"Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there."

Tomorrow I will start the classes in Mita Campus of Keio University Summer School of their Extension classes.
I will take the Japanese Economic History and the Japanese Legal History, both have huge books to read in a week. I think a year of intensive study of Japanese is needed, so I will do so.
I started retaking courses in the university was to get  credentials in teaching social studies in Japanese high school and still pursuing today for that.
