My latest news

Thanks for encouraging me my dears! My beloved first wisdom tooth now hurts as much as I can sleep and study. الحمد لله! Pus was accumulating between the gum and the tooth, but it has already been taken out and a kind of medicine was infused into it yesterday. In addition, I'm taking medicine, which makes me so sleepy that I failed to keep awake last night and fell asleep in the arms of Morpheus. (But today's-just-finished exam was luckily not hard that much. Seems that I am not bad at making ad hoc efforts) I have not had any meal since yesterday, but this is what 断食 (fasting in Japanese) means and somehow it enables us to feel refreshing. Well, I started to wonder what I can eat for lunch now after one day's 'abstinence'. Jellylike nutritional tonic would be welcomed even in my present mouth.

Yahoo, my 14 supposed-to-be-recorded-at-Guinness exams (52 credits in total, amazing) seem to be over just around the corner (next Tuesday). I have given up taking two of them (hope this decision won't be a mistake), so if I can pass all of them I took and I will take next Monday and Tuesday, I will get 44 credits in the end. Now I have 32 credits (only!) at the Faculty of Law, the total credit would be 81 this year, adding 5 credits from the Faculty of Literature, and I will only have to take 3 compulsory subjects (10 credits) next semester. (The amount of credits we, the law students, have to take is 90. If I add the credits I have taken at College (at fresh and sophomore) it will be 180 in total. C.f. we are given 2 credits for a lecture of 100 minutes per week for a course of 16 weeks.) Then, if this counting my chickens before hatched is revealed to be correct in the end, I can graduate next September, according to one of my friend. (I am not sure, because it means I stay in this university only for 3.5 years. I will ask the administration.) Even if I could not, it means I will have a lot of free time to do something that I can do only when I am a student!

Thank you guys for cheering me up. Seems I will manage to overcome this period, only having a 'nice' (!) trouble with my tooth, not having caught a cold at all and (this is what is important) not taking a turn for the worse of my skin. I am always the most blessed one in the world. I am thankful to everything. Hope you guys also do well. (May every athlete at Vancouver do too! I am encouraged by their good job. Do not miss figure skating today and on 23rd!) May God bless all of you.
