finally @ Saturday, July 18, 2009

i'm done with my exams for this semester!

The previous week indeed was a pain...

4000words essay due on Monday
Two final exams on Wednesday (Not open-book, piles of notes to study from)
Presentation and a Research Proposal on Friday

Moreover, i had part-time work everyday xD

But I've survived it! I'll spend the money I've earned during the exam period to get myself a pair of swimming suit for the summer camp　合宿.
Well, after this semester, I've found out that I really lack the knowledge of modern Japanese history, the legal system and diplomatic relations of Japan. I guess I have more to learn, and to research on my own. Anyway! I'm looking forward to the MOFA seminar next Friday, and the 5 days Global Seminar scheduled in early September.
Getting accepted in the Global Seminar was a encouraging news I received during the exam period, cos I heard it got more competitive this year, with many students applying from Waseda. Only 5 students from Waseda can get accepted if I remembered correctly.
I thought i screwed up the application essay but what matters was that I wrote my essay in English and explained how I would like to relate this seminar to my future careers.

So, tada! 5 whole days going to be spent in Shonan(Kanagawa) together with students from other universities, and the theme this year would be East Asian diplomacy.

For the time being, my schedule is filled with studies for gaisen, part-time job(really busy with the summer supplementary classes), and of course some leisure :)

Oh I forgot I have another essay to write by next Monday :s

All the best to Karpie who is having his entrance exam for graduate school (><)

why can't you? Saturday, July 18, 2009
