10*10 slide of Kaori & explanation




...I guess you cannot get enough information only from these slides without letters, then I will add some comments on each slides.

1. I am Kaori, and also Mehimi. Where this nickname came from is that I explained in the class! Please call me whichever you want, or you can create another one.

2. I have lived in Japan for all of my life 20 years. Although I participated in Freshman SEA Program, I basically spent my days in Japan.

3. Fine arts club in junior high school! Almost all of my paintings were illusts with pens, so I am not good painter with oil or colours(pigments?).

4. This slide Momo was what our acting club performed before we graduated ICU high school. I was there only one term as a staff, but I could feel acting is amazing through seeing actor's practice and touching their passions for acting. Still now I like to go to watch actings!

5. Bjork! Bjork! Bjork!! I love her because of its exploding emotion from inside of her. It seemed she showed me to break myself out and express self, and it was a kind of shock for me. She changed me in some ways when I was in ICUHS, and still now I adore her and her songs. I sincerely recommend you to WATCH her PVs! Any one is good, but to watch first I will recommend you "Human Behavior".

6. Sounds' Palette is nice chorus club I think, because I once was belonged to there and sang. Those booklets' cover designs have been done by club members(I have never done^^). Singers are at the same time artists!

7. Section AG is the first community I met in ICU. I was so lucky to be surrounded by those nice and kind people and talked often. I love to talk with people who love to consider something, who are freqently found in ICU.

8. Traditional Japanese Folk Dance club(Minbu) has been suffered from shortage of member! However I love the dance to have fun and be health, and I would like to share it with someone. If you feel coming to our practice, you can ask me ANYTIME!!

9. ICU Glee Club is where I belonged to secondly. People sing japanese song, English(Spirituals), Latin...through long hours practice, they talk and get along very well. It is happy to see everyone in the club is kind to and respect each other. My dear is also in this club. We have 2 concerts in one year, on spring and autumn.

If you have any question, please ask me as a comment. You don't have to worry about me!

Fixed topic: Who am I?

I have been wondered my existence concerned with this theme "who am I". The answer to this has not yet found, and I suppose it won't be found in the future, but I will try to figure myself out at least I know about now.

Considering it in position I have been...
I was born in Mie prefecture, and soon my family was moved to Yokohama. When I was 5, we had already lived in Hachioji, where now I live. I was grown up as an elder sister in the family.
I have passed through a lot, but now my identity in position is this: ICU sophomore student, 20 years old, executive of Minbu, a member of ICU glee club, aiming to Environmental studies and art archeology as majors.

Considering it in my interests...
As hobbies, my interest spread to sing, draw, dance. These are definitely in my personality to make me up as ME.
It makes me to join to ICU high school's chorus club and ICU's Glee Club, junior high school's Fine art club, and ICU's Minbu. Those gave me oppoturnities to come across many fasciate people and to consider what is organization or management of club, or how I can commit it etc.. It sometimes suffers me, however, I'm sure it is necessary to learn. Of course these activities are fun to do!
Out of hobbies, I'm interested in Buddhism, artist Bjork and her land Iceland(even I wanted to go in exchange program once), technology not to exhaust energy on the earth, physics even though I'm not good at it at all, and many thing I have catch in my sight.

Considering it in biology...
I am Homo Sapiens as a spice, female. That is very simple to explain in this category!

Considering it in my personality...
I am so called hard and one-way thinker, or shy to express myself. Basically I love to consider anything by myself, and that is not my favor to discuss with unstable opinion. Sometimes it prevent to communicate with the others, especially three or more people. However, it seems opposite of it, I like to talk with others. If you feel talking or even speaking to me, you can come your convinient time. There is no lie in the words, "nice to meet you all everyone!."

Considering it in my current situation....
I am now busy in my mind as I have never experienced, so going out to care about something new is difficult for me. I'm trying to deal my problem now, and I even now have space to accept what comes to me!

Who am I? As I wrote on the top, this question has no specific answer to me. However drawing some keypoints out helps both you and me to get information of me.

Open Topic: about the design of my blog

When I created my blog, I could choose some templates as a background. Some of them attracted me, however at last I decided to use current design. That was because one episord occured to me, which I heard during analyzing lyrics of songs.

In Japan there is one poemer whose name is Mado・Michio,in Japanese まど・みちお. He created amounts of poets, and particularly poems included in songs for mixed voices Utayo!(うたよ!) have personal views. It represents his name, with more detail, he gave himself this name to have the meaning of WINDOW. He has tried to see the things through his own window, and let the other people enable to see the similar world through his window. Thus correct translation of his name is the window of Michio, I suppose.
Anyway I felt his stance is nice to imitate to share my blogs with the others. It looks like you are looking outside of the car from inside, and you can see limited view from there. In by blog, you will see what I was touched or how I interpret any things and more.

Thank you for your coming to this blog!!

Hello World!! a&b

This is Kaori, who was absent from the first class of You.
Here I will write about 2 fixed topic.

a)why I take this course

Why I decided to take this class is because I like to consider self rather than to consider other social problem or doing communication. It helps me to analyze what I am thinking about and what makes me have some actions. I guessed in writing I would express what I try to state in English.
In addition, I am expecting to touch selves of other classmates. It is hard to get to know the others deeply in university because almost all of people probably, and they often put on some masks when the first time to see them. This course will go further under those masks, and this is one of the reasons to make me take this course.


b) do you like writing or not

Definitely I like writing. Although I am not good at English, I like writing kinds of texts. I even like to write essay if it does not have due-date.
I am a kind of shy and not good at speaking, especially in English, so writing is an appreciate way to communicate with others on each opinion. Writings allow me to take care of its expression or structure (however it does not help me to desirable structure), and during my writing process, I can read it to input what i wrote by my eyes, where to get information well. When I learn something new I spend long time (slow thinker?), and it causes the preference to writing in some way.
