The British Education

My parents always say my English proficiency should have been improved dramatically since I have stayed in American college for almost half a year, but in fact it is not as they can imagine especially when it comes to U.S. Education wise speaking, there is no way I can increase my English proficiencies out of course works of Economics because they do not require much to read and write; however, if I have done the same things in British college, it would be completely the opposite situation. If they wanted me to improve my English proficiency, why would not they encourage me to go to a British college? It is simply because they would not know the fact I talk about. They do not know anything about outside of Japan; meanwhile they talk and be decisive about the things they do not know only with the source of their imaginations. It is pretty ridiculous.

The morning of Feb 18th

The morning I wake up at 7:56. I went to bed last night around 7pm; so technically I ended up with sleeping about 13 hours. I did not brush my teeth because I was only supposing to have a nap went I reached to my best in the last evening. Around the same time I woke up, my room mate next to me woke up too and started to take shower. Yes, I can hear everything thanks to the paper thin wall of ERC and I-house. There is no privacy we can expect; you can hear every single noise your neighbours make so evidently they hear yours. It has been huge stresses for my stay in UCSD but I have to deal with it in anyway because I cannot release the housing contract. I can release it for the Spring quarter but I know it will not help that much in comparison to off campus in current situation anyway.

I am rather settled and adapted to this living environment. So, should be so happy.

Bookstore at UCSD

I happened to have less stock of lead of my pencil then I went to UCSD bookstore on the way back from the midterm in Centre Hall. After I picked up the lead I found the half off section of t-shirts. there were tempting because I wanted those with UCSD logos and they also can be nice souvenirs to Japan. The original costs of t-shirts were from 15 to 25. So, it gets to be half off, however, even so I need to spend couple of ten bucks for the total purchase which turns out to be a bit of expenditure. Then I came up with the idea that the sale like this can be coming up after the Spring quarter which is about the time I need to go back to Tokyo, so I can buy quantities of souvenirs around that time even though, I am not sure that kind of thing can be going on. Meanwhile, what I basically had in my mind was that it was a little too early to think about souvenirs for the next summer in February.
At the end of entire shopping time about the 30 minutes I bought one nice t-shirt, leads and a neck strip for my keys and cards to replace the old FUJI SPEEDWAY's one.

The second midterms

I had second midterms today. They were Public Finance and Macroeconomics which both were at pretty fair in the level of difficulty. Especially, comparing to the last midterm of Public Finance, the one I had this time was way easier to solve. I am absolutely relieved today for the end of midterms and the way they went. Considering the fact that I had a rough night of sickness and insomnia yesterday, today's performance was something way beyond of what I could have expect to myself.

The dislike of the home country

My accumulative disappointments to my home country is pretty rigid to be conquered by by any seduction and refutation; however, I have got something to say about the problem of the detachment to my home country. In fact my country is not so bad as I can logically say because there are so many worth examples I can pick up to make them my home country such as China, North Korea, poor African countries etc... I should see more bright sides of what I born with. That can be the easiest way to make myself happier.

The excellence of the cleaning as it posted

The black cleaning guy in I-house never have cleaned as suffice or as at all. He is of course, causing a lot of troubles with residents. Today, I heard a British guy complaining at him when I was at stairs and found the door of a random room open. The excuse he always uses to everyone is that he has an extra apartment to clean. He always insists the excuse though, when has he built a new I-house building? I would like to see the extra building which keeps him so busy.
