It was fine.

I stayed at home all day long.

Today is taisetsu(大雪), one of 24 sekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms.Last one was shosetsu (小雪) on November22 and the next one is toji (冬至) on December 21.

Taisetsu literary means big snow.

There was the 6th PLTE graduation ceremony of the International Women's Peace Group. As a representative of Tokyo branch, I received the certificate. They say there are more than 150 graduates in Global 10 team but there were only two in Japan.

I prepared kimono for the next Friday. 

I started sorting the pictures of my 147th, 148th, and 149th ebooks.

I made reservations for the trip to Ise at the new year of the luner calendar next year.

It was fine and warm.  They say it will be warmer like summer tomorrow.

Cherry blossoms are so beautiful.

There was a graduation ceremony today.
We have graduation ceremonies twice in a year. Fall is the main, and spring is the smaller.
In Spring there are more Japanese students.So we prepared only nine flags this time.

These days there has been something wrong with my battery charger.  It's been about a year and a month since I changed the smart-phone but its battery does not last for even half day. It is very inconvenient. Are there any ways to save battery?

It was cloudy.

There was a graduation ceremony.

Graduating students wore gown, so did some faculty members.

Since there are many foreign students at our institute, there were many flags at the entrance.
I helped to clear them after the ceremony and found there were many flags which I could not recognize.

My work does not relate with students directly, but I felt I should take a chance to communicate them to know unknown countries.

It was fine.

This morning we prepared the distribution goods for the graduation ceremony which will be held the day after tomorrow.
There are many colleges and graduate schools at my working university. The day of graduation ceremony is different depending on the colleges and graduate schools.
It seems there was a gradation ceremony for the second stage college today. It is a course for a year for those who are over 50 years old.
Tomorrow there will be the graduation ceremony of some colleges and graduate schools.

I myself graduated from one of the biggest universities in Japan. Therefore our entrance ceremony and graduation ceremony were always held at the Budokan (武道館) in Tokyo.  They say the unversity and the Budokan have a few decades contract on the fixed date for those events to avoid overlapping of the reservations.
