Today is the notification day for JSPS grants, and I’m happy to see some colleagues getting their proposals accepted. Although I wasn’t directly involved this time, I completely understand that nervous feeling of anticipation.
I’ve never once thought that getting a JSPS grant was a sure thing. I always feel that sense of urgency. This battle for research funding will continue until the day I retire.
Second time’s the charm! After being passed over last year, I’m finally receiving an award this year ✨ Honestly, I was so busy I hadn’t even thought about it until I got the notification.
If you don’t give up, even lucky cats will eventually wave back at you 🐱 It’s worth taking a chance when opportunities arise! Deeply grateful to the selection committee who recognized our work 🙏
Yesterday (Feb 25), our university held entrance exams. The photo shows staff removing the restricted area tape – always an eye-catching moment!
We had 115 applicants for our first-year program (capacity: 45). While well-known among technical college students, we need more recognition among high school students. I hope my simple posts about campus life will help expand our visibility in the future.
#豊橋 #手筒花びな #二川本陣 #ひな祭り At Futagawa Honjin, a historic inn for samurai and feudal lords in Edo-period Japan.
This display combines Toyohashi’s Tezutsu handheld fireworks (a local tradition) with Hinamatsuri (Japan’s Doll Festival) to create “Tezutsu Hanabina.”
As a researcher, I deeply admire this innovative cultural expression.
On a chilly day, my family and I visited the Tahara Nanohana Festival! The cold kept the crowds away, allowing us to fully enjoy the vibrant yellow nanohana flowers in full bloom. The contrast between the blue sky and golden fields was stunning. Food trucks offered surprises like takoyaki at half price! Parking was easy, and visiting early gave me a strong sense of satisfaction as an early adopter.
成績入力の最終日、試行錯誤しながらなんとか終わりました!最近柑橘類が高いですが、愛南町のふるさと納税で訳あり「ポンカン」5kgをゲット🍊✨ 見た目は不揃いでも、酸味と甘味のバランスが絶妙。みかんよりプリッとした食感も良いですね。疲れた頭にぴったりの回復アイテムでした😊 It was the final day for grade submissions, and after much trial and error, I finally completed it! Citrus fruits have been pricey lately, but I got 5kg of “imperfect” Ponkan through Ainan Town’s hometown tax program 🍊✨.
They may look uneven, but their sweet-tangy balance is amazing. Firmer and juicier than mandarins, they were the perfect pick-me-up for my tired mind 😊.
修士論文発表、当研究室の学生5名が無事に終わりました!🎓 修正が終わるか危ぶまれる発表もありましたが、最後はこの笑顔😊✨ 副査として9名分の審査も担当し、負荷の分だけ新しい視点や機械工学の幅広い学びを得られました。報酬は「学び」と思える瞬間です。機会に感謝!📚✨ #修士論文発表 #研究室 #学びが報酬 The master’s thesis presentations by five students from our lab have successfully concluded! 🎓 Though some revisions were challenging, we ended with these smiles 😊✨. As a subcommittee member, I reviewed nine theses from other labs, gaining broader insights into mechanical engineering. Learning is the reward, and I’m grateful for this opportunity! 📚✨ #MasterThesisPresentation #ResearchLab #LearningIsReward
Writing and reviewing can really drain your focus, right? That’s why I include some strategies to recharge. A 10km run helps reset my mind, followed by some playtime with my son at the park 🏐✨.
Exercise clears my head and gives me the energy to push forward again. It’s these moments that help me get through each day 😊.
Had lunch at LATERRE, which has a dog park. It’s conveniently close to the university, and the atmosphere of being surrounded by dogs is so inspiring. The food is authentic and delightful, both visually and in taste.
Over the past year, I’ve been dealing with a few downside risks, but they’ve eased over the past week. Spending time in such a relaxing space with dogs makes me feel that sense of relief and puts me in a great mood.
Final exams are done, and we had 10 presentations in the lab. A busy Thursday, but surprisingly fulfilling and not tiring. The freedom to set exam questions and research directions myself is what makes this job so rewarding.
