Schedules

All after what I'd call negligence comes the tight class schedules.


Plus, final exams of F1 (Dec 19) and F3 (Jan 5).

Square plus, DIP team reflection (Dec 14) and NGOF program reflection (Dec 20-24).

This is not a complaint or else, but rather a reminder for a cramming revision and careful preparation.

My holiday plan

First, I thought I gotta dive my head in my thesis after getting the comments from my sensei. Uh huh, it turned out to be very interesting for this winter holiday. So, it is not all about this dull writing of mine. Well, gonna enjoy the most and work the hardest... as planned.

- 26: (right after this post... ehe) work on the first part of the comments, while waiting for those on the most messy sections of my thesis which is promised to return by my sensei by 28.
- 27: visit a senior on her maternal hospitalization and receive a friend and her friends from Kobe...
- 28: go out with Kobe guys (maybe to Toyota-shi)
- 29: spend time with Kobe guys and then set off to Tokyo
- 30: meet up with my cousin and her friends from Beijing
- 31: get back to CSAN's year-end party in Nagoya OR countdown with my brother and his family in Tokyo
- 2: receive 2 friends from Tokyo on their way back from Kobe

Yeah, tentatively it should be so. Let's see whether or not I could survive my draft for an English-check on January 4.

Well, better off and get back to work......

No plan for BEACH

I remember how I spent my summer last year - climbing Mnt. Fuji in Shizuoka and going to a beach, named Utsumi, in Chita. Among the 2, I love the latter much more.
This year, I'm not sure if I could make it again to any beach in Japan. According to the map taken from NIC's Nagoya Carlendar, you could find some nice beaches nearby Nagoya. In the July Issue, Himakajima looks really appealing to me. If time and weather allows (mid-September, maybe impossible???), I think I'd go there. If not, I think Shinmaiko Marine Park is also fine.
Let's see!!!

How can it be T.G.I.F.???

The answer is...

25 - New Year's Eve + reunion dinner??? [sigh]
26 - New Year Day 1 + Mr K3N's birthday + paper for Development Finance class
27 - New Year Day 2 + sit-in exam for DUGM class
28 - New Year Day 3 + weekly paper for JDE class + sit-in exam for Rural Development class
29 - OFW report for 2nd proof-reading by publisher
30 - Presentation in Development Finance class
31 - Appointment with dentist

Wish me luck!!!!!! The best one, please!!!!!!

My July-August Calendar

There is still one more week to go before summer vacation, but I seem to need more time. You know why, I bet.

July 18: Presentation on questionnaire survey in I2QI
July 19: Coconut dance rehearsal @ IR (?)
July 22: Term paper (Microeconomics) due + last DE class
July 23: Term paper (Macroeconomics) due
July 25: Make-up class in Microeconomics + Reports for Development Statistics
July 25: B. PR moving in (?)
July 26: Hikoza Festival @ Kota town (coconut dance)
July 28- Aug 1: Intensive course on project evaluation
July 30: Term paper (Development Economics) due
Aug 2: Tutoring TRIPS (aquarium, Tokukawa park & museum...)
Aug 3-18: Planned visits to Mnt. Fuji, Kyoto (GSID's subsidy), Osaka (for Thai Visa), ...
Aug 19-22: Intensive course on PCM
Aug 25: Term paper (I2QI) due
Aug 25-29: Intensive course on Development Cooperation

There will be reports for intensive courses, which may be due some time in September. Oh, my......

There are still few sessions on OFW seminar in September before the departure on October 1-15. I'll spare some time to visit Tokyo (Disney Land!!!), as promised, in September. There may be a plan to rock Nagashima Spa Land in Mie Prefecture, where I went on quite few different kinds of roller coasters, including the one with its peak of 97m from sea level and an over 2km length, last year. Oh, how about going to beaches??? Not yet any plan, though.

Hopefully, this super hot summer (about 41ºC as last year's record) won't kill my traveling enthusiasm. It'll be getting cooler and windier in September, I think.

Hmmm... gotta work harder, smarter and more by heart!
