        I will look back on a year by remembering to do list I wrote on last May.


I want to get a driver’s license

        I got a driver’s license during summer vacation. I went to camp in Yamagata to get it. It of the most fun memory in this year.


I want to try hard to learn math


        I think I could not attain this objective. I failed to earn statistics credit in the spring term. And maybe I failed again in fall term. I cannot excuse.
 

I have to do homework
 

        I think I do this well. I want do this continuously. 


I want to go to bed early
 

        I did not do this. On the contrary, sometimes I did not sleep to study for a test. I want study in the daytime not to study night next year.


I want to climb Mt. Tsukuba
 

        I did not. My friends climbed Mt. Tsukuba during I went to camp to get a license. I missed a big chance. I want to do this next year.


I want to read many novels
 

        I read some but not many. I made friends with a man who likes novels. So I will tell him to recommend me interesting novels.


I want to work at a part-time job
 

        I did. But I quit because I broke my right ankle. So now I do not a job. I want to find a new job.


I have to save money
 

        Maybe I achieved it. I love eating out but sometimes I prevent myself from eating out to save money.


I want not to be infected with norovirus
 

        I have not been infected with norovirus this year. Norovirus has not spread still this year. I have to be careful in next some months.


I want to buy a car


        I got a car but I did not buy a car. I could not make money. At last my father buy a car for me. I am thankful and thought that I have to work hard to repay an obligation.


        I want to make next year better than this year.

       We will invite people who have something to do with movies or novels. But they have different styles. Sometimes it seemed to be opposite. We want them to enjoy conversation with a man who have different style. So we decided this seating arrangement. For example, one of styles is the style that uses a lot of computer graphics or actions, something impressing to see. They amuse audiences with powerful images. Other one is the style that amuse people with a moving story. People can enjoy a movie without brash images.
       We arrange the seat so that they can talk different type and similar at the same time. They can talk with similar type of people diagonally and put different type people in front or the side of a man. It makes the conversation exiting and long. They can talk about movies involving people around him.
       We can see specialists exchange of ideas.

       We will hold the dinner party in Japanese food restaurant where we can use some items. Thinking about the place, Tokyo is good because Tokyo is more convenient than other place in japan for them, we can choose a good restaurant because there are many restaurants in Tokyo and we can go there. Probably, we don't have to think seriously about what we eat. Among them, there are no problem for food because of religeon.
       We will talk about movies because all of them are wonderful filmmaker. Then, we prepare some items in order to watch a part of or full of movie. We choose some movies which none of them are involve in. Even if the talk warm up and the plan is not necessary for the party, that is OK. The plan is only a means to make the party interesting and meaninghul.

WONDER

http://www.erikwernquist.com/wanderers/

    
    Watching the short film, I feel that I forgot human instinct. Human beings have been moving across the world to find a better place taking a risk that they cannot be back or they may die in the new place. Our ancestors did not be satisfied with a place where they are and tried to migrate and find new better places. But now, the world is all explored. There may be no more places to live. Especially japan, it is one of the most comfortable places to live in the world. Low crime rate, cutting-edge technology, high income, satisfactory welfare.
    Many Japanese cannot want to take a risk to get a better life. Thy maybe can get a good life staying in japan. Actually Japanese emigrants are not many.But I think some Japanese are wondering the world. One of the cases, they are students studying abroad. I think they are great. They are taking risks to improve themselves in a new place. Lecture of a university is difficult even if it is in a mother tongue. Lecture in English or other language may be so difficult that I cannot understand. I am also afraid of daily life without Japanese. If I got a chance to study abroad, maybe I cannot decide to do. Many foreign students are in university of Tsukuba. Many of them are trilingual. They can speak English, Japanese and their mother tongue. They are also took risks and improving themselves. Great.
    In contrast, to tell the truth, I am satisfied with the life that now I am leading. But after watching this film, I feel that something inside me is waked, the human instinct that I have unknowingly. I will maybe remember the split of ancestor that I am about to forget completely.
    I want to wonder. I want to explore.

How to Quit Job


       This time I will tell you how to throw up part time job. I often hear part time job troubles. And sometimes a trouble is that a student can’t throw up part time job. A student tell manager that he or she want to quit part time job but manager do not allow to throw up. When the student have a lot of test and part time job, he or she may fail to earn credits. Many student have a trouble like that. You know, working student have a right to throw up a job. But not every student can quit job. I saw Labor Standards Act. I will tell you about that.
       There is two kind of working student. The first case student can throw up job easily. But second case student cannot quit in all case. The different of two case is a contract of employment between manager and worker. This is made when worker start job. A worker who are in first case is a student whose contract of employment do not include term of contract or who do worked for longer than term of contract. On the other hand, worker who are in second case is a student whose contract of employment include term of contract and who did not work for longer than term of contract.
       In first case worker can throw up job every time. But the worker must tell manager that he or she will quit job at least two weeks before he or she throw up job. No matter what the manager say, that he or she can throw up job is not banned in the eye of the law.
       In the second case, worker cannot quit job till term of contract pass basically. But in case worker have a reason cannot be helped, for example an injury or mental illness, worker can quit the job. Worker must have a reason that persuade the manager to allow he or she to quit job. In this case, you throw up job and the reason is not suitable, the manager can ask you for compensation for damage. So if you have no suitable reason, you had better not to throw up job selfishly if your manager say do not quit.
       I told about how to quit job. But it is story only in low. Actually, if a worker quit job suddenly, the manager may have trouble. If you come to quit job, please decide that you will quit or not after think about it ethically.
