A Heavy Snow


     We had a heavy snow last Monday. I was at my home town in Saitama that day and had to come back to my dorm. But the line I always use didn’t work for a heavy snow. So It took about 3 hours to come back to Sagamihara. I was so exhausted.

i'm happy because today is the last day of classes. but i also very nurvous because of today's presentation. i'm not good at speaking in front of people, so i really worry about my part. i'll do my best.....

by the way, tomorrow is the national center test. i often see some high school students study hard in the train. i wish them good luck. i cant believe that one year have already past since i took the examinations. last year was tough for me.
 i really felt how quickly time passes through this first year as a college student. i hope i wont wast time.

i was glad to be able to share time with all the members of this class. thank you:)

snowy day

we have experienced the first snow of the year on Monday. unfortunately, the day was also the Coming of Age Day. some of my friends celebrated the day. that day i went for a job afternoon, but according to coming night, customer didn't come into our shop. i experienced such a idle time for the first time.
by the way, one of my adult friend said that day was so severe. the long-sleeved kimono was got wet and she couldn't walk well. i saw one person who ware the kimono and the zouri on the snowy day. i was surprised at the person! i regret  the adult because they prepared for the very day one or two year before. i hope that the Coming of Age Day will be fine hereafter!!

ThAnKs

Today is the last Friday that our IE classmates are gathered. I'm sad a little. The remained thing is the Final Presentation. This is the last project that we can share. I hope all of us will succeed in the presentation. Finally, It's good to have belonged to this class and I'm glad to meet you guys. I'm happy to write on this blog now like this. Thank you all!! Thank you friends!:)) Thank you Dr. Armstrong!!!

Snow

4 days ago, it was snowing day. It was so harsh that the snow is piled up everywhere and still remaining. I heard that there was Totoro made by snow in front of the chapel at Sagamihara Campus. I like snow so much but snowing day is dangerous. Yesterday, I went to university by bicycle. I almost fell down many times because the ground froze. It was stupid of me to use bicycle to go there in spite of snow.

panini

I'm working at a Italian coffee shop as a part time job. then we treats some kinds of panini which is Italian hot sandwiches. today, the taste of panini was changed! sweet panini increased more than ever. they are tasty, but i like former one. we have sold one of panini which contains four kinds of cheese with honey since last Autumn. that was very nice and popular for employees, so I'm so sad that we cant eat that one any more. i have to recommend the new one as a new panini. and i have to try some tastes of pasta before they changes.

Colors

I wonder if I should bring my hair color back to black or change the color into some bright color because I don't have any part time job now. I want to do things that I can do only now. I want to change my hair to the color that is not so outstanding. I am reflecting on that recently...

oh...

oh my god... My part time job will discharge me. I was really surprised when I received the letter saying that I would be discharged. At first, I thought I may have done something bad to the cafe I am working. However, the reason was so simple. That was because the cafe will be closed. I started this job last summer and working at the cafe was so fun that I am so sad. My last work was 9 January so I can't work there any more... The cafe will be closed in 20 January so I have to search a new job!

exam.

I'm all set for the presentation and now i have to study for tomorrow's exam. I have a couple of exam tomorrow. One is for Academic Skills and one is for Introduction to Literature of England. I'm just gonna study for a hour because i have to wake up at 430 tomorrow. Living in countryside sucks..

today

today is the last day of IE3 core class. and presentation day!
our group's theme is cross culture and i practice script for presentation many times...
and i will do my best today and good luck everyone!

i love this class!

about today

today i did my report of American Literature, about Ernest Hemingway, and dealt with the script for tmrw's IE presentation. after that, i had my part time job for six hours. today i did my job quite well and so i thought i had enough time to prepare for closing the shop. but unfortunately the district leader came to our shop and started checking everything about our job, like our attitude toward customers, the appearance of the shop, condition of machines,... like everything! so we had to take some notes, do what we told by the leader,... of course they're to improve the shop's level and for our customer to feel comfortable, but it happened suddenly so we were a little upset. so i came back home about 23:30, although i gotta wake up at 5:30 tmrw!

but tmrw i will meet my friends at yokohama afterschool, and tmrw is the salary day!!!:)
happyyy

see u tmrw in the last class of IE3!!!

presentation


Tomorrow is presentation day.
I practiced many time, but I worry about it.
This is because I always become nervous when I stand in front of people...
However, I want to do my best!

Today is last core class.
Book report was very hard for me, but I liked this class!!!!


snowing day

last monday it was snowing till the afternoon. im living in Yokosuka, a coastal city, so usually we dont have much snow and even if we have a snowing day the snow is kind of watery one so we cant enjoy snowing time. but this year we had much more snow than usual year so i was happy seeing outside from the window.

but the day was a coming-of-age celebration day so people who wore kimono were feeling very uncomfortable, i think.
hope everyone including people in this class who went to the celebration could enjoy it.

another thing that happened because of the snowing was that we had to close the cafe earlier than usual. im working at a cafe and i should have worked for 7 hours on the day but we didnt have so much customers maybe because of the weather so we decided to close the shop. we were very sorry to the customer about it and i was very disappointed that my salary of next month will decrease.

anyway the day was special for me in terms of many things:)

spring vacation

Spring vacation, my plan is debate!!! We'll go to South Korea to debate with foreign people.
Many university students gather South Korea from many country for Asian Debate Institution.
We will stay for 11 days there. I am exciting about it because it is a great chance for me to understand the foreign people's way of thinking about the problems which occur in the world now.
I also want to know how foreigner thinks about Japan. I expect that I would criticized about Japan while we are debating, but I'll endure!!!!! I make up my mind to tell them a lot of good points about Japan. I want to get many knowledge and come back to Japan!
Of cource, I'll meet my old friends during spring vacation because long vacation is big chance to see friends!! I'll travel somewhere with my highschool friends. I hope that you enjoy your vacation:)!!

Hutte

Hutte means pension in German. Aoyama Gakuin University has "hutte" in Hakuba, Nagano. I belong to the committee, called "Shirouma-hyutte-operating-committee" which manages the pension. Students, OB and OG in Aoyama Gakuin University are able to come to there. Rates for an overnight with three meals are at around 2200 yen.
In winter and spring season, you can enjoy ski and snowboard as there is a skiing slope near the pension.  In summer season, you can see beautiful stars at night. If you have a luck, you could see shooting stars. Acutually, I saw many shooting stars at one night last year.
Sometimes I feel inconvenience, but I like there. Why don't you go to "Hutte"??

Rise Cafe

Yesterday, I ate lunch at Rise Cafe with my friends at the first time. Rise cafe is in front of Sagamihara campus.
I decided that I would eat food which I can eat only at Sagamihara before moving to Aoyama campus. Eating lunch at Rise cafe was my little dream, so I was so happy yesterday!!!
The cafe was so small, so inside of the cafe is always crowded. All linch menu is ¥500
! wonderful:) We eat Omuraisu and it was sooooooooooo delicious♡
I recomend you to go there for lunch while we are in Sagamihara!! 
Next, I want to eat pancake at gakusyoku:)♡

christmas present

yesterday, I've gotten christmas peresents from my mom.
I got a perfume and a coat. the perfume smells really good and the coat is so warm.
I also got some foods, mochi, soup, snacks and so on.
yay! thanks mom:)

snow

three days ago, it snowed so much in kanto.
I was surprised because it does not snow much in my hometown Oita.
I'm not used to it so it was really scary walking on the snow.
I slipped a lot. scary.
there is so much snow remaining on the road.
I wish it will melt soon.

tests and spring vacation

The term-end exams are coming soon. I have many things left to do for them. The professor of English History said that this exam will be much more difficult than the previous one, so a lot of study is needed. The test I'm worried about the most is an Aoyama Standard. It is about Islam. Everything in the lecture was new to me and so complicated. It is too difficult for me. Anyway, all I have to do is just preparing for it. It'll be hard.
After the exams, we have a long spring vacation. I'm really looking forward to it, but I haven't decided what to do. However, I have to work on my study for the tests right now.

the snow covered campus

It snowed heavily and some are still on the streets. It's so slippery and dangerous. I like snow and I am use to it. I was surprise that Tokyo has such a heavy snow like this time. Every time I see snow I'm a little excited, but I don't know why. I feel like skiing.
The campus covered with snow was a new look. It was really beautiful and gorgeous, wasn't it? I like it  very much!

spring break

5 more school days to go. I'm looking forward to the spring break.
I'm hoping to go travel somewhere like i usually do during a long break. I'm probably will not be able to go travel next year because job hunting season will start. So i should enjoy and visit places that i want to go during this break. Right now I'm planning to go to Nagano and Tohoku region to see some old castles.

I have to prepare for the presentation tomorrow but i feel so lazy now..maybe i will start in a hour or two.

spring vacation

On 9 and 10 February, I will see a female friend who is a half Japanese and a half Australian in Kyoto.
She and I met in Cairns, Australia because I went to there to study abroad. She originally lived in Kyoto, but she live in Cairns with her older brother, mother and aunt since she was 15 or so. She looked after me kindly. When I could not tell what I thought to OG, she helped me. I discord with her once, but that is also our dear memory.
Her father lives in Kyoto and teaches English in there now. She came back to Kyoto for about one week. This is first time for us to see each other since I came back to Japan. I'm now excited.

spring break

spring break is coming soon after final examsssss!
im happy not having school, but i dunno what to do in those long vacation,,, maybe ill get a job or sth??  i thought of going back to ehime for a while, but i decided not to cos there is nothing to do there, i admit. also, if i go back, my grandparents will make me eat tons of mikan everyday, and i dont want that. lol

btw, tmr is the last day of classes, and we will move to the aoyama campus from april.
im so happy about it cos then i dont have to spend much time just going to school. i live quite close to omotesando, so plz come visit me nxt year :)

i

totally forgot about this blog...
on tuesday, my group met up to finish some of our work for the presentation coming up tmr.
by the time i finish, it was almost 6pm, and me and erika saw the big totoro snowman right nxt to B-building, so i took a picture with it.

yesterday, i finally finished my IT thingy... it was quite complicated, but knowing how to use those softwares is a good thing, especially excel. i never knew anything about it before, but once i know how to use it, i realized that it is such an excellent software.


Happy info and anxiety...

A short time ago, I finished IT! I cannot do it tomorrow because I have parttime job. So I had to do it by today. I'm so happy!! Now, I study English Phonetics with my friends. English phonetics and structure are so difficult for me to understand. Tomorrow is IE presentation! I'm worry about my part. But I want to try to do understandable presentation.

Chris Brown


the title is one of my favorite singer. i like dance music very much both j-pop and abroad music. chris brown is popular american R&B singer, so i think some of you know him. his dance performance is amazing and sexyXD   his music always makes me feel good.

Turn Up The Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQWG8BVeryU
this music video is sooooooo cool!! i watch this video everyday. please watch it if you have a time:)

i also recommend w-inds. and daichi miura, because they do great performance. i would like you to know them at the same time.

Heavy Snow!!!


The day before yesterday was heavy snow day!!
I was very surprised by it because there was little heavy snow in my hometown.
I saw it for the first time in about ten years!
The road around my house froze yesterday and also today.
I sliped many time when I walked.
Everyone, please be careful not to slip!!

snow

we had a heavy snow the day before yesterday, and snow is still remained. in my hometown, we seldom have snow, so i am a little pleasure.
yesterday, i went to school for the preparation of presentation and make up class. after that, sakurako and i took a picture with totoro made by snow near the chapel. its shape looks just like totoro. i wonder who made it because it is high. in fact, i also made a very little snowman, but it was broken this morning...

last class....

We have no more than one class. The class in this week will be our last IE class, so i feel very sad.. I love our IE class. Book reports was very hard for me and I feel a little pleasure because I don't have to do that report any more. However, I feel sad because the number of chance to see people in my IE class will decrease dramatically. I want to have an IE party someday!!

Many people in my IE class helped me a lot, so my heart is full of gratitude for them. Thanks a lot, everyone!!  I don't decide my next home, but please visit me and play!

See you.

winter...

When I got up yesterday, my house was surrounded by many many many snow!!! It snowed heavily. I don't like winter season because winter season is very cooooool! Frankly speaking, I don't like cold(cool) climate... In fact, I love summer.

In this week, most of us don't have class, but I have some classes:Reading and English History classes. They make me feel very reluctant.In addition, I have to prepare for the presentation in IE core class. Actually I don't like presentation because I'm  not used to speak in front of large audience. After that, I also have a test in English Literature Introduction class. This test makes me reluctant too because I have to read a lot of books for it. I don't have time to do so.

I have a lot of things to do in this week, so I'll be very busy...

However, after many test in our university, we will have a long long long long spring vacation!! You are looking forward to that, aren't you??? Of course, I am because I will spend that long vacation with my friends not only in junior high school, but in high school. Some of my friends in junior high school will visit me and we will go to Yokohama to play. In addition, I will go to Hokkaido to see my friends in high school. I want to eat a lot of foods there, such as miso ramen, many fresh sea foods and shiroi koibito!!lol  I guess the most important event in this spring vacation will be to play football with my friends in junior high school!!

I can study harder thanks to those big events..

See you.

Totoro

This morning, my friend said on the Twitter that there was a Totoro near the chapel. As you know, Totoro is one of the famous character of Studio Ghibli.
Today, I came to school to prepare for presentation and attend the make up class. I saw a big snowman like Totoro near the chapel. I wonder who made that.
If you come to school today, I recommend you to watch Totoro.

Snow on the sidewalk was frozen. I walked carefully not to tumble. Stairs near Fuchinobe station was very slipping and dangerous. Take care!

snow...

I don't like snow because it's cold and it's trouble to go out.  I had to modify today's plan.
I think most of the child like snow but I haven't liked it since I was a child;  I lived in Yamanashi prefecture at that time and it snows more often than Tokyo.  I had to do yukikaki (removing snow) whenever it accumulates on the ground and this is the reason why I haven't like snow.
I hope all the snow disappears tomorrow.

The first snow

Today was first snow of the year. It started snowing about eleven a.m. here. It snowed heavily and my garden were all covered with snow. Though winter is very cold, I like winter the best because snow is beautiful.

In the evening, I walked my dog.Walking my dog was hard work for me. However, my dog, Hana enjoyed walking in the snow. She is Japanese Shiba dog and seven years old now. Since she likes snow too, she was running around the garden after came home.
l like snow but worrying whether trains run tommrow.



snow day

today is so cold and snow day. when i waked up , i looked the window it is snowing!
when i went to supermarket for buying food, the street was covered with a lot o snow and very dangerous, i concern about tomorrow part time job, for maybe by snowing the trains will be affected.
so i stayed at home all day...and i must study for a semester test.

presentation

our group make a presentation about media. today, we use some kinds of media, and get a lot of information. it's useful ,but at the same time, we should have a force to judge whether the information is right or not. it's not easy because there are many many information now. so, our group did a survey concerning about such a problem.
we wanted to finish the preparation for the presentation by last friday, but we couldn't. so we have to get together and finish it...

wednesday

on wednesday, i finished reading the textbook for study of education, one of my classes. in this class, i could learn the meaning and a role of education in the modern society, and acquire knowledge of it in order to be able to think multilaterally about the relationships between schooling and society. the teacher talked a lot about ijime and how and why it happens. these days, there are so many news about this problem, so i was very interested. overall, it was a nice class! worth taking it.

!!


since i don't have makeup classes, my six consecutive holidays begins tomorrow!!wow!how happy!!!! and i just have to go this sagamihara campus only 6 days! my 2 and a half hour commuting time will be over!!!! it was very tough year(of course even now). i want to do a lot of things something new that i can't do because of my commuting time such as part time job. i'm really looking forward to spending my new school life.

Aoyama Campus

When April comes, we go to Aoyama campus. The station near from the campus is Omotesando station. There are a lot of fashionable shops, cafe and restaurants. I would like to find such shops! So I'm looking forward to going to Aoyama campus. Unfortunately, I have to do tests and get degree as many as possible. Ohhh, I also have to finish IT...

29th

I went to gay bar with my friends at shinjuku on 29th         last year.  There were very many people from foreign country. My friends and I got too drank. Because of that, I was talking with a French woman. I know that I can talk in English when I got too drunk. After drinking, my friends and I lost our mind and memory. When I got up the next day in my house, my friends were sleeping next to me. Alcohol is like a drug. Anyway, I have to say one thing. I'm not a gay.

tests...


yseterday, i had a chinese test. i was going to prepare for it during the winter vacation, but i couldn't because my will was weak. as a result of that, i had to study hard until late at night. my teacher of chinese class said he made a difficult test because many of us got a high grade last semester. in fact, the test was too difficult. i regret i should have studied harder... i have some tests in january, so i have to study hard not to regret.

Happy New Year!


hello everyone! i'm sooooooo happy because my spanish examinations have finished yesterday!!!!!
i really don't want to study hard but i'll do my best  for rest of my tests.

anyway, did you enjoy your winter vacation?
I had a regular concert of my orchestra club on December 27 and it became pretty good! i'm very very glad that Ikumi and Sakurako came to this concert. thank you very much XD
and i'm really upset since i got fat because of my lazy life :'( 
i'll have to do something to lose my weight...
lose weight
this is my goal of this 2013.

A present from my father

 Surpringly my father bought me a television for the Christmas present. I was really surprised and pleased with it. The size is 22 inches so I put it in my room and enjoy watching it. Thanks, Father!

Happy new year!

 Happy new year! Every year, I spend the last day of the year and New Year's Day at my grandmother's house in Saitama. The place where it is in is very rural and so, especially I have notihing to do. However, the atmosphere is so calm and relaxing that I can spend days with composure, and I could this year as well. I wish this year will be an excellent one for everyone.

5 days!

recently i feel that the time passes so early and only 5 days were left for me to go to the Sagamihara campus! im happy to go to the Aoyama campus earlier than now, but i regret that i dont have a chance to go there. actually, id like to study at the Aoyama campus, but i think the sagamihara campus also have some advantages. as everyone feel, the vast ground, beautiful nature and clean classes. im happy that i could study such a wonderful campus. i worry whether we can spend good time with too many students in the Aoyama campus...

These are the small part of the things I want to do in this year. I know doing all of them is difficult, but I hope I can do as many as possible. I wish this year will be great for everyone and for me.

winter vacation

A happy new year!!!!! How did you spend your winter vacation? Was it good? I spent a really good time in my hometown. I was happy to see my family being in good health. I also enjoyed meeting and chatting with my friends staying up all night. I was surprised that almost all of my friends have driver's license. I want to and have to get it! Staying in my parents' home is really really comfortable.

Tuesday

Tuesday, I had dinner with Ikumi, Erika and Sakurako in Machida. We went to a restaurant we can eat bread as much as we like. I ate lots of it and a hamburger with cheese. All I ate we're delicious!! Of course, talk with them was so fun. "jyoshi-kai" is so great!!

 I really enjoyed. I want to talk and have dinner with all IE3 members. Although we leave only a few IE class, I want to enjoy time with you!!!

happy new year!


I stayed shrine in New Years's Eve and new year because I worked as maiden in the sevice of a shrine. Maiden was so hard for everyone. We had to work in the midnight. Many people visited the shrine forthe ringing.
This work was so difficult but I had a lot of experiences.
And I got 3oooo yen !!:-)

New Year 2013

A happy new year!!!  What was your first dream in the New Year? My first dream was that I went together an old boy I don't want to if it is possible. Not good dream... But I don't care!! Im enjoying everyday now!!

During one week of the winter vacation, I stayed in hakuba, Nagano. There are snow around the pension I stayed and it was soooooo cold. I skied once and I enjoyed it. My senior taught me how to ski. I had not ski before it, so he taught me abc of it. At first, I couldn't walk on snow with tool but finally I could walk. And then, I skied. Its speed was fast!! It was comfortable!! It was fun!! I want to do it again!! I will go to there again in spring vacation, so I will do many times!!!!

Also, I made gelatin cheesecake. Member of a committee said it was good. I was happy. I will made cream puffs. I know it is difficult, so I practice in my home before I go.

happy new year


Did you spend nice holidays? I enjoyed winter vacation.
I was in my hometown almost all the vacation. I had a really good time to see my family and some of my friends. I was a little surprised that one of my friends from junior high school looked more mature than before.
During the winter vacation, I ate too much and gained weight as some of you said. I’ll eat many vegetables, and lose my weight! Is anybody on a diet? Let’s work together…

I’m very busy in January because I have some tests and reports to do. At the same time, I have to prepare for moving and studying abroad for a month in February. All of you are probably busy now. Let’s do our best :)

Very sleepy now

Today, I got up at 4:40. When class start at 9:00, I usually got up at 5:00. However, today I woke up little early. Outside was very dark like midnight. Now I counted how many times do I have to get up at 5:00. Three times left including test term! At first, getting up at5:00 is impossible, but I managed continued. I want to sleep more...

2 period was German class and had final exam. It was not so difficult than I had expected. I'll prepare for report of American literature. I had to write 10 sheets of paper. So busy... it's hard work.

See you soon:)

part time job will start

I decided to start part time job this year! I will work at the cafe Tully's in the local station after the semester exams. Working at the cafe is one of my little dreams because I like to rest at cafe drinking coffee. First, I felt like working at the cram school as a teacher, but I changed the idea because of my cousin's unexpected word.
She said, " Communicating with adult is good lesson for you than communicating with children because when you would become a working member of society, the people around you is all adult"
 I understood her words, and I thought cafe is good place to work for me because I can learn a lot of things from waiting on customers. If you are working at cafe, please give me advice!

winter vacation

i went to California with my family during the winter vacation.
 i left japan on december 24th and came back on january 8th.
during vacation, i played golf 3 times with my family
im the only one who is not good at playing golf, but i had little fun to play.
on christmas day, all stores are closed, so we did nothing and stayed at the hotel.
i also went disneyland.
other than that, my mom and i went shopping.
i had really fun:)

Happy new year!

Happy new year! How did you spend your winter vacation?
I relaxed at my home so spent vacation lazy. My relatives came to my home and watched Hakone Ekiden together.
Maybe I ate too much during winter vacation. Last year, I went to year end party with part time job's member and ate delicious Italian food. In new year, I went New year sale to Kashiwa with my mother, and went restaurant.  So, I need to lose my weight.

I went Suwa shrine for first visit. The fortune I drew predicted kichi. I hope this year will be better than last year.


winter vacation


I went to go my hometown in winter vacation.
In Christmas, I did Christmas party with my friend.
It was very interesting!
In New Year, I went to a mall with my friends of my high school.
We went to there by a car which my friend drive, but his driving was very dangerous!!!
We went Italian restaurant, and enjoy shopping.
I had very good time!

Happy New Year !!

How did you spend end of the year and New year's day? Did you enjoy?
Unfortunately, my winter vacation was soooooooooo terrible:( because I had a heavy cold so long period. I couldn't go out because of a fever and sore throat, so I canceled all plan with my friends.
I was so shocked but I had no way to change the situation.  Can you imagine what happened to my body when the vacatiuon had finished? I gained weight!!!!!!!!!!!! I repeated eating and sleeping without exercising like a cow during the vacation, so it is natural.
but I dicided to be positive this year, so I never feel sad about my vacation. I had a lot of exciting plan after finishing the exams because I postponed them during vacation. I am very happy. and I can lose weight the maximum because I got weight now. Positive thinking is wonderful!!!!!!!

Christmas Eve with my family


We usually order a whole Christmas cake. It’s an event for us to choose which cake we have from some catalogues. This year, we chose a chocolate cake. It was served by Hotel Okura, so cost a little higher than usual. It was so delicious and all of us thought it was the best choice in recent year.

Spanish

I'm going to have a Spanish test tomorrow.  A form of verb changes depending on the subject and I'm memorizing the patter of form changes but there are so many irregular conjugations;-(  I can't sleep until put into my mind completely.  It's tough. So tough.

Happy New Year!


A Happy New Year!!!
How did you spend New Year's Day?
I spent it with my family.
I ate a lot of rice cake and osechi, so I gained weight....
Therefore, I decide to diet this year!
My weight was gained, but I had a good time in New Year's Day because I was able to talk a lot with my family.

New Year:)

Happy new year everyone!
classes have started this week, so i have many things to do and prepare for some tests. very busy... at the same time, ballet lessons in my ballet studio have started this week! and i went to the lesson today for the first time in this year. it was fun that i could talk with many friends and dance, but i made up my mind...i have to lose weight!
during this winter vacation, i went to a ballet open class in order not to gain weight and to be comfortable. i intended to go open classes three or four times in the vacation, but i couldn't do that and actually i went there only once:( i have two reasons why i went there only one time. firstly, i had to go to a part time job, so i couldn't have a lesson which is proper for me physically. moreover, some proper lessons are conducted only in the morning. for me, the studio was located too far and i couldn't get up early because i worked hard until closing the night before.
now i regret that i didn't go to some open classes in the vacation. my will that i want to dance better than last year doesn't change. therefore ill try to lose weight for the next stage! if i get thin, i should dance better than now! the next stage will be on April. it will be fun!

this year's aspirations

Hello, everyone!
I'll write this year's aspirations below.

1, get up early!!
 I often overslept because it is reluctant for me to get up in the morning. I guess that I overslept frequently because of my bad habit. That is to watch some videos on You tube at late at night. Since I came to  know the pleasure of this useful website, I'm so addicted with that. Tough I really understand the badness of my habit, I can't stop to do that. I guess getting up early means stopping my bad habit, so I'll try my best.

2, increase the number of dishes I cook!!
 Now I  live alone and cook breakfast and dinner frequently. This is because I believe buying food at a convenience store or eating food at fast food shop mean that I can't take enough nutrition from those food and also it isn't good for our health to eat food at fast food shop. I sometimes cook the same dish again, so I want to increase the number of dishes I cook! Fortunately, one of my relatives like cooking and had many many many cooking books, so she gave me some of them in the winter vacation. I was very happy!

3, get better grade than before!!
 Unfortunately, we will have various examinations in classes two weeks later. That would make us feel depressed because it's very hard for us to study a lot for the exams. I want high grade(GPA) than before, so I'll be very busy. During the term of exams, I sleep only 2 or 3 hours and study a lot as I did so in the last term.

4, improve my English skills!!
 I must improve my English skills because I'm not good at speaking and listening English. During the term of exam, I'll be very busy,so I don't have free time. However, in the spring vacation, I'll have plenty of time to do various things for improving my English skills, such as watching foreign movies, talking with my neighbor(a Canadian) in my home town and read a lot of books written in English.

These are my aspirations in this year. Although it'll be very hard for me to achieve all my aspirations, I'll try my best!! Before that, I have to study for the exam in Chinese class. I'll have that two days later...  I'm so depressed... I also have to prepare for the presentation in IE Core class... Oh my gooood..

A Happy New Year!!!!!

A happy new year!! How's your winter vacation??
I spent a short but good winter vacation with my friends and family!

I came back to my hometown Gunma, Maebashi at December 30. I was very surprised that my family member changed dramatically. My mother became interested in Sugichan, a famous comedian and imitated him like "Okaeridazee!" My sister was wearing heavy make up. In fact, she had two boyfriends in the past, but now I don't know how many boyfriends she has. My father had an accident and broke his born in shoulder. Although he didn't know that his born was broken, I took him to the hospital and made him see a doctor, then he came to know the truth.

At December 31, my best friend and I went shopping. We bought a photo book of Mirei Kiritani, the most beautiful model in Japan. We enjoyed watching that in Starbucks, drinking chocolate brownie mocha. It was very delicious. Actually, I had never been to there until October!!! lol

On January 3, I had a very busy day. I played football with my friends in junior high school all the day. I haven't seen them for a long time, so I was very looking forward to that day. It was very interesting!!! After we played football, we went to Frying Garden, the hamburg shop and ate a lot!! Then, I went to Round 1 to see my friends in high school. Although we didn't play there, we went to a tavern and talked a lot. Although some of them did drunk driving, I didn't do that. After that, we went to our friends' house to sleep, but I couldn't sleep at all because it was very cool in that room. The temperature in Gunma is very low at early morning and night. In addition, the wind in Gunma is very strong and cold. That strong wind makes us feel cooler. Some of my friends who went to Hokkaido from Gunma said that Gunma is cooler than Hokkaido because of that wind.

When I came back to Sagamihara, my father gave me a wallet that my grandmother gave him. It is very nice and cool, so I like it!!

The winter vacation was very interesting for me. I'm looking forward to the spring vacation!

See you.

iPad mini

Hello. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am so happy to reporting this!
In the winter vacation, I bought a tablet: brand new iPad mini!
Though I bought it a few weeks ago, I still love when I'm touching it!

There are many good things of it:
- LTE, LTE, LTE. How fast! Can be connected even in Sagamihara Campus!
- Big screen size. Much easier to make report/take notes.
- Combination with Mac. If you're using a Mac, it is a must thing for you!

I'm still so excited...

winter break

from 29th last month, i was visiting my cousin living in Ashiya. I really love city in kansai, so i was very happy. i usually dont eat much when i live by myself, but my aunt makes such a good food, so i was eating so much and i became a pig.  i had a great time there, and from 2nd of january, i took a ride to toyohashi where erikainnami lives. i was so excited to see her and her family. they are very friendly and nice to me. they took me to strawberry picking. when i first ate strawberry long ago, it was very sour and hard, and it was not my favourite fruit, but the strawberries in the field i went this time were so sweet and simply good tasting, so i love strawberries now. after that, we went to fish centre at yaizu city and ate sushi. i was craving for it since september. next day, i went to nagoya and sakae with erika for shopping. there were so many people there, but being in a busy city is not too bad.

I had such a great winter break. but now i have to lose weight.
