Monday, May 8, 2006 : After a Long Time I Visited Kansai Medical University Again

I went to Kansai Medical University to retake the exam for graduation.
Last year, I didn't pass the test in the field of plastic surgery.
But I will definitely pass this time!
I found out today that there seems to be no one I know left at the university.
I felt quite lonely that everyone I knew from this place had left so soon.
I ate in the South Building while watching TV and sitting on the sofa, the same thing I used to do in this place.
"Oh, very good old memories.... I used to sit here and have lunch so often."
Then I went to another place and sat on the bench and relaxed with a cup of coffee.
And then I looked up and saw the tall building where I used to take lessons.
I remember when I was a sophomore in this university,
I often sat here with my friends to relax,
and told each other that if we got good grades we would go upstairs,
and that it would take a long time for all of us to graduate from this university.
This is the place where I spent my twenties,
and the friends who remind me of that time are mostly in other places now,
so these stories sound very nostalgic to me.
Time has passed, and I feel that this place only brings back poignant memories.
which gives me the motivation to keep going.
