ALYSSUM's life

My intemperate life...

2007-05-25T01:28:00.000-07:00

I have been living an intemperate life recently. I study late at night,because I can concentrate on studying then. As Souta leaves home at seven thirty every morning, I have to get up at six o’clock. After I see him off , I get sleepy…I often sleep up to noon so I have to change my lifestyle.

Missing a cooking lesson without notice

2007-05-24T01:25:00.000-07:00

I forgot my appointment. Though I was going to take a cooking lesson, I forgot all about it. I mistook today for tomorrow.When I received my teacher’s E-mail, I noticed it. She allowed me to be absent from her lesson without prior notice. I felt really ashamed.

I went to have lunch with Mayumi. The restaurant only prepares thirty special lunch sets a day on weekdays. We could get one. We were very lucky today.It was good,but other dishes looked good too. I want to eat another dish next time.

Souta is asthmatic?

2007-05-23T01:23:00.000-07:00

I took Souta to the clinic this morning. We arrived there about nine thirty. It was crowded with sick people, so that we had to wait for an hour and a half. It wasn’t sunstroke, but the doctor said that he was asthmatic and he had big tonsils. The fever that he had last night was caused from swelling tonsils. I think that asthma is a terrible sickness; terrible coughing, limited doing exercise…etc. I can’t believe that he is asthmatic because he is full of vigor every day. I have to pay attention to his condition more from now on.

Souta's headache

2007-05-22T01:22:00.000-07:00

When Souta came home from his school,he was suffering from a headache.At first I thought that he would be better to lie down on a sofa quietly for a while,but his headache was getting worse after one hour.I worried about sunstroke because he was outside a long time practicing for the school sports on May 27th.I bedded him down and put a cold towel on his forehead for the time being, though I took him to a clinic,because the clinic where he often sees a docter was closed at night.He slept deeply in spite of his fever.I cared for him at home.I will take him to the clinic tomorrow even if he gets better.

How to improve my English skills.

2007-05-21T01:16:00.001-07:00

I have studied English hard recently.I seldom go out to study and stay at home now.I'm getting tired of studying English because I can't feel that I have improved in English.I surfed the Internet to look for new ways to improve my English skills for five hours!I wasted my time.I should had studied English during that time,if I really wanted to improve my English skills.Just do it without reading how to.

* To keep a diary in English every day.
After it is corrected,I have to review it.

* To repeat good and useful English sentences in a loud voice.

* To take a private English lesson once a week to keep feeling motivated.

Difficult to bring up child

2007-05-20T10:10:00.000-07:00

I quarreled with Souta, who is my son and six year old, today.The cause of the quarrel were very small things,but we are strong-willed and short-temperd as we can't apologize frankly to each other. Even worse, if one apologizes to another, the other can't forgive immediately because we are both stubborn...Souta is like me as far as his bad character is concerned because he has grown to watch what I do all the time.I have to change myself to be a good person for Souta.I will be going to apologize to him frankly tomorrow.It is difficult for me to bring up children but I'm very happy to have my child in my life.

MY BLOG!

2007-05-19T10:15:00.000-07:00

I have started my blog in English at last!
I want to travel all over the world and live in foreign countries someday.I will continue writing my blog to improve my English.

Today I went to the office where I used to work about two months ago to take a uniform back.I used to work there up to midnight before.My ex-coworkers were very tired because they work overtime a lot every day. I won't return such a hard working life again.But I wonder if I can get new job?
