Attending to W SEMINAR...

I have started to attend to W SENIMAR school for two weeks in Takadanobaba.
I and my friend happened to come cross its pamphlet at the campus shelf and we decided to take this seminar, mass media seminar.

We take this seminar on Thursdays, and the class begins from 6:40-8:40. And today, we went to the seminar school as usual. But today it was kind of unusual day. That is that the teacher today was really impressive to me. He is now a producer in a publish company, Romeo-News Japan. He gave us an impact when he came into the class. First, his hair was long enough to his shoulder and dyed blonde. What is more, he was slim as if a young lady from back. Fortunately, he was not bad looking even though his voice was husky and sometimes powerful.

What made him different from other professional teachers was not only his style but also his passion to his job. He told us that which university you are from, what department you are in make no big deal for mass media companies. But they look at what the person you are, your humanity. Mass madia chooses the person with whom they feel like working together. Therefore, he told us what we should do and prepare for is to do something special or something you can be proud of during our university students life. For example, part-time job, school ciricle and clubs. He also recommended us to fall in love and even break heart in love in order to know people's pain. Knowing people's pain, we grow.

Although I haven't exactly decided what job I want to do, but I know that I like to communicate with people. That's the only thing that I am sure, and I want to cherish this thought.

PS: My first draft of research paper of Academic Writing class was due today. And I passed it spending whole night yesterday. But I was shocked to get to know my pages didn't fill the minimum 2,000 words. I thought I did, but I was wrong. Ah...I should have counted them down before..orz..

Leonardo Da Vinci The Codex Leicester in Roppongi Hills


Roppongi Hills, one of the most attractive sightseeing spot in Tokyo, was just as marvelous as its reputation.
Yesterday, I went to Mori Arts Center Gallery to see the exhibit of Leonardo Da Vinci The Codex Leicester with my friends.
I have never been to such a large scale exhibit before, so I was full of high expectation and excitement!
Leonardo Da Vinci is the most noted artist in the world, and at the same time, he is also well-known for its extraordinary talent in science. In his
(http://www.roppongihills.com/jp/events/davinci.html)
late life, he devoted his left life to studying science, astronomy, geography, biology etc, showing great extent to every genre. And his note "The Codex Leiscester" leaving huge information of Da Vinci's experiments has come to Japan. It was kinda honor to be able to have a see this valuable treasure so closely in real. The Leicester was displayed in a window of a dim room cause it was said quite weak at bright light. It seemed to have a strict guarantee to protect them. I have also experienced some experiment like water pressure, and stone, seeing Mirror language Da Vinci had invented. Honestly, Leonard Da Vinci is a greatest artist I know, although he has so many bad rumors, his fancy at the beautiful boys. The model of St. John Baptist really has animal magnetism as same as Mona Lisa.
Nao, my friends, would lend me the Dan Brown's bestseller novel "Davinci Code" later since this exhibit. I am looking forward to reading it. I hope its writing English won't be too difficult to comprehend. :-) Now I am reading Steven Pinker's book " The Blank Slate" these days. It is my homework of my English Course so I have to keep on reading it though its English is too technical for me without having any deep knowledge of Psychology.:- My teacher loves Pinker, but it doesn't mean his students will all do. I would rather want to finish <Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix> before. I love Harry Potter!!!(I0I)
