List of my travel diary My train photoes The other contents

My English teacher asked me an unbelievable question

I: I intend to enter graduate school.
She: You are required only a formal exam, doesn't it?
I: No, a couple of students fail their entrance examination every year.
She: Oh, I knew it's difficult than I thought. How many times did you come to the university this year?
I: Of course, every weekday.
She: How diligent you are!
I: Not at all. It is regarded as a standard student in my laboratory. Students belong to the other laboratories in my department are spending severer lives. Though my professor tells us to stay in the university from 10.am to 6.pm, most of professors searching organic chemistry tell their students to stay in the university from 9.am to 9.pm.
She: How severe students in science groups' lives are!


Japanese university's departments are categorized into two groups, science group and literature group.
It is likely to be easier to graduate from the literature group than to graduate from the science group.


Judging from her statement "How many times did you come to the university this year?", literature group comes to school so rarely as to be able to count the number of their attendances of university.


It must be as if we were in dream to enter literature group in the university.
