I was exhausted today.
I’ve worked in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment since Oct. 19th. The company is very very famous so that I’ve heard that many Canadian in Toronto want to work there. To get a job in the company is difficult not only for international students but also for Canadian. That’s why I’m sometimes told that my resume becomes great and I get a great experience. Yes, I am a lucky lady. I feel proud of myself.
Three weeks past already. I get used to working there and listening to my co-workers conversation. I always do my best and try to finish my task quickly and correctly because I want to expand my field.
I had a purpose in this week. That was “communication”. I thought I need to communicate with my co-worker more. I am good at knowing what they think and what characteristic they have. But they don’t know about me well as I am quiet. I’m ordinary quiet While I work. Because I want to focus on my duties and small talk is not necessary so much. Above all I feel I can’t express my feeling in English.
It is not good between Sandra and me. I didn’t find reports of checks I needed attached with the checks so that I asked her whether she had them. Firstly she told me a little bit strongly that she gave me them so she didn’t have. But after a few second, she started grubbing up her garbage box and then she put a report I was looking for on my desk. She trough it away!! Dispite the reports are very important, she had it garbage!! I was very surprised. Until I asked to her about it, I checked all checks and invoices 3 times. I was worried I lost the reports. After I received one on missing reports, I tried to find again among checks and invoices. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it. I asked to her again. I’d like her to double check. But she said that “I gave you. I don’t have it. It’s OK.” I felt disappointed. I felt she tried to make the fault be made by me….
Sorry, I don’t want to tell about it any more. I feel uncomfortable and sad. It might be my fault. It means that my feeling was wrong, the way of thinking wan not good. Today was a bad day. I need to be refreshed.

It has been a long time since I kept a diary here. I post a blog in Japanese every day to another website; Ameblo. But I haven’t kept it here in English. That’s why I feel my English skill is still as same level as when I started this. LOL!
My life changes a lot. I start to work in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment from last week. I am second student to do internship in the company. Today was the first day that I worked full-time because ex-student, Kanae, had worked there until last Friday. So our jobs overlapped last week. I felt confused about the situation. We didn’t hear about it happened. So that I couldn’t work full-time and learn from the worker. But I tried to do my best. When I finished my work, I asked them to give me other jobs I can help them. You know, no matter how hard I worked, Kanae was able to work appropriately and she didn’t give them any stress. She’s already built a good relationship with them and they felt satisfied with her job. The things I work there prevented her from practical working opportunities. I needed to concern about her, I was compared to her by the workers… Yeah, it was a typical Japanese style I hate.
I don’t like to be compared to others. While I lived with my host family, I felt the comparing with ex-student. I was second student to stay at the house. The situation is repeated. It happens repeatedly. Something tells me to learn something from the situation? “You need to become not to compare yourself to ex-person” something like that? Is it a training in my life? I need to accomplish this situation? I escaped from the last situation as I moved in this house. I recognize I escape from the situation just now!!! I shouldn’t repeat. I try to put this feeling aside.
Well, I keep doing my best!

Long time no write!!
I went to Japanese Social Service to volunteer. Today was the first day not only of my volunteer but also of work in Canada. The work was easy for me. I affixed seal to envelopes, answered the phones in Japanese and taped 2 peaces of paper (receipt). I worked there for 3 hours because I took a class until 1 p.m. I continue to work there every Monday as long as I can.
