45-50 AM. The members of Karate club usually assemble at 5:50. So, I usually run to gym and change the clothes into the uniform of Karate.

After all members together, at first we stand in a row and do meditation. Next we do warming up exercises. We usually do it about 10 – 15 minutes. Then we start the practice of basic Karate skills. These skills use for attacking. Also, we practice defense skills. The practice is that we use the defense skills and move forward and backward. When finished the practice, we have some rests. Then after that, we practice Karate kata. But, we can practice that only once because the midwinter exercise has only one hour. We don’t have enough time to do it more than once. When we finished the practice, we stand in a row like first we did.

Now, last Sat., midwinter exercise was over!! On Sunday, Karate and Kendo club had the close of a run of the midwinter exercise. However, I had hives. So, I couldn’t go to.

This is the first time I join the exercise completely because I am commute student. In last year, I couldn’t go to the exercise because of snow. Therefore, I glad that I could go to the exercises completely.
