TOEIC

Today I had a TOEIC Test. I had to have. Usually I have such tests at the university, but in this time, my schedule didn't meet the schedule of TOEIC in the university, so I had it out of the university.

To take the TOEIC, I went to Kobe. From my house to the place to take it, it takes about 1 hour. That means the half of the way from my house to my university... I hope the university is nearer to my house!!!!!!!! In the classroom, there were many adults! When I have in the university, there are only students, but this time's is the test for all people, so there were students, housewives, and workers... It seems strange for me that men who are maybe same age as my farther were sitting around me. But I think it is great that they studied by themselves. In case of me, I have a class for TOEIC, so I can study once a week. But workers don't have enough time to study, I guess. But they had test.

About TOEIC itself, I somehow answered all questions. The score will notify about 30 days later. I don't know how much I could anwer correctly. And I will not pay attention seriously about that. Let it be.

Kyoto

I'm sorry for late posting;

Last Friday, I went to Kyoto for visiting and taking pics of Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, and Ryoanji Temple. I have an architectural class, and this visiting is to make report of three temples, especially about their garden.
It was rainy and there were many many many students in Kyoto! The day I went to was a weekday (it's my university's birthday, so I had no class!) so I supposed that there were a lot of people. But I forgot one thing. In this season, Kyoto is very popular in red leaves, and many junior high and high schools have plans to have school trips or picnics! "OH NO!!!" I shouted in my mind. Anyway, I had a plan to visit and have lunch, I enjoyed it.
First, I went to Ginkakuji Temple. I love it! It's so beautiful! Lots of people like KinkakujiTemple better than Ginkakuji, but I don't. Actually, Kinkakuji is beautiful, but I can relax with seeing Ginkakuji better than Kinkakuji. Anyway, it depends on people.









Next, I had lunch at a cafe near to Ginkakuji. I don't know I've written that I like (or love) cafe here, but I'll say again. I like visiting cafe! I have cafe map in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. It's a kind of my Bible. I checkd some cafes the day before I visitted. And I chose one in the day. It's "cafe voir clair". It was small, and food was very delicious! I ordered lunce plate, and it contained three kinds of open sandwiches, salad, fruit, and soup. It made me very happy and comfortable. And whenever I go to cafe, I bring camera to take pics. Then, in this time, I had a SO GREAT PICTURES! I like them even the cameraman was me! So I'll post them later.

After I had lunch, I went to Ryoanji Temple and Kinkakuji Temple. If I visited there the week after, I couldn't see them. Do you know why? That's because, President of Bush was coming! I don't know how he felt about Kinkuji... There were many people in both temples, so I didn't have good time. I like quiet places. But it was my first time to visit these temple, so it was good holiday for me!

sickness

I had an unmemorable experience in Wednesday. Before the day, I caught a cold, but it wasn't serious one, so I spent days as usual. But when I left the university, I felt pain in my stomach. "um? Somthing is strange..." but I thought, "Maybe, I'm hungry." This was a mistake.
After I got a train, the pain lasted. Never ending. To my home town, I take three lines. When I took the last line, pain pain pain pain............ PAIN! I couldn't stand about it and finally, I flopped down onto the floor. Some kind people helped me, but my blood pressure was low, I felt, and the scene I could see was all white. I couldn't see anything! I walked somehow with helping people, but I fainted away, and I don't remember well... Luckily, there was my father in the car I fainted away! After that, I went to the hospital, and took a blood sample and drip infusion. The reason why I had such a painful stomachache and fainted away was the bad cold, the doctor said. The virus of the cold affected on my stomach. horrible virus...

Everyone! Washing hands and a gargle is VERY important!!!
