7th week (5/21~5/28)

Augh, a lot of due of homeworks are near at hand...x(
I don't have confidence to finisi note of TOMATS by 6/4...x(

But I will do my best.


This week we learned more about argumentative writing.
We deepened understanding of logical fallacy, assumption,and so on.
However, I can't get the image of argumentative writing. I can't imagine actually how to write it.
So I want to see the whole text example of argumentative writing.
Not just one sentence example.
And as I learn logical fallacy, I recognized that I had been made many mistakes in my writing.
I'm afraid that if I write argumentative writing, I will be too careful about fallacies to write.
I will not be able to write anything.
So I think I have to used to it little by little.


Tomorrow , I have a game of AFC at Tokyo Kogyou Univrsity.
I've never seen football game live.
So I'm looking forward to see it:)

This is all for today.
Thank you for reading;)

6th week (5/17~5/21)

This week was little bit busy ^^;
I start doing manger in AFC.
It is veeeerry tough work, but I'm learning a lot.

Well, this week's study about "fallacy" was interesting, because I didn't know that there were a name of sentences or statement which is illogical and stereotyped.
And the most I ineterested in was "red herring."
I saw this word in the book called "Murder on the Orient Express" and "And Then There Were None", written by Agatha Christie.
They are series of Poirot.

In "And Then There Were None", an American traditional folk song called "Ten Little Indians" is a base of this story.
The word "red herring" appears in this song.
I think this word is the key word in this story.
If you are interested, please read this book:)

I search why "red herring" is used as this meaning.
People used red herrings in the training of hunting dogs to catch the scent of games. They used to delude dogs.

Mmmnnn, interesting:)

This is all for today.
Thank you for reading♪

5th week (5/10~5/15) retreat**

This time, I'm going to write about retreeeeaaaat!:)


I spent a full time in retreat.
In the bus, we did kind of quiz and our team won first place:)
After arriving at the hotel, we had dialog session.
Before doing this, I had thought it was such a bother. However, it was not.
We talked about why we had decided to come to university and had chose ICU.
I think everybody was talking honest feelings.
Professor in our group told us to distress or be worried about our life is very precious, because it is unable to do when we grow up.We still have a lot of time in the future.
It is delightful thing.


In the night, section mates gathered and chat for more than 4 hours!
Some were talking about love and some were just lying around.
Marie's story was very funny!
I felt Natsue and I have some common point:) (Sorry Natsue...
We were very relaxed and deepened friendship more.

We had pleasant time, I think;)<3

After chatting with section mates, I met high school friend and played cards.
We did game called mutimillionaire. And we made a rule that who put out the jack have to act like the aged from then.
It was very funny.

I went to bed 5:00am and wake up at 6:30.
Next day was veeeeeerrrrrrrrry sleepy!
I spent all his spare time sleeping.

I joined Kirigamine recreation and ate milk soft ice cream. Not vanilla. Milk.
It was very delicious!<3<3<3


I was very tired, but I enjoyed retreat!
I was retreat committee and in charge of the brochure.
It was hard work.
However, it became good memory.
I am glad to participate in the committee.


We have full days next week x(
aah , I have to decide topic of essay!
I have to do homeworks! I have to read Old Man and Sea!
I am pulled back to reality.....


byebye;)
see you Monday!

4th week (5/2~5/7)

Do we have to write a blog for 4th week??
Well, I gonna write several things.

Meiland is drawing to a close.
I think the part about an argumentative writing is different from other parts of this texts.
Because other parts are about his idea about university and argumentatitive part is more practical contents. He mentions about more detail skill.

I have to read 17~31 again, because I don't understand really.
The problem is I didn't write paraphrasing or note in the margin as I read.
I realized again that writing makes ideas clear and stable.

And I am wondering which topic to use in the essay X(
I'm going to think without haste.

Phew, retreat work tires me a lot!! :(
But I have to stick it out.

sleepy.....

Good night;)
