The Old Days

I need to go to bed because it is 12:40am. now.
I was going to try to sleep but at last I got up again and came in front of the computer. bad, bad...

If I can start over my life, I would be back at age 16.
And I hoped I was much clever when I was in that time.
However life is always difficult to change, and I am just flowed by the current.
(I will write rest of this story later, if I would not forget it)

I cannot remember when I found my interesting to the overseas. 
Let me try to remember... I wanted to go to Australia when I got second married.
Then I started saving extra money from my part time work.
And I was thinking when my saving got 1,000,000yen, I intended to surprise my husband, and took my family to Great barrier leaf. I was 35 or 36, just started my part time job as a health care assistant in a hospital.

When I was a nursing student, I had not thought about go to the overseas.
I was 39. But I was interested in listening English.
I was watching ER and that was my most favorite TV program.
My curiousness to English began at same time of started to do nursing and started to watch ER. I was thinking Emergency room nurse is absolutely COOL!
And the TV program, all ER stories were speedy, sometimes there were love romance, and all roles of the actors and the actresses looked so clever. I wanted to be like them. 

I also cannot remember when I decided to study English. It was not before get inter the nursing school.  Let me think...when I first went to Australia I was still not interested in English. My friend suggested me to bring at least English books, even just a travel English book. I used just a sentence from the book that was  "May I take your picture?" The one sentence covered whole trip of New Caledonia.

In 2003, I went to Melbourne, I did not care about I could not speak any English, but when I talked Steve's father, he was a very nice person and I had no idea what can I say Thanks to him. Since then I have thought can speak English is much advantage to talk range of people in the world.

Finally, I came to New Zealand for learning English.
( I became sleepy. I will write rest of the story later)
