Four years and 264 days in a row have passed since I kicked smoking.
I was able to keep over 4-time push-ups for the thirteenth consecutive day
including the latest two days of fifteen times of them.
It's been raining since last evening, sometimes a littel and sometimes very heavily.
I feel the autumn rain front stays over Japan a little earlier than usual,
which means I'm wondering if the winter cold may come earlier than usual.
....I'm really araid so.
Anyway, the first thing I should do is enjoy this year's autumnal weather.

What was the most difficult situation you have ever faced?


Well, when I was a college student, I really had a hard time trying to get credit
in Russian as a second language.
It was a required subject needed for graduation.
It was just one day before the examination.
I was in a terrible pinch because I was completely in the dark about Russian.
Then, a senior student, who was living next to my studio, gave me a piece of paper,
which included Russian sentences and their Japanese translation.
They were what would be on the exams the next day.
I really did my best to memorize the first three Russian words of each sentence
and their whole Japanese translation.
Finally, I really managed to get through the exam.
If the senior had not given me the paper, I could not have graduated from the college.
