My diary

Wednesday, September 14.

I spent all day at home studying for the SAT exam that it is gonna be next month. I stopped studying at about 8.30pm.
Friday, September 15. Clear.

I worked hard today. I worked from 8 to 6 without stop any time. I got home at about 7pm. I could not study anything. I was too tired to do that. I had dinner with Giose and watched Rango film to relax.
Saturday, September 16. Clear.

I worked at Kings Place from 12 to 10pm.

The company that I work has decided to have weddings as a event in the local where we usually have conference. The place is so nice because it is in front of the canal. So, the view is wonderful. The couple were very happy. She was from London and he was from Scotland. He got married with his traditional skirt. It was very interesting.

I sometimes thought about Sensei. September 16, it was the last day that I met Sensei in Japan 10 years ago. I thought about that day many times during the day. The meeting was at Soka School. Students from the first class at Soka School have decided to attend this meeting 30 years later. At the time, they were boys, in the meeting, they were adults. The meeting was very exciting, except for a moment when showed a video with one boy who could not come to the meting because he was one of the planes that hit the Twin Towers in the terrorism attack in The United States on September 11. I could feel that Sensei was deeply chanting for him while we were watching the video. . Me too. I determined once more to study and live for the sake of the humanity. Later, someone told us that althoug his daughter was suffering because of his death, she had decided to study at Soka University of America to study for the peace and happiness of humanity. I cried when I listened that.

I finished work at 10pm. I was exhausted!

I got home about 11pm. I slept at at about 1am.
Sunday, September 17. Cloudy.

I did not wake up early as i had promised to myself. I knew I needed to sleep a few hours more but I did not lose time sleeping because I wanted to study. However, Sensei says that I have to be careful with my health. I have to respect it.

I studied from 11 to 4pm for the SAT exam. I have studied from one of the books I have bought. It has helped me a lot.

I went to chant daimoku with Silmara and Paula at Paula's home. We chanted 40 minutes of daimoku and we did gongyo. Our chant was strong. I felt it. I also showed them the video that my friends from Seigan group sent to me. The video was about the day we took a picture with Sensei.

When I got home, Giose was still having a Buddhism meeting with a young men. I started to cook our dinner while they were finishing their dialogue.

Giose and I had dinner watching the film Gnomeo and Juliet. It was very funny. I want to watch it again when I have more time.
