11th Anniversary

March 20th, 2008

Today is an anniversary for me. It has been exactly 11 years since I  moved to the US for the first time. Back in 1997, March 19th when I was still enjoying my 20s, I had a farewell party called “Oggy FINAL” in Ebisu, Tokyo to drink with lots of friends, co-workers in Japan and then I flew to San Jose on the next day. I worked in Silicon Valley from March 20th 1997 through September 2002 for 5.5 years as a software engineer, technical analyst and planner. I fully enjoyed my first US life like outdoor activities, sports, wine tasting, home parties… I was also inspired and affected by the Silicon Valley events/cultures including the dot com booms and even the recessions during the period. I moved back to Tokyo for 2002-2007 but I have returned to the US (Midwest) now.  

Well, amazingly it’s the 11th time already. Time flies and life is short!

Today

March 8th, 2008

DSC00153s2.jpg

Just moved in to “McManus”, the dormitory (寮) for Kellogg students!

  • URL:http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/stu_aff/housing/
  • Room: 1 Bedroom (i.e., 1 LDK): 2BR & Studio are also available.
  • Facility: Group Study Room, Playroom, Excercise room, Wireless LAN and so on.  
  • 第一次感想/雰囲気: 多少古いが住むには十分。学生として必要な環境は全て揃っているし、快適に過ごせそう。夜は、早速廊下で International な食べ物(カレーなど)の香りが漂っていた。出会った人は気軽に声をかけてきてくれる。
  • 荷物搬入: 昨日は「暑い!」と書いたのだが、今日はこの写真の撮影直後に激しい豪雨に遭い、足止め+荷物の搬入に一苦労。しかし、ひとまず落ち着いた。
  • 明日買うもの: トイレットペーパー(プライオリティ高)!
