I made my final decision yesterday. I chose the sophomore girl. Despite the fact it was our first date, she said yes to become my girlfriend. The reasons why I chose her can be split into two parts. First, we share a lot of core values and hobbies, which will help us to have an […]

Python Now

After ignoring my school life for about a year, my academic performance was a mess. In order to graduate on time, I needed to finish several research within limited time.

Thoughts About Recent Center Test Reformation and English Learning

I will go straight into this topic. I do not think the recent center test reformation is a big problem. The new test system will give high school students more motivation to learn English, and potentially enhance the general English ability of Japanese people. There are many protesters around me against this reformation. Some of […]
