2025年度 基礎力養成塾

基礎力養成塾の選考が始まった。

説明会で使った資料は，こちらね。

先生方の説明を聞いたけれど，

他の塾と比べると，やることは随分と異なると思う。

学生中心ですね。

資料にも書いたけれど，

ただ何となく，という学生には来て欲しくなくて，

勉強したい，ステップアップしたい，力を付けたい，

という学生に来て欲しいです。

専門ゼミになると，さらに強調しますが，

北星レベルの学生は育てたくなくて，

東大，早稲田，慶応の学生にも負けないだけの力をもった学生を育てたいと思っています。

僕は，どちらかというと，研究に比重をおいたタイプでしょうね。

塾は後期ですが，学生意識を高めるために，

前期に面談，その後もいろいろ情報提供をしていきます。

質問等ある学生はメールをください。

久しぶりに日本語の書き込みで，なんだか罪悪感がある…。

Maybe I trained too hard in the morning, but I've been feeling unwell all day.

Is it because my stamina has declined, or is my body just not working?

Thesis on same-sex marriage and manuscript at the end of the month - about the reform of the Civil Code.

The latter may have to be presented in mid-May.

I'm planning to present about my fieldwork in Nishi Kagura at an academic conference in the autumn. 

At the same time, I also have a thesis for Waseda University's law faculty. 

In August, I have to discuss it with a professor from the University of Sydney Law School. 

I need to manage my time well this year.

トランプ関税

This is going against the global trend.

I have hopes for the EU.

It was the opening ceremony. 

I don't know why we have to sit on the stage. 

And the congratulatory speech was the same as always and all. 

We were made to sing a song- but I didn't sing.

I do not kwow why we must participate to the ceremony. 

There should be no waste.

I went back to the university, did interviews, gathered materials in the library, and wrote thesises. 

I'm not sure if I've made any progress or not.

There was a meeting.
Some people were excited. 

Next time, I have to say what I need to say if it happens again.

Other than that, I'm writing thesises.

I didn't run this morning because I was worried about my left toe, but I was sleepy all day.

The Japanese Prime Minister is being criticized for the US tariffs, but I want him to take a firm stance like the EU president.

Last night, I hit my left foot hard on the foot of the bed. 

In the morning, after running, the pain started and I was feeling unwell all day. 

I got what I deserved.

Today, I had two orientations for second-year and fourth-year students. 

At the second-year orientation, I told the students that they had to study, but I'm worried that they didn't understand.

In the evening, I gave a Latin lecture. 

It was the last lecture of the year. 

Grammar was completed. 

I think it was the first time I've ever gotten this far. 

I was grateful that the students were eager to learn. 

I'm sorry that I didn't have the time and energy to put effort into the Latin lecture.

時代を象徴する言葉たち

This conversation is interesting for me.

ミャンマーでの地震

Things are getting worse there.

International support is needed.

The new semester at university has begun. 

It's orientation time for third-year students and freshmen. 

When I returned to the office in the evening, my throat was sore and I was coughing heavily. 

It's been a while since I last spoke loudly, so my voice sounds a bit strange. 

I'm tired.

In the evening, I worked on two thesis.

Tomorrow I have two orientations and Italian and Latin lessons.

I have to work on my research in between.

This year I focus on my research too.

三井信託カード統合

I think this kind of merger is a good thing. 

Japan is too slow at consolidating.

南海トラフ

The Nankai Trough earthquake is sure to happen, so we need to take measures quickly.

This month and this vacation I can not achieve anything.

Today was research and university works again. 

Tomorrow is orientation, so as expected, I had to prepare for that and couldn't concentrate on my research.

I received a lot of research-related messages, including from a professor in Australia- I was very grateful for her message. 

I will write the details on Slack.

I would like to start some new collaborative research projects, but I don't have enough time or ability.

The new academic year starts tomorrow. 

Like the students, I'm feeling down too. 

I want some free time.
