For me, this course was really interesting.
As I wrote in the first blog topic for SE, I like writing very much, both in Japanese and English.
I can't think I'm good at academic writing, so I don't like such writing very much (it's sometimes really interesting, though). However, in this course, I could write whatever I wanted to write. I wrote a personal narrative, a book review and a lyric, and each one is what I hoped to write.
Moreover, this was the first time for me to be given many advices for what I wanted to write from the teacher and the classmates. It was so meaningful for me. I don't want to stop writing, and the advices I was given will be very useful.
This is the last blog topic for Sophomore English Course.
I enjoyed to keep a blog in English very much, and I want to keep this blog.
I'm also keeping a blog in Japanese for more than five years, so please come if you're interested in...

I Went to TOT Today!
Today, I went to the music event in Shibuya O-EA
ST with my friend, which is "Tears of Today".
I didn't know any artists who performed today, but my friend likes one artist and he took me out to the event.
His favorite artist is "Hitorie".
If you are the heavy user of NICO-NICO Douga, probably you know the name of "wowaka", who is one of the most famous vocaloid producer. The vocalist of Hitorie is wowaka.
I didn't know much about such things, but Hitorie was so cool.
Actually, the artists who performed in this live were a little noisy for me (even though I'm used to the loud music!), but they were not noisy (loud, though). Simply, I liked their music very music.
This month, I can go to so many lives!
I will go to more than 10 lives this month, and three of them are next week.
I'm very happy!

My Sister Sato
I have a younger sister, whose name is Sato.
My name is 沙耶 (Saya), and her name is 沙都 (Sato). We have same character in each name.
Our names are very similar, so it is clear that we are sisters by our names.
Sato and I are like best friends (at least, I think so).
We can talk everything, include something we cannot talk to our parents.
We sometimes have quarrel, but after 10 minutes or so, we soon forget about it.
Sato is now 17 years old.
Next year, she will take the entrance exam for universities.
She says she want to go to the university in Hokkaido, so maybe she will live in Hokkaido by herself. I must feel really lonely, but it's her dream, so I want to back her up.

I saw the movie "TSUNAGU"
Today, I saw a movie.
The title of the movie is "Tsunagu", which is originally the novel written by Tsujimura Mitsuki, who is one of my favorite writers.
I don't think the value of the movie is decided by whether the audience cry or not, but I cried by this movie very much.
I'm a fan of the original book, so I knew the story before I saw the movie (Actually, my second piece is the book review of "Tsunagu"). I didn't think I would cry. But I cried, maybe because of the actors.
Every actor was really good, but especially I liked Ai Hashimoto and Mirei Kiritani bery much. Ai Hashimoto is my favorite actress, and the scene which she cried was one of the climax of this movie. Mirei Kiritani was just the character whom I imagined when I read the novel.
It was the first time for me to cry by the movie because of the actors.
I really recommend this movie.

My Obituary
Saya Kojima passed away on September 1st, at the age of 50.
Ms. Kojima was born in 1992, in Tokyo. She loved music since her childhood, so after she graduated from university, she worked as a music writer. She worked at famous music magazine company. 10 years after she entered the company, she became independent, and played an active role in music industry as a music journalist. She set up many music events and a number of people were excited by them.
She worked so hard as a journalist, but on the other hand, she treasured her family very much. Though she had no children, she had quite good relationship with her husband. In holidays, they often traveled together. Two weeks before her death, they went to Salar de Uyuni, which had been their dream for long time.
Ms. Kojima's funeral will be held at her home, only by her family and friends. In the funeral, some musicians who were the friends of Ms. Kojima will perform.

Studied with Kouhai
Today, I was called by my Kouhai, Risa, and I taught her English.
Risa is two years younger than me, and she is going to take the entrance exam next Saturday.
She said she is not good at English, and I was good at English (for the exam), so she asked me to help her.
We hadn't seen each other so long time, so I worried that we might not study much but talk so much, but I need not think it. She was really serious. We studied for six hours!
I don't know I can be helpful for her, but I strongly hope she can do well in the exam.

My View of Religion
I am very familiar with Christianity, because I went to Christian elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I have wanted to baptize for several times, but I couldn't.
My father is very strict Buddhist. He believes in Nichirenshu (日蓮宗), and he worship a household Buddhist alter every day morning and evening. He is so strict that when he got married with my mother, he refused to sing hymns (I hear this from my mother). Also, when I was a child, I found that my father and grandfather had quarreled. I heard that my grandfather was chosen as "Uziko" of the local shrine, just during a festival. My father was very angry about it, and he insisted my grandfather should decline it.
Through these incidents, I understood that my father hates other religions than Buddhism. So I could never say that I want to receive baptism.
I'm going to be 20 years old next December, so it will be the chance for me to think about receiving baptism. This time, I hope I can decide without my father's effect.
