May disease?

Hello! How is it going?
I’m fine, because I had something exciting last week and I'm getting rid of May disease!

Yes, I’m a little ill with May disease. Though I'm always likely to sleep late and capable of being late, I was too often late in these week. That’s wrong! I have to correct this habit right now... Well, as soon as possible. I’m sorry, I would like to quit this bad habit certainly, but I can't sure I can do it. Since I was at junior high school, I had been late so always that I was said to be well-known for lateness in our grade. Thanks to the great number of my lateness, all of my teachers seem to be troubled about promotions and all the like. I cannot apologize and thank them too much! Thank you!
Oh, that reminds me. Recently, one of my former teachers called me up and left messages on the answering-machine. She taught English to me in the third year of high school and made me enter the university. I’m greatly obliged to her for her instruction. Even so, why she called me? What she tried to tell me? ...Yes, I’ll give her another call soon. ...What she wants me??

By the way, I’ll talk about something exciting in these days.
Last Thursday I had a first practice with the band!
To my regret, one of the members absented himself from practice, in order to go to the live of his favorite artist. However, because he is the vocal, we could practice instrumental ensemble. That’s very fun! And I think we could do it better than I had expected. We could play it for the last, though the drums and I, the bass, are beginners! (Though the drums is beginner, he is a senior and has played another instrument.) That’s very happy for me! Besides, the members praised me for playing! While perhaps it might be flattery, I was so delighted! It was also nice that we talked over dinner after practice.
By the way, we played RADWIMPS’s “masu.” in this practice, which is the song I recommended as one of the four songs, we’re going to play in the June Concert. Then last Monday, we finished deciding the other songs. These are Get up Kids’s “Holiday”, Arch Enemy’s “Silver Wing”, and Thee Michelle Gun Elephant’s “Abakareta Sekai”. I have never listened to most of these songs and I’m glad to listen to songs unknown to me. I’m practicing these songs hard at present! Yeah!

Besides, I’m getting accustomed to my part-time job in the supplementary private school and becoming to be able to enjoy it. To be honest, it is hard for me to work without the induction courses that the new teachers are to take. I didn’t know what and how I have to do, and I couldn’t be familiar with the coworkers and the students. Though that’s very hard situation for me, now, after the inductions and the welcome party, I can find enjoyment in my work. So, besides I had additions of my students, I’ll do my best more than ever before!

In addition, in the evening of the day before yesterday, I saw my best friend again and talk over dinner. We stayed in the restaurant for five hours indeed! We had nothing special, but the talk didn’t run out and the time ran out before we know it anyway. Are we fools? Then, we promised to go Tokyo Disney Land in next Sunday. I’m looking forward to it! But I worry a little about my strength. I know I should build up my health, but I don’t like exercise except a walk. I know I’m wrong but I can’t help it.

May all tomorrows bring us happiness!
See you ;)

Unexpected Holidays :-)

Hello. While measles is about, are you fine? I wish you would not have measles.
I’m all right because of several vaccinations in childhood. Thank you, my dear parents!
Well, I got sudden holidays for a week that is longer than golden week! Besides, these holidays are unexpectedly very expansive and greatly nice.
Am I imprudent? If so, I’m sorry.
But the epidemic of measles is very good opportunity to get a mail from a friend of mine who are preparing for the entrance examinations to enter a national medical school after she graduated from high school with me. She seemed to care about me, thankfully. I hope she succeeds in the entrance examination of next year and I believe it.

Now, I’ll talk about my happy events.
First, I saw my best friend and stayed with her the next weekend of the day we were informed of the unexpected holidays. We have been friend from junior high school and I can tell her anything. After graduation from high school, she entered a technical collage of interior design. I was dearly happy to saw her because I haven’t seen her for a long time since we graduated from high school. We chatted all night unawares, but we wouldn’t be tired. Though I said we didn’t weary in the night, as you expected we came sleepy during the daytime.
Anyway, we amused each other and I realized I could quite relax with her. I hope to see her at no distant date. So we promise to go to Tokyo Disney Land together in next month because both of us haven’t visited there for a long time.

The next Monday, I got a bass guitar!
The color of the bass is cream and its pick guard is red. This pretty design attracted me. I really wavered between it and another one whose body is blue and pick guard is brown. I also like this design, but I made up my mind to get cream one with some advice of my seniors who visited together to help the freshmen including me, who would like to get new instruments.
Then I bought the bass, I couldn’t take it home because I had a part-time job after evening. So I had to come to the shop again to take my bass in another day. Besides I also had to buy a bass amplifier, and I had no knowledge of it. Accordingly I asked two friends of mine in the club to come and help me to choose an amplifier.
In next day, we met around the Ochanomizu station, took my bass, shopped an amplifier and talked over snack in a first food restaurant. Then I gave them word cards and word books as my thanks for their coming, which when I studied for the examinations I bought but didn’t use. Why I did so is they said that they use these items to learn Russian before (They are in the department of Russian of our university).
At all, I was also glad to saw them :)
Now, I am at practice on the bass for the concert in June. I am looking forward to it, but I worry whether I can come to be able to play. Anyway, to sweep away the anxiety as well as to carry out the concert, I have to practice hard.

By the way, in these days I feel like going to an aquarium. No. I am eager to go to an aquarium somehow!
I said it so often as if I am a fool that a friend of mine was surprised. Excuse me! However, even for me this reason is unknown. I want to see fishes, aquatic mammals, starfishes and so on. I should go in the holidays of measles. Is there somebody who goes to an aquarium with me? However, on this occasion, I may go some aquariums alone on some Monday; I have classes only in the morning. It seems to be as happy as with friends on holiday. Anyway, I would like to see ingredient of sea foods... Why?
Also I feel like visiting a museum for example Ueno National Museum, and a zoo. How come? I cannot understand this feeling of mine. What for??

While weekday came back again, I’m so sleepy. That’s wrong. I have to take back the rhythm of living soon.
It’s already the time to go to bed.
See you again.

Music and I

Hi! How are you? Did you enjoy your golden week?

The first day of this golden week, I went to Takeshita Street, called by my friends.
I knew that in every golden week Takeshita Street is badly crowded.
I dislike crowd, so I opposed going there. However, one of my friends, who wanted to go there, persuaded me to give up and follow her.
As I expected, there are so many people that their heads looked like very big cloth.
This sight is strange enough for me to feel funny.
Why they came there while they knew this situation, though they couldn’t look goods and think about them adequately to choose?
I couldn’t think that they came there to buy clothes, but to see so many people!
Because our sight were filled with people! I was cracked up by the sight!
However I hate to enter the crowd anyway, so I left there right away and waited at another street where is not crowded until my friends finished to shop.
I couldn’t feel like shopping in such a crowd, differing from my friends.
Surely, I was happy to be with my friends, but I was tired out.

Instead, I had a lazily time next Friday and Saturday. I read my favorite comics and I could be refreshed. I love to read comics but I couldn’t have read them enough since I entered university. Then, I’m interested in a series of comics, “Honey and clover” now.
Besides, on Saturday I went to a CD rental shop and rented some CDs to which my friend recommended me to listen. One of the CDs is Franz Ferdinand’s “You Could Have It So Much Better”. In this CD, there is very famous a song as the BGM of commercial message of i-pod. Not to mention this song, the songs are very cool and exciting and delightful! Though they are certainly rock music and band music, they are also dance music! It is very new to me.
The other day, I bought a CD, Arctic Monkeys’ “Favorite Worst Nightmare”. I heard that they will play in the last of Summer Sonic after I bought it. I was convinced by this information. Their music is so wonderful! Lately, I’m fascinated with UK rock. Needless to say, I also love USA rock. They have different attractions, and I love both kinds of music. Simply my interest leans to UK rock now.

Well, some weeks ago an accident happened to my pretty guitar. The nut of my guitar came off when I was changing the old strings for the new strings! I was very surprised and confused with this happening, and I put back the nut and stick it with bond in panic. It seems to be no problem at the time, but I worried about it. Then, a few weeks ago I asked my seniors about it in the clubroom. They said that the safety of my guitar was lightly doubtful but repair was not needed for the present. In addition, some days ago I asked my friend of the club the same matter again. He said that as long as there is no trouble there is also no necessity to repair. However if I feel it too uneasy, I may need to have my guitar repaired to ease me of the anxiety. So far my guitar has no trouble, so I am using my guitar without repair.

Now, I will mention a meeting with my guitar.
I bought it on February of the second year of high school. Yes, it is the time we start to prepare for university entrance examination. So I used to go a cram school in Ochanomizu to take spring courses. In Ochanomizu, there are so many musical instrument shops. For a long time, I wanted a guitar or a bass guitar. However, in high school I have no friend who can talk about music and I gave up playing music and buying any musical instruments until I enter university. So I became to be anxious to get a guitar easily and I bought an acoustic guitar. (The reason why I would like a guitar instead of a bass guitar is that with an acoustic guitar I can enjoy on my own, but with a bass guitar I become to want someone to play music together.)

Oh, I filled out it!
See you next week :)
