Take an entrance exam. for graduate school

It' rainy in the morning. Upon waking up ,I went for a morning jog as usual for 15 minutes in a changable shower.
Today I' m going to take an oral exam. at Hokkaido Unniversity.
I've already sent an aplication for admission and had its ticket at hand.
I've had half an hour interview with three interviewers.

'' Why did you decide to take an exam.?''
'' Your company will support you since we only have the daytime courses ? ''
'' What are you going to do after graduate ?''
'' What are you reading now ?''
'' Have you already got well ?''
'' What do think of studying with your juniors here ? ''

I guess I could answer those questions without difficulty.
What impression did they have for me ?
The result will be published next Friday.
I'm going to have a gloomy week since then.
Wish me luck everyone !

''A history of Japanese literature ''by Katoh'

I attended a course of lecture on '' a history of Japanese literature'' by Prof. Youichi Komori at Tokyo University.
It was a fresh summery morining. Most of the audience was the aged ,more than sixties.
When Prof.Komori has entered the class ,an emcee has introduced him to us ,then he started speaking.
It was in my high school days when I encountered his essay ''A warp of the roof in the wooden buildings in China ''.
