Hi! I'm Ranko. Nice to meet you.
I think I'd like to get along with new IE members!

I use this blog for the first time so I 'd like to introduce myself.
When I was high school, I belonged to tennis club.
I practiced very hard to take part in a tennis tournament every day.
Because the number of people who can join in the tournament was limited.
So, when I could take part in the tournament, I was very happy!

And my hobbies are to read book, listen to music, play the piano and so on.
Especially, I love music! I 'm very interested in taylar swift.

2nd time!!

Hi! This is the 2nd time to contribute this blog!!
Today, i had a club activity. i belong to ESS club, and enjoy discussion in English.
Now, we discuss criminal issue, especially death penalty.
it is very hard for me, but i really enjoy exchanging our values.
i love discussion, so i'm looking forward to discussing with you tomorrow at IE class!

Hi!

It's first time I write on this site. I am Mizuki Funayama. Let me introduce myself.
What hobbies do you guys have? Listening to music? Watching movies? There are so many things to have a good time. For me, it's listening to music, especially Rocks and Electronica, such artists as capsule, Meg, RADWIMPS, the band apart and Avril Lavigne. Music always makes me happy! So everyday I listen to music in my way home, and often take part in some events!! If you like music, why don't you go with me?:)

I was gonna write more, but it is time to go to my part-time job.
ANYWAYS, I'm looking forward to making friends with you guys! So please chat with me!

3rd post

I have an problem... I can't draw the assignment for writing class.I'm just staring at this blank paper for hours...
Probably this is because I'm a sort of person that wants to do something perfect if I'm to do something.
Maybe I should keep more loose.
But the thing is, I'm so loose already so if I become more loose bits of me might begin to fall off.
Hi! Well, I haven't slept much these past 3 days so I slept about 10hours

today, and now I'm working on the drawing assignment for writing class

but I'm having such a hard time!! I'm terrible at drawing and I don't really know

what to draw.



Anyways I'm thinking to cook dinner tonight because I have to get rid of my tomatoes.

I bought to many because they were on sale but I getting sick of it!!lol

I still can't figure out how much to buy for a meal for one person!



>koichiro

It makes me happy when I meet people that know kariya! Really?? Where in Machida?



>Akane

I'm kind of sick of the cafeteria too, because it's so crowded! I want to make lunch for myself but I'm not sure if I have time too...!!

hooo

Good afternoon everybody!
Today's weather is very fine! But unfortunately, I ran a fever last midnight due to recent exhaution. So, I'm so regrettable I can't go out today.
But I'm cheerful better now. I'm looking forward to meet everbody tomorrow.

>Nanako
Thank you for replying. I like sweets too. Let's talk about and make it together someday!

>Mari
I'm going to join two clubs and my friends also do so. So, I think it's good to join many clubs.

>Hikari
Thank you for replying. I'm not also so good at cooking. But I like very much. I want to see your scrambled eggs!

>Akane
I make it a rule to make my lunch everyday in the morning.
It's very cheap! So, I recommend it very much.
It was unbearably cold yesterday and the day before yesterday, but today is warmer than yesterday.So I am happy because I am sensitive to the cold . I hope that it gets warm as soon as possible.
By the way, do you like rainy days? I don't like because my hair is disheveled. I don't know why, but high humidity is harmful to my hair. So when it comes to rainy days, I am depressed by my disheveled hair. How about you?

Spring yet?

I just woke up and its already past noon! I couldn't get out of bed because it was so cold in my room. Oh, I rhymed just now.haha Anyway, have anyone noticed the hail on Friday?? I couldn't believe it! It's mid April and the temperature is still below 20degrees. I spoke to my friend in Canada last night and she told me that the temperature was definitely warmer than Japan...How could this be? I mean, Canada is supposed to be chillier, right?! My plan is for today is to work on my assignments and relax before my hectic week begins. I'm also planning to make lunch for myself and bring it to school because I got tired of the meals that they serve at the University cafeteria :p Is anyone else planning to make lunch like me??


>Mari
I was going to the freshmen welcome party on the 20th, but apparently there were way too many people on the list :( I'm going to try to squeeze into the one on the 7th. It should be worth it :)!

It's sunday again...

Hey everyone! Good afternoon.
So it's warmer than yesterday and the forecast says it's going to be much warmer than last week. Yay!!
Has anyone noticed that Sagamihara is a little bit colder than Tokyo?lol
I guess it's because it's closer to the sea.

Anyways I had so much fun in IE3 on Friday, because I had a chance to talk with lots of people!
But I was surprised of my lack of vocab, so I'll work on that during my years at AGU!

Hmm...What do you like to do on the weekends?



mari>> I'm thinking of joining two as well! ESS and the planning commitee of Saga Fes. People around me are planning to join two circles, so I think it's normal :)

nanako>> Your friend is lucky to have such a nice friend ;) Hope you guys have fun! I think I'll be working next week.lol

yasu>> The cake looks delicious! I like to cook, but I'm not so good at it. Oh, but I make the best scrambled eggs!lol


thanks for reading♪
see you guys tomorrow!

wow

Yesterday was so cold! I went to buy textbooks at Sagamihara campus this morning and I saw snow left on the sidewalk. It's so weird, snowing in April?! o.o

Last night I went to a welcome party for the club with my friend. It was very fun and I'm looking forward to joining this club! But when I told my friends that I'm going to join two clubs, they told me that they've never thought of joining two or more. I thought many people are joining more than one club since there are many interesting clubs in the campus! I don't know a lot of people in the school so I'm wondering how many clubs are you going to join?

>Akane
Thanks for replying:D I'm not yet the member of the club but I will go to a trial practice on next Tuesday. I have heard that there is a club which they become friends and hang out with foreigner students! That's also interesting!:D

and I'm taking Chinese!

>Nanako
How sweet! I hope you guys will have a wonderful birthday party! :D

Nice to Meet You!

Hello, everyone! I'm Nanako. I don't know whole members of this new IE class, so I hope we make friends with each other soon.

Two days ago, I had a party to welcome newcomers to our sports club. About 40 freshmen had come! I was so happy to meet them. They were so polite and cheerful, and they said us that they had a good time with us. The words make me so glad, so I'm looking forward them to joinning to us!

Then, I have another party next week. It's a birthday party! My important friend will be twenty at 21th April. We plan to say to her, 'Happy Birthday!' just at 12 o'clock! And then, we give a present and cake to her. I'm glad to be present in the time when she become twenty.
Isn't it nice?

What will you do next week?
See you on Tuesday!

> Chinami
I couldn't take the creative writing! I'm envy you sooo much! The risyu system is somehow troblesome. We have the same classes, so I count on you!

>hirokazu
It looks so delicious! I love sweets, so if only I'm good at cooking, I could make many delicious sweets!

Yummy.


Hi, everbody.

I'm happy it is sunny today and a little warmer than yesterday.

Anyway, Since I had more time today, I made a cheesecake for my family.

As you know, my hobby is cooking. But I have no confidence about the cake's shape.

I'm glad at least it tasted good.

Do you like cooking? If you like to cook, let's talk about food and recipe.
>Koichiro
I didn't understand it quickly. So, I'm convinced I'm not a smart person.
>Junko
I also think Tokyo's chinese noodle is very expensive.
But fortunately, I don't like noodles.So, I rarely buy and eat it.
>Saki
I like running and make it a rule to run in the morning.
But, I can't keep on running for more than 20min.
Please teach me how to run longer.

Too cold!

Yesterday, wasn't it too cold?? It was unbelievable!
Of course, I'm accustomed to coldness because I came from Sapparo.
But, I couldn't adapt to cold wether of yesterday.

By the way, I think you are busy to decide courses.
Aogaku risyu system is a little troublesome, I think.
Almost all of Aoyama Standard subjects are determined by lot.
I wanted to take "Kansei-Business", but I draw a losing number. Omg!!
If you could take the subject, you are lucky!!!!!!!
But I'm so happy because I could take "Creative Writing"!
I don't have acqaintances in this class, so if you could take it,too...
Please talk to me :-)

Then, I'd like to make a comment on your blog.
Saki (Uzuki)>> I like running, too!
But I'm good at a short-distance race such as 50m or 100m.
I'm not good at a long distance because I don' t have stamina.
I want to talk about running with you and please teach me a knack of running in a long distance.

Bye :->

Nice to meet you!!!!!!

Hi!!! My name is Saki Uzuki. Please call me "Saki" , "Uzuki" or " Ucha". 
My hobby is running! Since I was child, I like sports so I had played tennis, socceer and so on. However I specially think that track and field is cool :) I belong to a track and field club since I was 12 years old. My subject is 800 meters. This subject is so severe that I am always dead tired after every races. However I cannot help running :)! I love this subject and I want to keep on running after this. On the other hand, I am bad at playing ball games :(
Though our class have only a half year,I want to make friends with this IE3 members!

Good evening,everyone!

Hi! Nice to meet you!  I use this blog for the first time!
My name is Junko. I am from Fukuoka. When I went to Tokyo for the first time, I was surprised at the price of Chinese noodles soup. It is so expensive! The price of Chinese noodles soup in Tokyo is about 1000 yen. But, in Fukuoka , it is 500~700 yen! It is amazing!
My hobby is shopping, listening to music and collecting Rilakkuma goods! I live in Machida. Machida is good city.

I have not lived abroad ,so I can not speak English well. Thank you for helping me in yesterday's class!! I want to improve my English skill! See you, next class!

It's in April, but it's in winter.

This cold! It's high time we got used to the cheerful mood of this university and felt warm and relaxed. I mean there is no other luxury than sleeping comfortably in the snug classroom right in the middle of the lecture. But the low temperature interferes with my dozing and it forces me to stay fast awake. I just can't stand it but after all, I have only to make my usual sleep time longer at night and it might sweep away all the nightmares when I'm asleep in the class.

On my way back home from school, I just dropped in a bookstore and bought a novel which came out just yesterday, and its title is called 1Q84 (BOOK3) written by the famous Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. I've been a really big fan of him since I started reading his works about two years ago. I have already finished that of BOOK1&2, which is very impressive to me. I suppose he has the habit of writing something easy to read, but great stories and maybe that's why I love all of his efforts I have read.

If You Can Raed Tihs, You Msut Be Raelly Smrat



According to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are. The only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.

Amazing, huh?

Japanese Ver. http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1126990471


>hikari
Thanks for the advice:-)
I'll use New York Times next time!

>wako
I was surprised to hear that you are from Kariya high school.And hey, I live in Machida too.

Just can't balieve it is the spring.

Good evening.It was very cold compared with the usual weather and temperature that it should be in this season.I had never even imagined that it could be so cold here in this season.So far,how often and how many companions of circles have you visited? Were you told to DRINK?
Tody's IE calss seems to have been rather tough for me.I could not do my presentation clearly enough,which is what I should regret and also a mistake that I must not make next time when I do another presentation.
It takes me time to get used to this environment,and I have trouble sleeping.And during the class,I feel very sleepy.By the way,have you finished handing in the paper to register which IE seminar you will attend later??

Hi!!

Hi everyone! This is my first entry so I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Rika. My birthday is on May 14th, and my blood type is A.
I'm from Inagishi, Tokyo.
Right now I'm living in a domitry and I miss my home so much><
My hobby is to draw pictures, listen to music, go shopping, read mangas and magazines, and any other things that are fun but don't take up so much energy from me : )

Eventhough I spent my whole junior high school years in Dallas, TX, my grammar skill...actually my overall writing skill is very weak(I cannot write so good in Japanese either..lol)but I will try my best to improve this year!

Today was my first day in this class since I was absent last week. I felt like I have missed bunch of things... :<
Sorry Dr. Armstrong! I'm never gonna be absent again.

Since I only know few people in this school I still feel kinda lonely and scared but I was so happy that I got to know some people in this class today! I hope I can get to know everyone very soon XD

BTW Friday night..or Saturday morning is exiciting for me because I can watch my favorite anime!Yay

Anyways, have a nice weekend everyone!

Cold!

I don't believe this season is spring now. Recent temperature drops abruptly.
I remember last year, this season was very warm.
I don't like winter rather than summer. So, I'm very uncomfortable now.
Anyway, it has passed a week since we started class.
I felt time passed very fast. Is everybody accustomed to study in Aoyama Gakuin University?
I'm still a little nervous when I attend class. But I really enjoy in this school and I can talk a lot of friends and people.
So, I'll try to do what I haven't experienced before from now on.


> hikari
I don't decide which clubs I will join.
But I like to talk and speak English , so I want to join what I can communicate with a lot of people in English.

Finally Friday!!

Yay!Finally it's Friday! Times flies so fast, but it also seems kind of slow..wonder why. Anyways
I love the weekends because I can sleep till noon ;p
Unfortunately I have my part-time job, and I'm going to a shinkan (sorry, don't know how to say it in English) so I'll be a bit busy.

Have you decided to join any clubs or circles? Which?


>akane
Nice picture:) Didn't realize it was the chapel at AGU because it was so beautiful!
It looks so much different in the daytime, much better at night;)
I'm taking French! The pronunciation's really hard, but it's fun. Our class is going to France at the end of the year;) (Don't know if it's true, but that's what the teacher said)


>yurina
Really?! I don't really know so much about Japanese musicals (like Shiki, Toho) I know more about the ones on Broadway. But I'm really interested in the musical at shiki so please teach me;) By the way, my favorite musical is Legally Blonde! Do you know it?


>koichiro
the answer is no, but I have a reason :p If you can't find anything on CNN you should try the New York Times, they have interesting articles :)

TGIF!!

After today's classes, my busy week will be finally over!!! I have a lot of things going on this weekend though. I'm planning on catching up with my friends from a different faculty. I barely bump into them during school days so i'm looking forward for that. Also my bed is finally arriving on Saturday!I was getting so sick and tired of sleeping on my futon so I'm stoked to be able to feel comfortable :)

Thursday, April 15, 2010

The first week has almost passed.

I'm pretty surprised at how fast time goes by. Now I'm coming to grasp what it is like to be a university student. I feel so comfortable with my recent life that I have few troubles in my mind and can fall asleep earlier at night than I did when I was an examinee studying and preparing for entrance exams (though I still wake up a bit late in the morning).

I'm considering joining a music club since I like playing instruments such as guitars and bass guitars although my technique as a player is so poor that people listening to me will surely shut their ears trying to prevent themselves from going deaf. Anyway, as long as I love rock music and always think of it as one of the most influential thing to me, I believe I should go on playing.

KU

Fun!!

Yesterday, I bought glasses for the first time.
I was very happy because when I saw blackboard with bare eyes, it was blurred and I hardly understood words on it.


After it, I joined the freshman party of ESS club.
its programs and activities are very interesting.
The seniors were kind to me and spoke to me easily.
I enjoyed with many friends and talked to a lot of people.
It was very fun!!

OMG

I'm not done with my homework yet!!And it's due tomorrow right?I'm looking for an article about "relationship" in the CNN website, but I can't find a good one.
Have you finished yours??

So many things to do!

Hello everyone!

Hi, nice to meet everyone, I`m Hideyo.
I have lived in America and Canada for a few years, but I haven`t used English in a long time so I forgot most of it. I`m not sure if I can keep up with everyone, but I will try my best. I`m looking forward to having a great time in IE3. See you in class!

hi everybody!

My name’s Yurina, and this is my first entry to this IE3 blog! Maybe I’ll start with a short introduction of myself. I was born in Yokohama, then moved to New York when I was 11 months old due to my father’s transference, and then moved to Houston, Texas when I was 4 years old. When I was in 3rd grade of elementary school, I moved back to Yokohama, Kanagawa, and ever since then I’ve been living here. I don’t remember much about the days in New York, but I remember a lot about Houston. It’s a wonderful place! I love singing and dancing, watching movies and musicals. I also started cooking these days, and it's really fun!
Well, I think this is enough for now. I’m really looking forward to reading everybody’s blog and posting my one :)

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you guys on Friday’s IE3!!!


>Chinami…or maybe Chinatty lol
A Cappella Circle sounds great!! It’s always amazing when they do those singing…especially that voice percussion! Can you do that?! Please let me know when your club is doing some show or something! I’m really looking forward to hear your singing!

>Hikari
I love watching musicals too!! Awesome I found someone who has the same hobby!! ;) What kind of musicals do you watch? Gekidan Shiki? Toho? By the way, I like all kinds and I’m a bit a mania. lol

>Akane
Pretty picture! :) That chapel looks sooo romantic in the evening, doesn’t it? I can't wait until the party of that international club. It's got to be fun!!

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Great to meet you all :)



Hi everyone! I see a lot of people already posted their blog entry...I feel so left behind but I'm going to try my best to catch up! I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Akane. I was born in Japan but I moved to Kuwait when I was 3 because of my father's business. I've lived there until grade 9, then I decided to study in Canada. I experienced a Canadian university for a year in the faculty of engineering, however, I didn't enjoy what I was studying so I moved back to my home sweet home Japan to study English :) Anyways, today I went shopping for some new stationeries with my friend. It's funny how I get motivated when I'm surrounded by brand new things. Like a couple of hours ago, I was so pumped to start working on my Spanish homework with my new pink pen. Maybe I should buy myself something new every week :p I also took a picture of the chapel at the Fuchinobe campus! How pretty!! I'm finally getting use to the new environment and new friends :)

Which second language are you all taking at AGU??

>Mari
Badminton sounds interesting! Are you a member of the club? I still haven't decided which club I want to join, but I'm thinking something 'international'. Like hanging out with exchange students from all over the world :)

hi

Hello,
I had a day off today. I haven't signed up any classes on Wednesday. But I think I should take at least one class because I want to move the class from my another full scheduled day.. I'm worried if I had done choosing the classes correctly..
By the way, I didn't introduce myself in the first entry so here I am. I was born in Ehime prefecture and moved to the US when I was thirteen years old. I just came back to Japan an year ago. I like playing badminton. Is anyone interested in playing bagminton? or joining in aikoukai?:D

>Kosuke
For me, most of my classes are what I wanted but I have two blank periods in a row on Tuesday after the first period. I wish I could take the same lecture that is in the second period so that I don't need to spend 2-3 period learning nothing.
But since it's necessary to take, I can't move:( It's hard to schedule the classes if there are classes that are already chosen.. ;_;

Wednesdays

Has everyone pretty much finished planning their lessons?? (I think it was called "Rishu-touroku") It took me bloody long to check things up and I still don’t understand the system quite well to be honest. Anyway, I've managed to kind of finish filling out my weekly lessons. Somehow, I've got Wednesdays and Saturdays of!! Great.
But the thing is, there were lessons I was really interested and looking forward to taking, however in most cases I can’t take the lectures I wanted to attend because there are other classes I have got to attend (like German, IE3). Yes, of course IE3 and German is important as well, but it’s not really fair because I have no choice but to miss out the lectures I wanted to attend. Is everyone else experiencing such thing or was it pretty straight forward?
Kosuke

Hi!

Hi!
This is Wako. I came from Aichi.
I used to live in America for 5 years, but I came back to Japan
about 8 years ago, so my English is really weak.
I'm not sure if I can keep up with this class, but I hope I'll be able to make
great friends here.


Well today, I only had class in the first period so I came home really early like at 11.
Then my friends called me and told me that they were in Machida (where I live)
so we got together and had fun. Wednesdays are great!

I really miss my friends back in my hometown but I'm having a great time here!
The thing is that I need to find a job. That pays good!!
If any of you know a good place to work, please let me know!

Hellooo

Wow, hope I'm last! Anyways, hi to everyone in IE3, my name's Hikari. I'm kind of nervous because everyone is so smart in this class! Yikes!! Well, Like everyone else is doing, let me introduce myself a little...

I was born in Chiba, moved to Hawaii when I was two, then moved to LA, New York and back to Japan when I was twelve. I like to sing, dance, listen to music, watch musicals.

Hmm... well I guess that's about it.
We have to write on this blog at least two times, right?
I'll do my best!
I'm excited to meet new people and make friends, so please talk to me;)

Thanks for reading.
Bye:)

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,everyone.
This is the first blog, so let me introduce myself.

I'm Chinami. Please call me "Chinatty".
I'm from Sapporo. When I say "I'm from Sapporo.", some people are surprised.
Do you think the people from Sapporo are rare?
In fact, Sapporo is so different from Tokyo.
For example, It's snowing in Sapporo today!
It's amazing! Don't you think?
I'd like to know about your hometown.

Next, I want to talk about my hobby/ interest.
My hobby is listening to music and going to Karaoke.
Anyway, I like singing. So, recently I set up the A Cappella Circle.
Do you know A Cappella?
A Cappella is almost same as Hamonepu.
I think Hamonepu is famous.
If you are interested in this club, please join us!!
What else・・・!
I like to cook. I live by myself, so everyday I cook.
I'm good at baking breads, cooking Chinese foods and Japanese foods.
But I'm not so good at cooking Italian foods.
I'd like to cook Italian foods well, and challenge French foods!
If you can cook them, please tell me how to cook.

In the end...
I'd like to make many friends. Please talk to me!

Thank you for reading.
See you!

I'm from Shizuoka Prefecture and live in Shinyurigaoka.I belong to badminton circle. I like to play the violin and piano and listen to music.Especially, I like Back Street Boys very much.

I'm not good at keeping a diary but I'll do my best!!

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Hello!

Hello! everbody! my name is Hirokazu Yasumoto. Please call me "yasu".
This is my first time writing on this blog.
I like to keep diary or blog. So I enjoy it and do my best!!
I haven't been to abroad except Australia in school trip for 2 weeks.
So, I'm concerned about my ability to speak English.
If I can't understand or ask of someone, please be kind and help me!
Anyway, I introduce myself.
I live in Kawasaki and there are 6 people in my family.
I like cooking very much!
Sometimes, I make a meal for my family and friends.
I make it a rule to make my lunch for saving money and also exercise in the morning everyday in order not to be a fat man.
My dream is to be a translater and contribute to international society.
I want to have many friends and talk with a lot of people!
So, please speak to me easily anytime!

2nd post

Argh! I'm not in my full condition this week.
At the end of last week I slept like a corpse at 8:00. Then when I woke up I found a canker sore in my mouth when I was brushing my teeth and my breakfast was grapefruit!
Then I went shopping to the local shopping mall with my father and found out that it was on top of an rather steep hill and I got muscular pains afterwards.
I think I would take a rest tommorow...this week is such an ordeal.

Hello!

First of all,I had rather much trouble finishing making my account because everytime I punched a new passward when making my own account,I could not be accepeted.
Anyway,I am Naoki Uchiumi,from class E,and I came from Fukushima Prefecture,Kitakata City.As might be the case for those who came to this university from such rural places as mine,it is difficult to make new friends and also to adjust to the new surroundings.I am worrying about whether I really can make new friends,afraid that I might be rejected when speaking to others.Also,I have never been abroad in my life with almost everyone around me in IEⅢ class having ever been there.So I am wondering whether I can catch up with them.
Today's good news for me is that I probably made a new friend though he is in another department in the same university.
My hobby is studying English,anything that is of some connexion with English.As for my dream,the nearest dream most likely to get is to become a good father!
And,lastly,when I speak to you,whether you are male or female,then,please respond,not ignoring me.

for the first time

Hi, I am one of the new students this year and happy to join this IE 3 class although I've heard the level of this class is considered really high. Actually I'm afraid I may have no friends here to help me with work and enjoy discussions together because usually I'm a man of few words(so quiet and alone). So if you ever see me in trouble, please just call my name and I'll be glad to perform full of my poor(?) English ability with everyone in the class. A bit of talk can make me hundreds of friends. (I'm not sure.)

By the way...I haven't even started this week's assignment!!!!

Hello!

Hello,everyone!This is the first time to join this blog,so I would like to talk about me.
I came from Fukushima prefecture.There aren't so many places to play with friends,but people are kind and I feel comfortable in my home town.
My hobby is watching movies.I'm planning to go to see "Alice Im Wonderland".
I also like listening to music.I'm a big fan of Avril Lavigne.Talke to me if you like her,too.

Any way,I'll do my best in IEⅢclasss.

hi

Hi, everyone. I'm Mari from IE3 class and this is my first entry. It's great to see you all in IE3 class!
Yesterday, I had got to see a family who just moved to my apartment from the prefecture I used to live. They are my dad's co-worker's family and there is one year old baby boy with pretty smile all the time! He was even cute when he was sleeping :) It removed my nervous feelings for everything in university. And it also motivates me to try hard on every assignment that I'm going to have.. I hope I do fine with media presentation... x.x

Hi

Hi , everyone in IE3. I'm Koichiro from Aichi prefecture.
I'm bit anxious if I can keep up with this high level class , but I'll try to do my best.

By the way , I've decided to join the American-football team.It's called the Lightning.I used to play soccer until high school but the reason why I decided to join this team is because I wanted to try a new sport.
What are you going to do?:-)

Job...

Good Evening, and Nice to meet you everyone in IE3,Dr.Armstrong's class!(^^)ヽ

 Since starting from IE3, I have some worries about doing reports, discussions,presentations,,and so on. But, like I said, I'll do my best, and I want to make friends with you guys, so lets make it a good class.^^
Well... now I've entered university, I have to make money by myself, and I'm looking for an good job. To all of you guys who have experienced working, what kind of job do you recommend for the first time??? and.. Dr.Armstrong, what kind of job did you do in your school days??(^▽^)

Hello everybody

Hello everybody in IE3, my name is Kosuke Doi, very nice to see you. What a nice weather it was today! I hope its going to be like this for a while. It was so cold yesterday it seemed like its going back to winter!! This is my first time writing on this blog, I don't yet feel quite comfortable(writing on this blog, going to uni), but I'm hoping to enjoy the IE3 class, and my uni-life at Aoyamagakuin daigaku. I enjoyed Dr Armstrong's first lesson, and when he said "oshieru koto wa manabu koto" I guess his words kind of moved me. I'd like to work hard, get good grades, and also make good friends, and enjoy the IE3 class:)
Thanks, Kosuke Doi

1st time

It's the first time I'm using a blog and possibly eight or ten years since I've written a diary, and I lost interest in it after an week! Could I possibly write for over an year?... I think the possibilities are slim very...very slim!

By the way I've finished my weekly homework but I'm not sure I have done it correctly because It's also the first time I've done a report. Can anyone help me out perhaps?
