【January27th&28th】full daily life:)

Hello,today is January 28th.Yesterday I couldn't write blog again.Sorry.

Yesterday,after internship I ate dinner and drunk alcohol with my housemate's friend.Actually this was our first time to eat dinner and talked a lot,but we talked very deeply and I enjoyed:)I thought even thought I start to work I want to think about society,especially Japan.It means broad view of things.
Because of three beer,I drunk somehow,thank you my bf.......After meeting and I got home I fall a sleep in 15min lol These days I spent almost my time for internship(From 6:30am to 8 or 9 pm)Actually I don't have enough time to do what I want to do.I mean free time.However maybe after I start to work at company,same things will happen.Now I'm a little bit afraid lol
But I think I should become good at time management.


Today I succeeded to negotiate to my father,next month I'll go to Las vegas for fashion exhibition.Magic♡I'm intern,but I want to make a result and know new things more and more at this opportunity:)

【January13th&14th】Feeling which I didn't feel for a while

Hello,today is January 13th.Yesterday I didn't write a blog.Sorry.Yesterday,many unexpected things happen,so I felt like I'm wasting my time,so when I got home
,I went to bed as soon as possible to refresh!!!!

Today was also my internship day.As I already mentioned in this blog, next month,Big exhibition will be held in Japan and Las Vegas.So today I sent many many promotion e-mails for company.
And also I was making promotion project plan which I'll propose my boss:)To analyze something and decide strategy is very fun♪I want to start this project as soon as possible.
Through some months,I discovered how I can contribute,and what I was required. Both of my boss are Japanese,but they have living in USA for a long time.So sometimes they're lacking of the view of Japanese,it means I can say my opinion and contribute as a intern from fresh points.

After I got home,I made 節約 Pasta and watched ”Naoki Hanzawa(半沢直樹)lol
It was interesting,but I watched only one episode because I had to do something.
After I watched Naoki Hanzawa,I did some tasks for event.
Now my feeling is excited and a little bit nervous, when I was a university student,I often felt same feeling,but after I came America,I didn't feel this feeling for a while.
It's good♪

Anyway, by the middle of February my schedule is a little bit hard,but I'll enjoooooooooy♡♡

Thank you for reading,see you tmr:)

Hello,today is January 7th.

Today was also my internship day.This morning I got up about 6am,

and went to my bus stop as usual,but today my bus was delayed for long time,so

I was late for office:(When I missed my bus from downtown(Actually I need transfer from downtown to my office),my heart was blue,but it's ok♪Anyway I decided to take a bus a little bit earlier:)I reconsidered my personality and character it was great opportunity.

These days, I got used to my work a little by little.Its good thing,I can think and take action from many points of view♪Because I don't want to do only what I was asked to do from my boss.I want to beyond this point as soon as possible,but to beyond trust,result,speed,every thing is important.I'll do what I can do anyway.

He told me that now he felt happiness and his growth.Once he will go back to Japan February to get VISA,and he will come back Seattle.He asked me some questions,why I came here ,whether I want to live America,etc.....And I answered "Now I want to go back to Japan."Actually I like America but Now I don't want to live for a long time, maybe one of reason is that I want to work and become independent as soon as possible.Yeahh,but before I start to work, I have much time.I want to maximize this time.

【January3rd】Two hours meeting:)

Hello,today is January 3rd:)Today was my first internship day of this new year.

In internship, we had two hours meeting to discuss this year's goal and catch up situation.Those are things what I learned today(Sorry I wrote in Japanese,because I'm sleepy now lol Maybe I'll change to English later)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
•誰もやったことないことにTryをして新しいケースを作っていくことの大切さ。
（難しいことをいかにシンプルにできるのかがキーポイント）
•国際経済の影響を受けないようなビジネスシステムをどのように作っていくのか。
•まずは相手を知ることが大切。
•＋から−よりも−から+になった時の方が関係は強くなる。
•やっぱり全ては信頼関係。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually I don't have enough knowledge of international economics,so I couldn't understand some discussion in this meeting,so just I searched some vocabularies in google:)  

After internship, I ate hotpot with my friends who were doing same project last quarter.During conversation,we talked many things.We talked about"気を使うこと”＝”consider"And I though there are two meaning when we consider another person.
------------------------------------------------------------------
▼人に気を使うとは？
(Sorry I wrote in Japanese,because I'm sleepy now lolMaybe I'll change to English later)
•周りの目を気にするから気を使うこと
•相手のことを思いやるからこその気を使うこと
-----------------------------------------------------------------
気を使うことと相手を思いやることの境界線って難しいのだ。
I just wanted to keep my discovery.

Today I was thinking a lots of things,so my brain is almost sleeping lol However I like to think,because one of good point of studying abroad is I have enough time to think.hehehehe♪

Thank you for reading.
See you tmr:)

〜2013年の振り返りと2014年の抱負〜

みなさん、こんにちは＾＾そしてあけましておめでとうございます♪
年のはじめということで2013年度の振り返りと2014年度の抱負をブログにおさめておきたいと思います。

【2013年の振り返り】
2013年を一言で表すと自分に向き合った休息の1年だったのではないかと思います。
ずっと高校生の時から夢だったアメリカ留学、色々なリスクがある中決断した留学、背中をおしてくれた親の存在、日本にいる素敵な仲間達、シアトルで出会った素敵な人達。やっぱりこの1年を振り返る中で自分にとって留学はとっても大きかったと思います。

アメリカという地での人との出会い、自分が予想しない出来事、就職活動などの中で、自分がどのような人間なのかということをしみじみと感じる機会が多かったです。自分と価値観も似ていて居心地もいい人達に恵まれている日本と離れたからこそ、自分と向き合うことができました。自分に向き合ったからこそ、今の自分に足りないこともたくさんたくさん見つけることができて、その度に自分まだまだだなーと思う機会もたくさんありました。

それと共に今年1年は”組織に属する”とうことから離れて個人として自分のやりたいことや自分の目標に向かって色々なことに挑戦してきました。色々経験はできたのですが、なぜかよっしゃやったるー！って感じのあの勢いのある大学4年間の自分とは違う自分がここにはいて、2013年を振り返ってみると何故かものたりなかったと思います。だから休息の1年というようにしました。

そして最後に人に頼ること、素直になることを教えてくれたMy boyfriendにも感謝の気持ちを示したいと思います。いつもありがとう。

【2014年の抱負】
2014年は”夢の実現と極める”としたいと思います。
夢の実現とは、ずっとやりたかった友人達への再会の旅に世界をまわることです。人とのつながりはずっと大切にしたいなぁーと思う中で1回出会ってもう一生会うことのない関係はとても寂しいとも思います。だからこそ、色々な意味で自分の人生に関わってくれた友人達に再会して感謝の気持ちを伝えたいです。その夢がいよいよ実現するのです。（あの時の自分よりも成長してるのかなーという想いはありますが）

そして極めるとは•••
おそらく今年の9月頃から社会に出ることになると思います。まずは挑戦するフィールドも決まったので人事という道を極めたいです。極めるためにはインプット、経験、そして自分らしさ、自分にしかできないことを意識してとにかくがむしゃらに頑張りたいです。
そして今年の年末にはキャリアウーマンっぽくなってたらいいなー♡（遠い目）

改めまして、皆さん昨年度は大変お世話になりました。いつもありがとうございます。ありがとうと言うだけではなくそれを何らかの形で伝えたり、もっと人に影響の与えられる人間に少しずつ近づけるように頑張りたいと思います。そして今年度も大石莉紗らしく生きていきたいと思いますので、どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。

それではよいお年を♡

【January1st】4 Adventure of first day in 2014☆★

Hello,today is January 1st(Actually 2nd), yesterday was our last day in NY.

【First Adventure】We almost missed our flight.
We thought we had enough time to go to airport,but I mistook our flight time,and we arrived airport about 5 pm,actually our flight time was 6 pm.
And to check out baggage,there was a long long line lol
Anyway we could in time.

【Second Adventure】Our baggage wasn't arrived.
When I arrived in Seattle, we were waiting out baggage about two hours,but our baggage wasn't arrived,so we asked to deliver to our house.

【Third Adventure】We missed our last train.
But!!!We missed our last train.So we decided to stay airport all night to get first
train.

We tried to buy some food to start party:)

【Fourth Adventure】We could only use cash to buy food.
But!!! we could only use cash in the store.First we thought we didn't have enough cash,but we had as it happens.

When people encounter unexpected things,how we think those things are very important.Some people come to irritate,but other people enjoy.We enjoyed those adventures:)I want to spend my life like this.
We enjoyed last day in our trip even though we encountered unexpected things.
For me this trip was priceless.Thank you very much.

This is my first day in 2014,I think this year must be enjoyable!!!!!
Later I'll write 2014's ambition in Japanese:)

Thank you for reading.
See you later♪
