Sunny.

I’ve been away from this diary. Some guys were wondering if I was sick or something. Well， thank you， here I AM OK. There was no reason not to write， just I didn’t feel like that. I took so much time to write the notes of the journey， which might have tired me. I was trying to imitate the way of writing of Haruki Murakami in the notes， because in the book that I was reading on the train， his writing style impressed me a lot.

I bought a couple of his books; “Kafka on the Shore(海辺のカフカ)” and “Norwegian Wood(ノルウェーの森)”， I took the English Versions so I can keep in English. Haruki Murakami is so famous in this country that every bookstore has the bookshelf only with his works. They call him just “Murakami”， and Ryu Murakami’s works are also in the bookstores but he seems not as popular as Haruki. Any way I am kinda proud of it. Now I am reading “Kafka on the shore”. I have not read it， so it takes more time to understand. It is as crazy as “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle(ねじまき鳥クロニクル)”.

It is surprising that it is almost the end of May. Only two weeks are left until the end of this term. Hmm， time flies. It is getting faster and faster time goes by， which is what I’ve been told that by the adult， yet I didn’t believe really. Now I do believe it， painfully much. And there is no way to stop the time， so I have to really focus on my time. And my life.

Hmmm， life.....
