これぞアメリカの大学らしい課題だ。以前に社会学のクラスを1つだけ取ったことがある。冬に取ったアメリカの“ギャング”のクラスだ。その時に読んだ " Gang Leader For A Day" という本でも、主人公の大学生がギャングに単身乗り込んでリサーチをすすめるという実際の話だ。そしてこの課題はかなり難しいものだとよく分かっていた。
実際に全てのデータ回収と分析後の Final Paper は“最低20ページ、最大の限度なし”というべらぼうな“大物”だった。それまでのぼくの最長は11ページ。まったくの未知の世界だ。シラバスを初めて読んだ時に Overwhelmed したのをよく覚えてる。けど一度も長いペーパーをやったことがなかった自分は不安ながらもとても喜びながら家に帰ったのだ。
“you put a lot of cream on it, huh?" "whipped cream?" "yeah, i loved it" "lol That's the best part!" (終始元気だ!) "yeah i know! i can't believe some people dont like it!" "yeah. (nodded) maybe it's too sweet." "That's the point!!!" "lol"
I can remember a dream every morning recently, so clearly. It's like I wake up to end the dream. My past friends/acquaintances always appear somehow in the dream, but some of them are not even close friends.
I belatedly flipped through my calendar to move on to October yesterday. I didn't like it, so threw that away, and chose this one that I could have some feeling of autumn. This artwork is exhibited at MoMA NY, so I might have seen it in person though i can't remember to my regret. That time was summer.
That was stunning when I learned that the essence of communism has been essentially deprived from the ancient religions as a worship of the collective power in a certain geographical community in Schmahl and Greece.
I guess since college animals went back to their original turf, it's ridiculously quiet outside every night.
Well, i've just started to remain the current situation in Chico cuz the graduation season makes me think about how many more days/months I can stay in the U.S..
Then what came up to my mind was if I can keep a diary after some of my friends left the U.S., you know. And I think actually i can because i had kept a diary for a couple of years before i started blogs. But it can't be helped to think the future blog would let me more turn inward on myself. Maybe not. But honestly, i hope it would be too actually.
So! That's to say, i wanna enjoy the best today and the rest of my golden time.
So, tomorrow, though i have an exam at noon, i can prepare enough before that, i guess. The problem is after that. i gotta finish 6 pages paper tomorrow and at least start to study another class for final which is the energy class. let's kick ass guys.
Man, can't believe only 3 days left. it's almost there. Things are always done like this.
何でもそうだけど、心が洗練された人間でなければ本当に優れた作品は作れない。一流の人間でなくては一流の作品は作れない。心が研ぎすまされた人でなくては、人の心の琴線にふれることができない。Marcus Miller (ギター)が言っていた。『You got 2 kinds of musicians, you know. You have some musicians who never make mistakes, and the music is perfect and incredible, you know. But you never feel at the edge of their abilities. Why they are always popular musicians is but they don't change the people's lives, you know. Musicians who can change people's lives are musicians who ones they play, you know, they are at the edge of what they can possibly do. And they might not make it. 』(Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwunScYI9tQ&feature=related)
