  • Got core theory!

    I met R to ask to explain the coupled oscillator model. He was really perfect when explaining this theory with his understandable examples. The person having enough knowledge tends to explain a beginner in an easy way. I suppose that Dr T did not have complete knowledge due to his music major. The excellent/smart person shows his/her limitation in regard to the knowledge if asked. Fr yuz, Dr Wal, and R, said "I did not know this but..." I learned this important thing from Fr Yuz. He really educated me well.

    By R's explanation, I was convinced about this theory and it underlies language rhythm. The two coupled oscillator can explain each unique speech rhythm such as English, French, and Japanese. Vowel and consonant are variables for the formulae. This is the theoretical framework for the training of illiteracy.

    I feel that God would plan me on applying for working with Dr Go. I started thinking of UC because Dr T disturbed my desires of research. I went to R because Dr T was not willing to explain me. I contacted R because Dog emailed me about accompaniment. First of all, if Dog had not sent the email, I would have hesitated to contact R. If I did not have his explanation, the theoretical framework would be established weekly or little in my proposal to UK, which will be the crucial fault in research.

    Nobody wrote "the theoretical framework" which showed profs did not ask because they did not realize the importance until my paper!!! Dr Eg who was M's advisor found no theoretical framework in a good thesis from a student and "it is not enough." I was really lucky to be with Ma's thesis. My thesis construction modeled the thesis of Ma.
    If I had not met her thesis, the possibility that I will be accepted would have absolutely 100%. Never happens.

    Everything is going well toward my research in music therapy. Actually, I will need to change my major from music therapy to education. However, it is better to work in Japan and another place. Clearly education is more trustworthy and applicable to children.

    Until next written/oral exams, I will collect support papers and create a fantastic, excellent, awesome, and beautiful proposal.

  • Speed writing!

    I took the written exams again. There were 10 questions from Dr T and 1 question from Dr D. As the comment from Dr T, I wrote 3 pages of the RSMM in cognitive domain part!!! My prediction bingos about Cognitive domain! However, other 9 questions were running of time so I could not finish after the seventh question. I created 4 pages for Dr T and 1.5 for Dr D. At least I wanted to write 2 pages for Dr D...Should I take again in the Fall? Oh my... However, I imporved writing before because of comleting 6 pages for 3 hours (last time, 5 pages for 4 houses). My goal at this time was to write 1 pages per 30 minutes so actually I achieved my purpose. But one question was addedd from Dr T although there was no attention to write answeres in B section, saying "minimam 1/2 page." I need to pass written/oral exams in order to graduate my university and get a master degree! I think it is enough to write 1 page answer per 30 minutes because of being an international student.

    Dr D seemed to want to recommend to take an oral exam in the Fall because I would like to go an internship from January, 2009. That was what i was thinking but the later graduation was not gool when finding a job for my future. I know that my English skills are not enough now so I am trying to improve it, especially in the part of written English!

    If I talked to Dr D about my dream that I apply for University of Cambridge, how he would show his responses? Surprising, being fed up, or laughing could be appearing? I do not know but I trust him treating me in a kind manner whatever he hear. Dr T is uncommunicative and one-sided so I completely gave up to build a relationship. He is great as a scholar but I do not need a mean person as my supervisor if he is a great inovator and having big power in the world. I will be gone to the UK. Anyway, Dr D continued showing his consideration recently, probably Y-san talked to him about my evaluation to him;-)He is the person understanding the human heart breaking. Perhaps, Dr T is the same but his position limites him in a big part;at least i believe it.

    For my interest from research of speech rhythm, I will receive explanation about the coupled oscillator model from Rick! I like and trust Rick! When asking Dr T about this model,- yes, I had already predicted though, he answered me that I did not have mathematical backgroud so it was impossible for you to understand them. I know but an advoisor should explain me the core idea of my paper, rhythmic entrainment? He could not explain it in an understanadble way because he is not speciallist in math and nuero! At least, i translated it;-)

    I am looking forward to seeing Rich since August 2007. Actually i passed by him on campus just a couple of days ago when I received an email from Doug. If I did not have the issue, I will answer Doug directly because he was one of my favorite person at St. J. But at this time, i should ask Rick about accompanyment although I expect his answer.

    Everything is heading for applying for UC. If I had got the internship position in NY, i could not prepare the application and proposal to UC. If I had good written skills in English and passed in March, I definitely would graduate in Summer, which means I have less benefit when staying here. Everything is going well if I could make an offer from UC!
