Feel the messages from cities

I explain the meaning of the title.

First, my boss at work told me that. He read a book and he was interested in a word in the book, and he explained that to me.

It's very interesting even for me.

Take an example of US.
If you are ready to sacrifice your life and want to make money, you should go to New York, not Boston or Silicon Valley.
If you are a high school student and are to start choosing a college, you should go to Boston.
If you want to doing something interesting, you should live in Silicon Valley. Instead, you can expect to get high salary.
You shouldn't live in Boston with thinking to make a lot of money.
You shouldn't live in New York with thinking to invent something new or interesting.

I think it's exactly true.
We need to choose places which match our lifestyle.
We should change the place when our priorities change.

What is the best place for you?

iPod classic

I bought iPod classic!!
I spent a part of my salary I got in the internship.

I came back home yesterday.
I have spent so much time with my iPod and computer yesterday and today.

I bought iPod classic and I will need huge space in my computer.
So, it was a good time to clear my computer.
I'm going to put a lot of movies on iTunes, so I moved all music data to my external storage.
And, I changed the main storage from C Drive to D Drive.
Also, I deleted some data.

Now, my computer works faster!

The Result

I took an English test the last month, and I got the result just a couple of minutes ago.
My score was 870 out of 990.

Honestly, I'm relieved when I saw my test score.
It is because I don't need to take the test again for a while, maybe while I'm a college student.
Usually, almost all college students take the test for job hunting in Japan.
Of course, I need to turn in the test score when I apply for companies.
I decided to move to and work in Silicon Valley by the age of 30.
To fulfill my goal, I need to find a place where I can have a lot of foreign experience, and I hope the company provides me the opportunities to work aboard or connect with foreign countries.
With this test score, I can prove my ability now. It will work good for me.

Actually, it was my second time to take the test.
The first one was when I was a freshman at college, so almost 3 years ago.
I don't remember the exact score, but I think it was 505 or 510.
So, I could raise nearly 400 points in three years.
Actually, I could improve my English a lot when I was in US.
So, that means I could pull my score up a lot within a year.
I spent a great year with my friends at William and Mary, and also I could improve my English a lot.
So, I'm glad that I could do both in US.

a little bit sick...

As the title tells, I'm sick a little bit.
I felt I have a cold, so I saw a doctor today.
A doctor gave me some medicines.

Now, I feel a lot better compared to yesterday.
I was not good shape especially yesterday.
I had a discussion event in my company and we stayed at a hotel on Thursday and Friday.
Honestly, I didn't feel good even in the Thursday morning.
Then, it bacame much worse on Friday.

I attended all discussion things for two days.
I was in the meetings but I couldn't do almost anything on Friday because of my bad health.

Actually, I had a company's meeting today, but I came back my home the last night and didn't go there today.

I'm feeling much better now as I wrote above.


By the way, I signed up for Twitter.
I wanted to know how it works and if it's fun enough.
I left some messages on Twitter.
However, I don't know whether I keep using.
I don't know how I enjoy with it so far.

my status truely got back to a student

Do you understand the meaning of the title?
Maybe, only I know that.

That means college students finished the spring semester by July and they are now in summer break.
That's why I wrote that I got back to a college student.
Acutally, I am a junior and have been a college student.
However, I went to US and Indonesia (only a few days.. ), and came back to Japan in the late May.
The school seasons are different between US and Japan.
In US, there are fall semester and spring semester.
Fall semester starts in the late August, and is over by mid December. Then spring semester begins from mid-January.
By contrast, we have spring semester and fall semester in this order in Japan.
The spring semester starts first in April and it's almost for 4 months. Next, fall semester starts in October.

I came back to Japan almost two months ago.
Also, I didn't need to attend spring semester. I can start going to school again in October.
So, I have had 4 months summer break.
Therefore, I was not a college student for the previous two months.
My official status is still not a college student, but I can confidently say that I'm a college student from today.


Anyway, I'm working an internship.
I have been a head intern at the company, but I thought to quit the company two weeks ago.
However, I didn't quit and decided to work until the end of September.
I now think it was a good choice.

Now, I act with president of my company sometimes.
I went to one of the most important custmores for our companies now with president.
The president could truely trust me, and I had a presentation in front fo them. It was a success, and the company started to think seriously to buy our product after that.
I had a big pleasure yesterday.
I had a lot of responsibilities and pressure, but I think I could make it.
Now, the work is getting more interesting.
I'm working a lot, but now I can find a satisfaction and pleasure from the work.
I'm going to focus on the work until the school starts on October first.
