March 30th
Last weekend, I finished reading the book “Project Hail Mary”. I had been meaning to read this for one year, but I had only bought the original English version on Kindle. That is the reason that I hadn’t read it until last week.
What motivated me to read this was the podcast I listen to every week. The host mentioned that she voices one of the characters in Japanese dubbed version of this story. I realized that a movie adaptation was published, and this increases the risk of spoilers.
So I bought this novel’s Japanese translated version and read it.
March 31st
I had my in-person English class from January to March. Last week I had the final class. Before I joined this class, I was desperate to improve my English because I was backed into a corner, or rather, feeling pressured by my probation period. Actually, now that I have completed this class, I feel that my English has not reached my expected level, and also I am losing focus on polishing my English. That is the reason I restarted an online English class from today.
April 1st
In Japan, April 1st is the first day of the fisical year. I have never experienced the new fisical year abroad. I felt surreal.
Back to the topic of “Project Hail Mary”, I tried to talk about this topic with my colleagues during lunch time, but I don’t know how to express my thoughts in English. I need more time to process my thoughts. That’s why I still did not talk about this topic.
I think this story believes people are inherently good. I read “The Three-Body Problem” two years ago. Compared to “Project Hail Mary”, “The Three-Body Problem” was relying on the idea that people are inherently evil.
I think “Project Hail Mary” fits very well to a movie format. Because the most part of the story is proceeded by a small number of characters and the scene does not change a lot. And an important point is that it gives us hope for our future. “The Three-Body Problem” is not like this. I worried about the future after reading that story.
Tomorrow I will have an online English class. I hope I will join this without any cancellation due to my low motivation.
