* I have only about one week left after I have studied here for four and a half months.
I still cannot imagine that I will be in Japan in a week.
At first I thought four and a half months would be a long time, but that period actually passed so quickly that I felt it was so short.
Have I grown up through this experience of mine abroad?
I must have grown up.
* The Rugby World Cup was held here in New Zealand this year.
I think I was lucky because I was able to go to Oakland to see NZ team win in the final match with my own eyes.
I certainly never forget this inevitable coincidence.
* Of course, it is hard for me to say good-bye to friends I have made here.
I will miss them but we will be friends anytime and anywhere as long as we regard each other as friends.
So we do not have to worry about our parting.
That's because we will be friends for good.
