To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow....Macbeth, Act 5

Dear Students and Friends

We had a typhoon this morning, but more than that rain in Kyoto flooded Katsura River.
Tomorrow Nihon University will start their second semester. That means I have to start working.
The Blog will be used by the university students to be read for writing their Journals.
The first thing is always Self Introduction.

Quote:
"To-morrow, and To-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this pretty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time.
Macbeth, Act 5, Sc.5
Shakespeare
