I will explain the meaning of english proverbs and sayings about time for Homework 4.
1. Time is money.
Japanese has the same saying. It means that time is as important as money. Now, I know it is!!! Because I have only about a month left until I turns in my thesis... Time goes by so fast:( Time is money!!!
2.A stitch in time saves nine.
Accorning to a website, it says that you use this proverb to say that it is better to spend a little time to deal with problems or act right now than wait. I like this proverb because it makes me notice that problems are never solved if I do not do anything and just wait.
3.There's no time like the present.
It means that there is a chance to do something right now. I think it advise us that if we are afraid, we will miss a great chance.
4. Fashionable late.
I could not find definition of this proverb. So, I guess........... Hmm..... I have no idea about this saying.

HW 3
1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I think I tend to do so unconsciously. So, when I first meet someone and see what they wear, I probably guess even their personality. For example, honestly, if a girl wear like Gal, I get a little nervous and worried whether I can be good friend with her. It's because I don't wear clothes like they do, and my friends do not really wear like them either. The difference makes me nervous, I think. But, I know people wearing like that are nice. Hmm...It's kinda difficult to show my opinions. Have you felt the same way?
2 Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
I think so too because, to be homest, when I first saw Muslim covering their face except their eyes, I used to get nervous. I was just surrounded with terrible news like terrorism or war regarded to Muslim, but after I met a woman who believes Islam and had a lecture in our class last semester, I totally changed the wrong perception.
3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?
I did not really care about my clothes today, so they do not refledt my mood. But, when I feel happy, I wear pink, light green, or something light. When I have a presentation or speech, I want to look smart, so I choose black or white. Haha.
For discussion of friends
1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?
I do not really think up because I talk about various things with my friends, for example, about family, future dreams, Japanese stupid politician ( except Susan's husband, of course!! ), economics, part-time jobs, and whatever. BUT!!! The topic depends on who I'm talking to. Some people are not interested in politics.
2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places? Give me some examples.
Yes, I do. I talked about just girls stuff with some friends. Off course, I like them and always enjoy hanging out with them. I also have friends who I talk about serious things with, such as the future. They always make me consider things more seriously and give me some advice.
When I think of one of my high school friends, I notice that the contexts that we talked about have been changing since we were in high school. Both of us had many experiences after graduation from high school, so we have our own ideas for any topics. Sometimes our ideas are different, but we can respect them. When I talk to her seriously, she always give me advice. So do I. She and I trust and respect each other. Also, we are very interested in having new experiences, so we taraveled to NY and Las Vegas together. I think she is definately my best friend forever.
