Interview

Today I went to an architectural office to have an interview for internship.
To speak straight, I got an opportunity to work for this company!!!!

Last night I was quite nervous, but the interview was really familiar for me because of the interviewers.
They are so easy to approach and the interview was like a small talk.
It must be a good opportunity for my future, but I cannot make a decision.
Today I also got an email from the museum which I mentioned before.
I'm not sure to get an opportunity of an interview but it is possible.

Anyways, I'm highly happy to get the opportunity!!!

100!!!

Wow!!
This is the 100th posting in my blog!
Finally it reached though more than a half year has passed away.
I deeply appreciate you to keep reading my blog:)

By the way, recently I have often confused dreams with realities.
I didn't have a dream so much formerly, but recently I have realistic one.
How come I have dreams so much?
A dream makes me confused and sometimes I cannot sleep deeply.
Although I wanted to have a dream once, sometimes it is annoying.
Well, tonight what kinds of dreams do I have?

Kicking off

Finally I applied to one of the companies for an opportunity of internship.
I got an email from this company and it seemed to be okay.
So this week or next week I'm going to take an interview.
I am so nervous now but indeed this company is not my first choice.
Of course I want to work at this company as well because I am interested their projects, which is not only architecture but also urban design and landscape.
However my first choice is related to arts.
I am much more interested in arts, especially curatorial work.
So I am going to apply to one of the museums around here.
It makes me more nervous.
Now what I can do is just do what I have to do.
So I do my best and I hope to bring a good message.

Keep doing

As you might know I am weak of will and so I have often given up doing halfway.
However this time I am determined to do a few things.

1. Get up at 8 at least
2. Keep running for a minimum of 30 minutes at the gym every morning (only weekdays)
3. Do stretching after taking bath everyday

It is so hard for me to keep doing everyday though these are too fundamental.

To keep doing gives me an opportunity to change.

Seattle Sounders

Today I went to the soccer match between Seattle Sounders and Chicago Fire with my friend.

I enjoyed the atmosphere in the Qwest Field, but the game was as boring as the game which I watched on the Internet last week with my friends.
The supporters was excited and gave players jeers a lot in this game today.
It was enjoyable for me but I don't like such supporters.
So I prefer watching games on TV to from the stand.
However I am glad to go to watch the game directly.
And next time I really want to go to Mariners' game!!!!

It's been a while!

It's been a while again since the sun showed up all day long last time.
(Actually from the evening the clouds have come out a little...)
Anyway I enjoyed the sunshine a lot today!!!
From tomorrow the sun may be hidden by clouds again.
And I don't know when the sun is coming out again.
I hope spring will be with us soon!!!

Nightmare

I seemed to have a nightmare.
I lost my precious thing yesterday.
It is really uncomfortable for me although I can live my life without it.
I wish it come back to me.

Fitness

I'm taking fitness class in this quarter.
This class allows us using a gym whenever I want.
Today I went to the gym first time and used treadmill for about 1 hour.
It was not fun but I decided to keep doing for my health.
And I made an appointment with a personal trainer next Wednesday.
So next week I can get my own training menu!!!
I do not only study but also excercise in this quarter:)

Ultimately

I decided not to take architecture class but to take the history of Western art class.
I attend the art history class and I thought it must be fun.
However it must be hard as well because the teacher require that we have to read a lot of reading assignments.
Unless we read them, we can't pass the random quizzes which will not be announced.
Even if we don't have any quizzes I should read them because it must be helpful to me to get internship.
Anyway I'm really excited about this class because I've never study the modern art history specially.

Tomorow

Finally my credit classes begin tomorrow.
I am nervous a little because one is related to architecture.
I have some knowledge about architecture but it might be different from a class in Japan according to my experience in Winter quarter.
However I am still excited to take that class because I may be able to learn architecture in another aspect.
In fact I'm not sure yet that I can take this class.
I'm still on the Wait List.
(At first I was #9 but now it becomes better because I'm #1.)

Also I take the class of the history of Western art(the beginning of 18 Century to the the late 20 Century)
I love art so it must be fun for me!!!

I want not only to get some knowledge but also to enjoy this quarter.
