I successfully submitted my paper. I also got to talk with a fellow doctoral student who's now an assistant professor, and we had a great time together.

I don't know if it will be accepted by the journal, but I've achieved one of my goals for this year. Maybe I'll write another paper next year?

Is it true that researchers are leaving X?

I would love to use this as an opportunity to connect with gender researchers abroad.

Do you remember, this day 13 years ago? There was a big earthquake in Japan. There was an accident at a nuclear power plant.

Will I go back to my hometown, Fukushima, someday?

What will I think then?

I wrote the Barrett Journal and Morning Journal this morning. My head is feeling good and tired. Now I just need to update my social networking site called "note".

Today I went to "Tokyo Daijingu" and stopped by Starbucks and came back home. Let's go about our daily lives solemnly. I will try to find some donation site for the affected areas.

I want to eat ramen. With garlic and bean paste.

I bought and drank coffee from 7-11 after a long time. It was delicious. Considering it costs less than one dollar, the cost performance is really good, isn’t it?

The story of an ordinary Japanese office worker who moves to Finland. The book is composed of cartoons and columns and is very easy to read.

What is the current demand for Judith Butler overseas? In Japan, there is still demand and the book is still being read. But what about the demand and criticism of Butler overseas?

It's been a while since I've bought a book to keep up with the latest queer and gender theories.

These are hard times for smokers. More and more people in Japan are smoking electronic cigarettes. I am one of them. But sometimes I want to smoke a paper cigarette. With beer as an accompaniment.

Coffee makes me sick to my stomach and it's hard. But I can't stop drinking it. Maybe I'm behind the times, but I can't stop combining cigarettes, coffee, and books.

I can't stop thinking about how I would live the rest of my life. I still want to do research in philosophy. In particular, I want to do research on the theory of the body.

It has been five years since I dropped out of graduate school without a PhD. In Japan, I would be considered a loser. I wish I could go to graduate school overseas in the future.

When I get older I would love to go back to grad school. I hope to get a PhD this time around then. What field would I be studying then?

I am saddened by my own stupidity.
