Routine Gynocological Exam, Herpes?

Hara, Hara

M we select nights spent working on the computer I have earned a long absence on the blog, I've won against enormous satisfaction of academic and human resources. Urge then a quick stock of the situation and relative depth:

The course master level with Hara ended last Monday with the presentation of the project in all six professors - interesting number about five hundred students - Faculty of Design, from now on Kisode: I enter the classroom with my five companions (tesissimi!) and I find myself on a projector, a dozen seats, six sheets of paper with a list of students, six pens all lined up, six glasses and six empty bottles of water, a stopwatch and a bell. All the elements together and you will be facing a real degree committee ready and eager to listen and critique what you have to say. All of a sudden I realized the horror of my companions. What are the clock and the bell? Easy. Each student has eight minutes to expose what is my guide, not a second longer. How long it took me? 7 ' 59". L'Italia è più vicina alla Svizzera che al Giappone.
Alla fine della mia esposizione mi trovo di fronte sei bocche aperte dallo stupore per la mia presentazione - non lo dico per farmi bello, è stato quasi imbarazzante e piacevole sentirsi fare tanti complimenti - finché Hara sensei se ne esce con un " La tua presentazione è bellissima, forse più bella che il tuo progetto ". Risate. Discuto con i professori di ciò che può diventare la mia guida, e dopo una ventina di minuti che sono fuori alla cattedra me ne vado tra gli applausi di tutti. Me ne torno al mio posto, dove Hara mi regala il suo ultimo libro con tanto di dedica. Commosso.

Martedì era il torno di Printing: I hang my three posters and wait for my turn to expose. Meanwhile notice invites me to go and get my guide (that contained a few lines higher) to talk to everyone and show what a beautiful project. Bando sensei I'll be back and is more talkative than usual, and this time around with great enthusiasm translates. End of the course, cheers to all and all for the quality of work produced. Notice, however, I devoted a private comment before leaving: " I'm impressed by your ability to synthesize, learning and expression of a culture for you so far away. Thank you very much." I could not respond in kind, if not with an embarrassed and shy " ... thanks to you." Most likely I was also turned red.

Saturday comes the turn of group work: the fateful Infomuseum. Two nights spent in the company of three sciamanna Japanese did not know which way to turn, so much fun, so much despair ... in short, a lot of experience. Like any group work - but not just add - you end to do everything possible just a few minutes before our turn. About Us Hara clothes to all four the same, the same T-shirt silk-screen printed by me and Ippei, same pins prepared at night, and eighteen posters. Hara says the work " Marco, there is clearly a strong influence on your style, very clear and very clean. I really like." Questa volta però non sono per niente d'accordo, ma i complimenti me li prendo lo stesso e non mi lamento; un po' di culo ogni tanto ci vuole.

I voti arriveranno a settembre per posta. Non mi importano molto, sono già contento così. Per adesso non vedo l'ora di rimettere le gambe sotto la mia scrivania del mio adorato Labo.

Ah! Ho finito gli esami, tutti. おわった!
