As a perfectionist, I’m likely to think I could’ve done more but I’m proud of my achievement. According to teachers, few people can achieve this level from lower intermediate for one year.
Well, it is not the end. English is not my long-term purpose. Although the reason why I came here is studying English, I should consider about the reason why I learn English. English is, basically, one of the ways to achieve my dreams.

The first reason is for my feature job. My English should help me to do web designing and so on. Actually, in these days I often read documents and web sites about technical topic. Thinking about Flash, a tremendous amount of information is still only English. Despite that, I can make use of it. Besides this, maybe I can join some community on the Internet. Now, I can give comments quite easily. It’s a good advantage for job hunting, isn’t it?
The second reason is for travelling. I would like to travel around the world in the future and in that case, English should be so helpful because it’s the most dominant language of the world. Now I can speak it; thus, anywhere I can go.
Therefore, I’m going on a trip for a month from tomorrow! At first, I’ll go to Sydney by train. It’s gonna take 70 hours. Even though it takes 3 hours by airplane from Perth to Sydney, it takes 3 nights by train! In addition, I don’t have a bed. I can use only a seat. Moreover, there are just a few things to do. I can see only the horizon. One teacher advised me that it would be a good opportunity to discover myself.
During this trip, I will upload my travelogue as much as possible. So, visit this site often and give some comments.

Indeed, I’m supposed to feel something sentimental for guraduation. However because of this trip, I’m just excited. I found similar feeling when I left Japan. Yeah, it’s the end but also the beginning of my new journey too!

The Perth Cathedral, the wedding took place in, was absolutely magnificent. I reckon, without this kind of opportunity, it’s quite rare to take photos inside of it.
Actually, the condition was bit tough. We were restricted using flash.
What’s more, technically, it’s nearly impossible to make use of single speed light in this kind of huge building. Thus, shooting without flash was required. Despite these situations, my low aperture lens enabled me to take photos by hand gripping style.
It sounds bit boastful but I would say I’ve done a good job.

Last December, I had an opportunity to be a “professional photographer”.
I was asked taking wedding photos for my friend’s friend.

Actually, I felt a little pressure because basically, wedding is only one time for everyone in their life and I was in charge of taking photos. It was a big responsibility, wasn’t it? Nevertheless, I was able to enjoy it. Although a friend who took photos with me was exhausted in the end, I was so excited all the day. According to him, shooting photo must have energised me.
I couldn’t agree more.
