It is Sunday during the lockdown in Sydney. I spent most of my time watching Netflix and reading books. I enjoy watching The 100 on Netflix and I can’t stop watching it. I am reading The Last Correspondent and the University only exists here (in Japanese). I should have read more, to be honest. Also, I am listening to Give and Take
Someone in the book said the book, travel, and relationship will help you grow. I am not sure they are all but I think these three are important ones. Since travelling is not welcomed at the current stage, I should focus on reading books and relationships at work and personal. For me, I didn’t do well on reading the last few years. Now, I realized that reading less causes losing my curiosity. I have read a lot, I have found something I am interested in. Now I should get back on the foot.
Today, I was reading a book about a new university in Japan which were built 20 years ago. That book was written by Deguchi Haruaki who is president there. Honestly speaking, I am a bit critical about his career but I heard good things about him. I wanted to know more about him and the university. The university is called APU (Ritsumeikan Asian Pacific University). That university is trying many new ideas which I like them while I still don’t call it university because they teach very few disciplines. They have many international universities students from all over the world. The student and university are open-minded. I like it. On the other hand, if what they are doing is right, I want them to prove if they can teach many disciplines not like teaching only a few like management and study of Asian Pacific. Unfortunately, there is no science course there, I don’t have anything to help with. Maybe in the future. I will keep reading this book and learn more about it.
Now we start working tomorrow. Writing my papers always delay but I should do my best now to finish them all during this lockdown time. After I could go through the writing process, I will read a lot more and I will have more ideas to go next. I am looking forward to it.
