Back to September – October in 2017

-September-

I had to keep myself busy with something or go crazy… Summer vacation, which means busy season at work for me, was over, and I had a few days off… Then I got hit with anxiety. I thought I would go to see a doctor, but I didn’t feel like going out even to do so…

However, I had to study French. I’m not good at French… I didn’t think that was going to end well. I tried to concentrate on studying French. I went to a café or a restaurant and studied hard.

At the end of the month, I went to see Collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Bruegel’s “The Tower of Babel” and Great 16th Century Masters in Osaka.

I don’t have a detailed knowledge about arts but am interested in them. Above all, Morikawa-san was in charge of a narration in the audio tour, and I wanted to listen to it!!!

I really enjoyed the exhibition. Thanks to the audio tour, I was able to know what it was like in the 16th century, when Bruegel lived, who he was, and what inspired him. His drawings are precise and had a real and a dream world… There were many monsters on the pictures. On the other hands, “The Tower of Babel” was so beautiful! Great work!

Morikawa-san entertained me with various kinds of voices… I sometimes laughed when he acted Tarao, Mascot (ahaha).

Tarao is odd… not so cute. But he became popular and went to the Netherlands (wow)!

It was one of the best experiences in 2017! I had a lot of fun☆

-October-

I was just preparing for the French exam in November. Grade 2 was difficult. We need to get about 65% scores to pass, but I got less than 50% at that time…

Back to June – August in 2017

I received a ticket for a recital, Hamlet… The number is good! It’s like a Christmas Present for me. I’m so happy～☆

-June-

I went to Kyoto to take the French exam (Futsuken Grade Pre-2, CEFR: A2), primary one… and passed it!

-July-

I went to Kyoto to take the secondary exam (interview). At first, I visited Star-Myu Café…

Then I had lunch at a French restaurant at Kyoto University to put more spirit into it☆

Actually, I had never talked in French (ahaha)… I don’t have any chance to speak French in my daily lives, so I was a bit nervous. But I did well and passed the exam!

-August-

I decided to take Futsuken Grade 2 (CEFR: B1). But Grade 2 is much more difficult than Pre-2. There were lots of unknown words in the textbook. I was almost at a loss but I worked hard.

Back to May in 2017

-May-

I found something was wrong.

Despite the hard times was over, I was still depressed. In fact, just listening to music made me frustrated. Why?

In the previous fall, I wanted to work on my graduation thesis, so I asked my boss not to give me job offers. However, I don’t know why, I got too many offers, which made me completely sick.

I had worked from morning to evening then studied at a restaurant at midnight every day. My sleeping hours had been about 3 hours for 5 years…. Finally, I crossed the boundaries. Something was broken down in my body… I came to want to kill myself…

On the other hand, I had thought I would be free when I submitted the thesis, so I managed to put up with the hard work. However, I got too much stress… and I couldn’t come back easily.

I didn’t want to be bothered by others and got nervous about telephones, going out and meeting someone else. I just stayed at home except going to work.

I needed to have my confidence back. I thought that was the key to get out of depression. So, I studied French hard for the exam.
