Summer events


















夏のイベントがいくつか終了。登山、諏訪湖の花火大会、帰省。
花火は、じーふーとかんちゃんと3人で鑑賞。迫力のある音と空気の振動、火薬の匂い、降ってくる灰、これぞ夏、という一夜でした。

帰省して、瑞樹(姪)のジャンピングフォトも撮りました。思ったとおり、大興奮。ちなみに紙の力士は、瑞樹のお気に入りのおもちゃです。

There were some summer events. Hiking, Suwako Firework Festival , Seeing my family.
The Firework Festival was great. It was really an impressive summer night.
Seeing my niece, Mizuki, I took some jumping pictures of her, and my Dad. As I expected, they got really excited! The paper sumo-wrestler dolls are her favorite friends.

The Seminar is over!

1週間以上にわたるセンター研修がやっと終わり、解放されました!勉強したくないのに無理やりさせられるってこんな気持ちなんだなぁ、ってしみじみ感じます。研修中感じたことはとてもたくさんあって、言葉にするのが難しいんだけど、落ち着いたらまた書くとして。今の私は開放感を味わうほうが優先!

1-week seminar at the education center is over now. I AM FREE FROM TODAY! Now I understand the students' feeling well, who hates studying but is forced to do it. During the seminar, I was thinking about a lot of things, such as speaking foreign languages, communicating with other people, why I learn languages, what I really like or what kind of people I really hate. It is hard to explain my thoughts now, so I should write about it later, maybe. For the moment, I AM FREE!!!!
