How can I transition from non-routine life back to routine life?
Get OUT
I went to Niseko in my winter break. With my parents. And my sister. And Suzu. Some of you may know, but Suzu Hiroyama is a graduate of HIS, friend of my sister and sister of Lyu. So five of us were crammed up in our car, we sent our snowboard beforehand, and drove to Niseko. We stopped by Otaru on the way to eat good seafood. There we met other friends of Suzu. Suzu has lots of friends.
As soon as we got to Niseko, my sister, Suzu and I went straight to the Hirafu place from the hotel to snowboard nighter. We had complains. We saw sometimes bare ground around the snow, it was kinda warm, it was kinda icy. Few of the lifts weren’t moving. Luckily the weather was clean. We said this was severe. But thinking back now, that was the best day of the trip.
The next two days were awful. It was raining intermittently, there were a huge lot of people, it was icy and scary, hurting when you fall. On the first day it was warm and raining the whole day we were soaked wet when we got home. At the end of the second day, we finally found a good spot at the top. But we were half lost. My sister had to trudge through snow for half an hour because she got stuck in powder snow. It was pretty fun.
Other things of the trip were more fun than the actual snowboarding. Food. My dad is dexterous. He made dinner in the hotel because there were a kitchen. He made sandwiches, nabe, udon after nabe. We went to a genghis khan place on the second day. Very good.
We played games at night. A game like scrabble. It was called bananagram. Mutiny for me. Suzu won, I won, but my sister never won. Maybe the first time in my life. My sister is a genius in games. I just had more experience than her in bananagram. Basically our trip was fun. The snowboarding were awful, but other fun things can be always found in a trip. A trip is never futile.
On the last day, we sent off Suzu at a hotel place because she got a bus to go to Otaru. Our family went home driving. We were tired so we just slept. When we got home, we dislodged all baggage, at home, and got back to usual days. Trips are outside routine. It’s the best way to get outside routine, because when you get back, the environment change is so obvious it’s much easier to turn the switch on and off. So I did nothing of kind of homeworks in Niseko, but started after I got back.

Question:
How can I make use of knowledge?
How can I make use of knowledge?
All around life
What is knowledge anyway? We often say we get them from books. Newspapers. TV. Internet. Or just learning. School. Vocabulary is knowledge. We learn them, just like now, in walking dictionaries. Knowing tons of words is knowledge. How do we use them? For example, bawl and hoarse are very similar. They both mean cry out, harsh sounding in pain. Similar. But different. It’s the kind of difference like excellent and superb. There are differences in nuance in there, that if you know, and make proper use in writings, it can make a language vivid and detailed. Creating moods. Very important, to improve a writing skill. Writing skills can be used in essays, school works, much more in your life. Here’s a way to make use of knowledge.
Further on, what happens if your writing skill is good? You might get better scores in tests, such as AP, SAT, ACT, IELTS, TOEFL, many more, right. If you get good scores in those tests, that will give you opportunities for better school. Or maybe, other exams in every country, as Eigo Kentei in Japan, would give you good labels. You can write them in dossiers, school or test, when you want a job. That’s a future use of knowledge. In better jobs, you gain more knowledge. Better and better, growing linear. Better school, better work, better knowledge, better life.
So is this all about knowledge? Schoolwork? Let’s get bit off the side. Knowledge in general, in life. Not the schoolwork side. Like life knowledge. How to get along with people. Being toady is one. It does sound bad but it’s not always a bad method. There’s a saying in Japan, Looking Good in Eight Every Way. Happou Bijin. If you do it good, you make lots of friends but no enemy. Where do we get those knowledge? Social places. Experience. There isn’t much difference than schoolworks. Practice makes perfect. School, working places, city, neighborhood. We always have to learn how to get along with people. A truly toady expert would be able to get along with any kind of people, severe, malicious or imperious, but keep their own opinion, and even make mutiny while being toady. That’s called convention, persuasion, or leadership. That would be the goal for a social person. He or she would be the true operator of his or her surroundings, and themselves. Better life.
So, as a conclusion, how can we make use of our knowledge? All around our life, basically. Schoolwork, life work, anywhere, we practice, build up our knowledge for better quality.
