New Year's Party

I went to the New Year's party held at Prof.J's house.
It was the fourth invitation since I graduated. Every year students graduated. So our OB and OG increase more and more. Every year OB party is held on a large scale in spring. But invitation to his house is special for us.

We gathered at the party each bringing something with us. In this case, we shouldn't bring foods of Italy. I learned it from previous experience. He and his wife lived in Italy before. She cooked well and they are particular about Italian food. So I made a European but not Italian dessert. It was good choice.

I might not need to explain, his study is about cities in the Mediterranean littoral. Some Japanese had studied in Italy or Turkey or Spain when they were students. And international students from the Islamic world and the U.S. joined the party. Don't worry. They're good friends. As you know, women from the Islamic world cannot eat pork. So we sometimes had to consider the ingredients of dishes. Was this soup stock pork or chicken? It was like a quiz.

A friend of mine from school and his wife told me they recently visited Manazuru town and look at the building I designed and oversaw the construction site. They gave their impressions of it frankly. He asked me about some points which should be improved. I was really glad. It's easy to say nice things. Because they had careful look at the building, they could say opinions on it.

When I belonged to the laboratory, I didn't know what might happen in the future. I always thought I wanted to be an architect but I had no confidence. I often stayed up all night to draw plan and make a model. I didn't know only how to makeup.
I and my friends became a man /a woman and we can do something now. I felt time has gone by and thought I'm a really lucky person. I can enjoy this moment with my great teacher and my friends from this laboratory. I talked to them the concept of the building drinking a glass of wine. I felt happy. New Year came.
