Japanese Universities

First of all,

What does "perform badly" mean??


Many of Japanese university students think that all they have to do in University is passing courses and getting required credits.
so,many don't really care wheather what they learn in that course or how usuful subject is to them. All they care is how easily they can get credits.
So studnts are likely to choose the courses that teacher doesn't take atendance,and give us greade by handing in only one final report or taking a final exam.

I hate this kind of system.I don't wanna take classes that I am not interested in or is not useful to me no matter how easy that class is. So I don't like teacher who judges student's grade by only one final test/report marks.
It's totally my opinion,but getting bad marks doesn't mean 'perform badly'
For me,not attending class and wish for credits are much worse.
I don't think it's good idea.
Skipping classes sometimes are okay,of course I do,too! We all feel lasy to go to class. But,not attending all classes are a different story. If you don't go to class,what's the point of coming to University even though ur parents is paying lots of many for us?

However,I think teacher should check the prosess that the students take.
you know waht I'm trying to say??>_<
hmm.. anyway,the important thing is how much efforts that student puts in that class.
In order words,even how high mark you get on the test without attending a class,I would say he/she 'perform badly'
what do you think??

oh! Btw,since I am not a 'perfect student' I can't say much though..^^;;

scary stuff.

hmm...I started not to be scared of ghost or those stuff at sometime.

well,when I was little,I couldn't go wash room or up stair after watching scary TV program.I always asked my dad to come where ever I go,even to a wash room.haha

One day,my dad wasn't at home,but I watch some scary stuff on TV(accidentally..),so I asked my older brother to turn on all the lights in the house while I clime up stairs to the 2nd floor. But when I reached to the middle of stairs,he suddenly turned off all the lights!! Of course,ON PURPOSE!! I got really scared and yelled at this evil brother 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! TURN ON THE LIGHT PLZ PLZ PLZ!!' X<
He was laughing at me crying ;( How terrible he is.

But I know he was the one who couldn't sleep by him self!lol What a BOY!

Cultural difference

Since I've studied abroad for 3 years I must have experienced lots of cultural differences...but,hmm.. can't really think of it X(

I remember one thing. About aniverseries.
In Japan, couples are usually celeblate their aniversaries once a month(I mean they have aniverseries per one month.)But I heard from one of my korean friend,she said that in Korea,they celeblate each 100days.(per 100days?)so first aniversary is gonna be hold on 100th day since they started going out.
It's different system as Japan. Many of Japanese couples celebrate on each months.Also how they celeblate is much more romantic I thought.
Are they influenced by romantic korean dramas??

My favorite subjects

hmm...
Basically,I am not good at subjects like just sitting on the chair and study.
You know what I mean?? I like subjects that use hands and creativity.

When I was in a high school,I loved Art class and baking class.
Do you know what baking class is??
Baking class is like a cooking class but we only make cakes and breads.
In that class, teacher gives each of us a recipe and we have to work individually.
I've made cheese cakes,cookies,muffins,Cinnamon rolls,and so on.
Teacher just watch us making and sometimes give us advises.
Half of the products that we made are sold in school cafeteria at cheap price and we can take the other half of it to home.

I think studying Math,English or these kind of subjects are very important,but subjects that let us gain creativity and a particular skill are also pretty useful to live in real life.

By the way this cake is what I made in the baking class:)

SUMMER

After a long looooong summer vacation,it's pretty hard to bring myself back to school work.
I cannot read English sentence now as fast as I could before.

Actually, I deserve it since I didn't study at all during the summer.haha
It's gonna take little more time to get used to English-environment again.:P


As I told in class,I enjoyed traveling during summer vacation.
First of all, I went to Nagano with my dad,my bro's wife,and her daughter(2yeas old). Nagano is my dad's home town.
I go there almost every summer to see my grandma and grandpa.I love visiting there.
Whenever we go there,they welcome us warmly with delicious food.
Dishes that my grandma make are really yummy and are also so healthy.
Full of veggys:) So I always ask her for recipes and learn how to cook.(I love cooking~!I think I can be a good wife in future♪ lol XD )
anyway,
I really recommend Nagano as the place to stay in summer.
Weather is much better than Osaka,and many place to sight see such as Karuizawa.

Also I went Vietnam and Korea.But I've already talked about these trip so I won't talk about it here^^

It seems that each classmates had great summer:)
And now the season is sifting to Fall.Yay!
My favorite season of the year is coming.
Let's enjoy together;)

Summer vacation is right there!!

For me,I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna do.
there are many things that I wanna do during the summer vacation.

First of all,I wanna change my part-time-job. haha
Where I'm working now is too busy although it wage is low. X(
The works are very tough.
second,I wanna travel somewhere in Asia.
I might go to Malaysia with my mom.I really hope I can go there.
