Tomoko's Blog

Originally I made this blog to communicate with with my friends I made with in London . I arrived in London at 14th April 2005 and this is my start studying here. I like computer staff and would like to develop knowledge in that field . I am getting some knowledge from my friends who are so much in that field. So I would like to try what I get and put them on this blog which is useful and understandable for non computer expert person besides my personal diary.

do not let me down

I am writing dissertation. Since I retook exams, I am not really happy.
Our course has three exams and I failed three exams and retook three of them already.
I am not good student. I have got to admit. However it is so hard. One of three exams made half of our classmate failed. Only half of the failed classmate retook the exam. The quarter of the classmates give up without retaking exam??? I do not think so.
I can not see what going on. I just continue to write my dissertation.
If I failed exams, writing dissertation might be useless because for getting degree we need to pass the exams.
Coming to England and study here was my long time dream. My close friends in Japans know about this.
Please do not let me down, GOD!!

Road House

Last Saturday , I went to Road House, a club house in Covent garden. My land lady has two son and one of them is a musician. He played there as a band. Because of him I entered the club free. I save 10 £!! He also gave us some bottles of water so I did not need to buy drink as well. Beside it, he gave us a drive to the house. I am so happy.
This club house is really nice because it is something hybrid of nightclub and pub.
I love clubbing.
I just like listening music and dancing.
However I do not do clubbing often since I do have much friend who like it. My friends are sometimes a bit too modest. Some of my friends believe that clubbing is something for playboy and play girl. No, it is not ture.

My first dentist.

I have felt something vacuuming in my mouth for two months without pain. So I went to see a dentist which my landlady has been a patient of for long time.

The ceiling there were many post card and posters so that patients can see. It is a good idea isn't it?!
I do not like dentist not only the treatment there is painful but also sometimes I can not trust dentist. Since we can not see inside the mouth, if a dentist makes up some problem which is not there , what can we do for it? They can harm our healthy tooth and demand payment. Am I too skeptical??
In Japan, we can never get a receipt which express the exact detail. We can only get the total price receipt. My friends who works as an dentist receptionist said dentists cheat much in pricing and this is why they never provide us exact detail receipt. Is
it true? If you are Japanese dentist, let me know about this.
At least that fact they do not provide the exact detail receipt is true. Actually once I required a exact detail receipt at Japanese dentist to find out the truth. They say something like they usually do not provide and therefore they can not.
My landlady said that before she had bad experience with another dentist. So I do not say Japanese dentists are bad and English dentists are good and so on. All over the world there are good people and bad people mixing.

Today's dentist,
He explained my explicitly and I understood very well my situation and cost for it.
I like this dentist. I did only get simple receipt though.

vintage

"Vintage" is the word I got reasently.
"A season's yield of wine from a vineyard".
Do you know what I mean??
Yes, I am going there.
One Japanese lady is try to make a new business about green tourism. Tourist can attend collecting grapes and meking wines. She was searching some person who try this tour. Since this is the test, they do not expect any profit from tourist.
They just would like to find out what the tourists feel and think there.
We need to buy air ticket however other things we do not need.
I and my friend decided to this tour as testers.

We are to stay in the frieneds' family house near the vinyard and work two day at the vinyard. Sound nice isn't it.
I seacretly expect nice family dish there.
Now I am working on my dissertaion with being scared that I might not be able to finish or fail. But The idea of this tour help me a lot.
I think I should work hard so that I can go this tour without any worry after I finish the dissertation.
Envy us!!!
