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…。

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.

This conversation is interesting for me.

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.

I think this kind of merger is a good thing. 
Japan is too slow at consolidating.

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.

I studied at university again today while doing other things, but it was a precious time.
I didn't make any meaningful progress, though. 
I want the students to understand this feeling. 
But I need to get into gear.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the new semester. 
I haven't prepared anything yet, but I'm going to focus on research. 
That's because I don't have much time left.

My research and other projects are posted on Slack.

I want to put an end to these kinds of incidents. 
What should we do?

I really need to start working on my thesis.

Corporate law is interesting.

I receive the phto from a Italien friend.
It is Misky.

Today I went to Niseko for my research.
Although the season is over, there were a lot of people. 
There seemed to be a lot of foreigners, both guests and staff.
The mountain was either hard with ice or crunchy from melting, which was a bit depressing.

I walked around Hirafu, Hanazono and Annupuri, and it was pretty much the same as it was a few years ago. 
Since the season is over, there were not many people around - this is also a problem. 
I regret it every year, but I have to walk around during the season.

In the evening, instead of going to university, I stayed home and wrote thesis and studied.
I was really tired.
