My life at the
University of Tsukuba is very meaningful. I live in Mito, and I go to the
university by train and bus. In the train, I usually gaze vacantly at the
clouds, read books, or do homework. In the bus, I like to see Tsukuba’s
beautiful scenery such as Mt. Tsukuba from the window. Every season’s scenery
from the window changes beautifully. When I’m on my way home, I usually sleep
because of physical fatigue. At the university, I attend class. I belong to the
‘human cultural studies’ group and I specialize in archaeology. The group is
gradually divided into a detailed specialized field and becomes more interesting.
I’m happy to talk with my friends who specialize in archaeology. I want to
reveal life and the society of people in the prehistoric age by studying methods
of manufacturing, circulation, and the usage of stone tools. However, the
times, areas, and objects, which my friends are going to study are different
even if they belong to the same specialty category ‘archaeology’. I receive
stimulation by hearing their stories and can encourage myself to try to study
hard. I have had to do a lot of homework and prepare for lessons since the
beginning of this year. I have been very busy, but have sent fulfilling days. I’m happy to study what I have wanted to master. I
spend very splendid days at the University of Tsukuba.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your reply. I'm interested in prehistoric culture. I think it is very interesting to reveal people's life, society and belief by researching relics which out of remains. Unlike philology, relics shows us a lot of hints from a lot of viewpoints to reveal people's culture.

Hello, Chiaki. This is Satomi.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for having been not replying for a long time.
I'm interested in Japanese remains, but I also think that I must consider other area's remains in order to compare them.
