Oh Emirates... ああ、Emirates...

This smile….

I won’t forget.

この笑顔

絶対に忘れんぞ

We took Emirates.

Via Dubai, yeah!

We decided it because it was cheap.

And I wanted to stand on the land of Dubai more than that of Paris.

(Air France was another option.)

スウェーデンまではEmiratesという航空会社を使った

ドバイ経由、イェイ！

安かった選んだというんもあるけど

空港内だけでもええけんドバイの土地に一度立ってみたかった

（フランスの航空会社も同じ料金やったけど、パリはええや）

It was exciting on the planes.

Movies, TV programs, TV games, music videos on personal screens.

All beverage including beer, wine, gin, and whisky are all free (except for champagne, why?).

Cup noodles served anytime.

飛行機の設備はなかなか良かった

個人個人の画面があって映画、ドラマ、ミュージックビデオ見放題

リモコン兼コントローラーもあってゲームやり放題

アルコール類も全部ただ（シャンパンだけただじゃない、なぜ？）

いつでもカップヌードルいただける

But… on the last plane to Tokyo, my personal screen didn’t work.

Even though we (“we” means A, not me) asked at least 3 times to fix it,

I ended up not being able to watch any movies for 12 hours.

Every time, a cabin attendant answered us “ I’ll tell them” with a nice smile.

But who are “them”?

Who are behind you?

Instead of watching several movies that I wanted to watch with A together,

I had this nice smiley cabin attendant with perfectly white teeth in front of me all the time.

How lucky I was!

(Actually, I ended up to keep sleeping except for the meals.)

でも…東京行きの最後の飛行機ではスクリーンが故障しとった

Aが少なくとも3回はスタッフに伝えたのに

結局12時間なんも見られんかった

毎回聞くたびに「I’ll tell them」と言われ、素敵な笑顔を振りまかれたけど

「them」って誰よ？

ボスキャラでもおるんかい？

So now, I am not guilty.

I don’t have to feel guilty for 7 sets of cutlery and 4 bottles of wine taken home.

ま、でも、7セットのスプーン、フォーク、ナイフと

ワイン4本持って帰ったこと

今は悪く思わんよ。

P.S. Thank you for giving me this form which says "For non-Japanese".

(I don't why she strongly suggested me to have it even tough A told her the form clearly says so.)

P.S.それから、この外国人用の用紙、ありがとうございました。

(Aが何度も「これ、外国人用ですよ」って言ってるにも関わらず・・・) 

5 meals a day keeps the doctor away.

Today we were able to keep a solid food schedule with 5 meals spaced 2 to 5 hours apart.
Combined with training this would be superb.

Tried 3 different variations of our avocado salad during the day: bulgur, quinoa, couscous. Bulgur was the best.

The base recipe

• one avocado
• about a liter of finely cut cabbage
• one carrot, minced
• half a cup of diced cucumber
• a table spoon of minced leek
• ponsu (citrus soy vinegar)
• salt and black pepper

Mix the vegetables in a bowl and pour over some ponsu.

Cut the avocado in half and make some cuts in the face of each half. Then use a spoon to scrape out the avocado over the vegetables.

Add some more ponsu and mix vegetables and avocado until the avocado is evenly distributed in the mix. 

Add salt and black pepper after taste.

bought at Tiger-store in a shopping mall in Växjö.

So cute.

I’m drinking “Växjö mix”.

We bought one for my colleague.

She will like it.

スウェーデンのVäxjö(Aの両親が住んでる街)にある

ショッピングモールのTiger-sotreという店で購入。

可愛い。

「Växjöミックス」というスペシャルティを飲んでます。

バイト先の人にもお土産に買った。

気に入ってくれるでしょう。

miss ya, Sverige 忘れがたきスウェーデン

Salmon and olives on the top.

Yes!

Matkorn and sinigang soup (Filipino) aside.

We've already eaten up sönö bread, 

only a few slices of rågbröd left, 

and tasted all tubes (senap and 2 different kinds of kaviar) .

We watched a Swedish film called "BLACKJACK" last night.

Linens with elk pattern hanging on the wall.

Mmm... apparently, we already miss Sweden so badly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

サーモンにオリーブ

イェイ！

マットコーン（麦みたいな）とシニガンスープ（フィリピン料理）も。

すでにお土産で持って帰った大きなパンは全部食ったし

マスタードとかペーストとか全て味見済み。

昨日の夜はというスウェーデン映画見たし。

へらじか柄のタオル壁に飾ってるし。

うーむ・・・かなりスウェーデンを忘れられないようですな。

Back in Tokyo 帰ってきました

Life is short

I don't wanna think of my death, the end of my life.

But it will come.
Not avoidable.

That's what makes everybody equal.
That's why many say we shouldn't waste time.

How many seconds
How many minites
How many hours
How many days
How many weeks
How many months
How many years
have I wasted already?

the last blue Thursday

AM4時起き 
実はと言うと3時頃から意識ある 
ねれなーい 
Got up at 4 am.
I've been awake since around 3.
CAN'T sleep!

これからの一日を思うとすでに疲・・・ 
Already worn out it I think of today, a long day...

8時から12時までバイト 
12時から16時まで別のバイト 
Part-time job from 8 to 12.
Another part-time job from 12 to 16.

今日はもしかすると一つめのバイトが長引く可能性があるので 
先週に引き続き二つめのバイトで謝らなければならないかも 
ただただ生きるためのお金が必要なだけなのに・・・ 
「説教するなら金をくれ」 
The first job maybe get longer.
I have to apologize at the second work place for coming late.
Just need money for living.

16時からは久々に上京した友とお茶 
これは癒されるでしょう 
しかも朝家を出て以降、最初の栄養摂取チャンス 
Then, I'll meet my friend from Shizuoka at 16.
Ant this will be the first chance to eat since I left home.

しかし17時にはまた学内バイト 
19時までです 
これは自らがOKした勤務交代ですが。。。 
何度も強調しますが、お金があればやらんかも 
However, a third part-time job at school from 17 to 19.
I'm not gonna work this much if I have enough money.

19時以降はフリー 
仲良しとうちで宴会をすることになっていますが 
きっと今日も話の途中で寝てしまうに違いない 
そして翌日すまなかったと連絡するんだろう 
I'm free after 19.
My friend is coming to our house for dinner.
But probably I will fall asleep during our conversation.
And I will text her that I am sorry for not being able to keep me awake.

What a tragety...

前の日記で確認ミスのため 
またコピー機待ちせねばならんと 
お伝えいたしました 

I told that I had to stand in line for a copy machine again
because I found some mistakes in my thesis.


☆続編☆ 
☆Continuation☆

前の使用者が１時間ほど独占したあげく 
エラーを残して去りました 
A parson who used the copy machine before me
stayed there for about an hour and left.
Some technical error was left.

エラー解決には再起動というマニュアルあり 
The manual says I need to restart it to solve the error.

その通りにすると 
印刷待ち履歴が全部消えてました 
So, I did as it tells.
Then, all the memories disappeared.

結局、後ろで待ってた人に謝り 
順番を譲りました 
I apologized for others waiting behind me,
told them that I accidentally erased their documents on the copy machine,
and let them use if before me.

害を被ってばかりな気がします 
I did nothing wrong though.
１日がかりの修論提出です(T-T)
I spent a hole day to just submit my thesis.

修論提出 I've submitted master thesis

無事終えました 
It's DONE!

がしかし 
博士試験用に４部いるとは知らなくて 
院生室のコピー機争いからようやく脱出したのに 
また忍耐訓練に逆戻りました 
BUT
I have to submit 4 more copies of my thesis.
I didn't know it.
I finally escaped from the battle over a copy machine in the students' room just now.
Oh no, I have to go back there again.

最近ぼーっとしてて体調も優れず 
事前確認を怠っていました 
I have been tired and felt dizzy recently.
That's one of the reasons I missed the information.

今日深く反省… 
A big regret...

院試要項は手元にあったし 
時間もあったのに 
I had a list of requirements.
I laso had time.

とにかく今は眠いです 
I'm so sleepy anyway.

ちなみに昨晩必死で論文仕上げてたからではありません 
It's not because I stayed up all night to finish my thesis by the way.

11月頃からほぼ手付かず 
ほぼコメントもらってない論文で 
卒業できるんだろうか 
I haven't looked over it since November.
I haven't got any comments from professors either.
Is it possible for me to graduate?
