Mei-Shun wonders why she still stays one bag of sugar behind the goal, as long as 4 months have already passed. She knows there are several points on the way: while she is on satisfactory decline in weight, her shape does not make remarkable change. And vice versa. Hey, mischievous textbook, please stop calling her “d.e.b”. Anyway tonight, she would treat herself to a glass of sake Shin’s young friend brewed in Paris.

Master Spanish
StandardToday is the last for Mei-Shun’s favorite radio program de español. It represents o-mo-te-na-shi, hospitality to guide guests from Spanish speaking countries. Although we missed a chance to give it at the big sport event this year, she will continue to study this language in preparation for a test expected in June. These six months also let her learn how to play “Nocturne Posth.” composed by Master Chopin.
Not So
Standard… easy it is. Mei-Shun meant to resume kabuki dance practice at home in preparation for stage performance in autumn. However, having been used to spend weekdays in horsey riding, Spanish and piano, she has to squeeze out time available keeping good health. One idea therefore is to shift into her own “summer time”: loosen schedule to dance with horseies who prefer winter.
No More
Standard… point of no return. Mei-Shun means it on coming March 31st when she visits another hospital for health check. Aiming to reach the real goal, she would resume her methods which tend to be ignored these days. Less exercise caused by rainfall also makes her vulnerable toward weight gaining. May she treat herself to 冨貴寄, reserving the biggest can to be delivered on above date?
Wake Up!
StandardMei-Shun was a bad old girl this week — she did not well listen to the radio program of Spanish. However, since she has already learned how to play Nocturne “posthumous” composed by Master Chopin, this romantic piece is now on the list of her scores available. Even if it does not yet flow smoothly, practice is the best way to improve. So it was for the great work by Master Bach.
Spanish Again
StandardMei-Shun resumed to study it from October listening to a radio program. It means she may go ahead in practice of the new score composed by Master F. Chopin. She knows that even 鬼=oni, devils would laugh if we talk about next year, yet would keep her goals to pass both “Cuarto grado de la Evaluación del Conocimiento de la Lengua Española” and “Japanese language teaching competency test”.
Time Table
StandardSpanish radio program Mei-Shun listen to is broadcasted from Monday to Wednesday. The same 15 minutes on Thursday and Friday seem to be for those who already won the 4th or even 3rd grade of the “Evaluación del Conocimiento Lengua de la Española”. She therefore made it a rule to train her ear, mouth and brain for above easier three days a week. What would come into the vacancy of two weekdays?
Too Late
StandardMei-Shun’s application for Spanish test was. It seems she lost all scenarios, had no reply from the secretariat so far. Anyway, it is she who made a mistake. She resumed listening to the radio program from Monday, in preparation for the next chance. Since it is re-broadcasting of April-September 2018, textbooks are already in her hands. Let her enjoy 15-minute hearing, followed by writing practice every weekday.
Piano Or …
StandardSpanish, which does Mei-Shun take in 2019? She was so careless that forgot the deadline to apply for the test: today. She rushed to a post office to send a letter toward the secretariat, asking for necessary forms to fill in. What would happen hereafter? They might give her the document in, or out of time. They may return her letter because of pressed schedule. Her odds are 5-2-3.
Spanish First
StandardYes, Mei-Shun would, certainly. However, she asked Shin to order a new score composed by Master F. Chopin. Nocturne No. 20 “Lento con gran espressione” was heard as BGM for a popular TV drama she liked before. She made it a rule to study Spanish before practicing this lyrical tune. It is shocking anyway that half-an-year interval decayed her memory accumulated by the same period.
