Everyone in ACF is very kind so don't hesitate to
participate in ACF‼ If you have any questions,
please ask me.
great time :)
I went to Shibuya today(yesterday) for an event of dance club. I had a great time there and was impressed by great dancers. All the members of the club were so cheerful that they kept screaming during performance. Of course, I couldn't stop applauding them. After the show, I had a dinner with friends I met there.
Though I'm a beginner of dancing, I want to dance like they do!
Good night.

We can know the place by e-mail, so if you want to know the place, please ask me :) I'll tell you. After you go there, you should tell them your e-mail address. We have a camp on May 3rd and 4th. It'll be fun!

tired !
Hello !
Today, I didn't have any classes, so I went to Shibuya with my friend!
We went shopping, but we just talked and talked and talked!!
It was really fun, but I got reaaaally tired and sleepy the moment I came home.
I have to get up early tommorow because it takes me about 2 hours to get to school from my house.
Good night !!
iPhone application
Just found out that there's an application for blogger on app store. Go download it~! :')
Disney
I tried to write a blog from my cellphone but I couldn't... Although I'm using Disney smartphone, I can't use it efficiently! By the way, I love Disney very much(^ ^) Is there anybody likes Disney??
ESS
Good evening.
Though I was not good at English,I am interested in English(especially,etymology and dictionaries themselves).For example,I was surprised to know the word assume came from to take in Latin.For this reason,could you tell us concrete date(What the club do,and when it meets).Let`s enjoy English!

Hello!!
Hello! I'm Haruna Tjima. Please call me Haruna. I'm from Hokkaido so I don't know about Tokyo. Please let me know the nice place to visit!!
Thanks for commenting on my blogpost, 光安!
First of all, why kanji? I just thought that since we're both Japanese, it'd feel like we're closer if I write your name in kanji than in romaji (what's the English translation of romaji?), and I actually don't know the correct kanji characters used in your name, but I think that it'll be something for us to have a little laugh at, whether I'm wrong or correct. Second of all, you don't have to call me Mr. Aizu. Masaya is okay.
I'm glad that you have positive feelings for Aomori. If you go there, I recommend that you eat scallops(hotate). I have to say, they are really good! I especially like sliced raw scallops. These are the several places where you can enjoy scallop meals.

My hometown is famous for apple. I plan to go back home in this summer break. So, you know what, I might be able to give you, as a little present, the latest model of iPhone that isn't in stores then. No, I'm joking( notice that apple isn't in the plural form). Sorry it's too samui. Actually, I have an bottle of apple juice from my hometown that I haven't opened yet. If you want, I can give you that. The other thing about Aomori that I can come up with is that, there's the cherry blossom festival that I talked about in the former post in spring, Nebuta festivals in summer, you can enjoy climbing up Shirakami-Sanchi in fall, you can enjoy snow in winter if you've rarely seen it. What I'm trying to say is, I guess you can go there pretty much anytime. Anyway, if you go there, I hope that you have a great time.
Yes, I'm happy to have lunch with you! Or, I have only one class on Fridays, so I'm thinking of going to the library and see some books Dr. Armstrong recommended. Why not go together if you have free time then?
To people in the class, lately, I've been wondering what is the use of learning things in the past like history, archaeology or philology, or what can we do with things we learn from the past? I guess we can say that we can learn lessons from the past in order not to make the same mistakes again, or that history is the gold mine of the great wisdom of the great people who ever lived. But it doesn't really get me excited to study things in the past because those ideas are like old cliches. Right now, I'm more interested in discovering things that haven't been discovered preferably in scientific terms. Do you guys have any thoughts or opinions as to what is the use of studying disciplines like history and archaeology or what to do with the knowledge of them? If you do, please make a blogpost (apparently, you have to make a blogpost to make a comment on a blogpost.) and let me know. On that note, I'm gonna go buy some food for dinner. See you soon.
Cliff
I was confused like Cliff is right now so I mailed Dr.Armstrong for answers.
There are no comment icons or reply icons.
When you want to reply to someones question,
you post a blog with a title like "Answer to Corys' question" or you could just post a blog and have the answer written in it somewhere(like I'm doing right now).

Answer for Maria
I'm sorry for being late. Thank you for replying, Maria.
I couldn't understand what to hand out and to do in lecture on Friday.
The teacher's explanation didn't make sense to me. It sure was difficult.

We had a demanding lesson and Dr Armstorong(not Anderson) gave us a challenging assignment.We had a intensive debate,but I was not the person enough to incentivize others.
I want to write papers in MLA style as soon as possible.(the style is a must.)
Mr. Aizu,I looked through your log(I can`t find out better cliches.).As far as my knowledge goes,Tsugaru has abundant food. My acquaintance,who came from Hirosaki gave our family many kind of fruits and fish and sea plant,and all of them were very good.Especially,I like sea plant.Also,I know people lived there are warm hearted-persons.I want to travel travel there.By the way,I wanted to eat lunch with you,but we couldn't`. So let`s eat lunch together,and talk next time.
I hope to choose a book in order to weite book reports(Iwas about to put book review out this blog),but Doraqula seems interesting,and you will know the reason if you are in this class.
If you happen to know the better cliches,please tell me.

Actually, I just read it all. I also met Cliff(*^^*)He's finding books now.lol
I was lucky I brought an umbrella with me(o^^o)
Bye bye♡
Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival
Now, I've finished writing an evaluation for IE Core 3 class tomorrow. I had a week to do that and started it the night before it's due; I even found the article at around 8 PM today. I have a really really storng tendency to do that kind of thing. Well, I guess I should start using the time schedule table Dr. Anderson gave to the class.
Today, I'd like to tell you about Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival in Aomori Prefecture because I'm from there and have been to the festival several times and think it is a wonderful festival. It is held in May, around Golden Week Holidays (since it's colder in Aomori, it takes about a month longer for the cherry blossoms to bloom than in Tokyo) and takes place in Hirosaki Castle Park, and thousands of people come every year. I guess some people in Aogaku have come to the festival. It is famous all over Japan. In the past two or three years, I've seen Chinese people in the festival. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms basically everywhere in the park.
Last year, I went to see the nightly view of the cherry blossoms (yozakura) with one of my friends. It was amazing! Just imagine that surrounding you are cherry trees beautifully lit up, some of which are big, old ones with drooping branches covered with the white pink, so long that they can almost reach out to the top of your head while you are walking down the path. As you go on encountering the gates, turrets and so on, you finally see Hirosaki Castle built on the stone wall on the other side of the beautifully red-colored wooden bridge charmed by old history. There is nothing bright except them; it is all dark. Being there, I felt as if, in the historical context, all modern things had been absorbed by the darkness, leaving only the cherry trees and the castle, and I was living in the Edo era.The cherry blossoms reflected on the surface of the sterams around the park are also very beautiful.
Oh, it's already 1 AM. I guess I gotta go to bed. I have a class in the first period today, but talking about something in my hometown makes me wanna call my friends. So I'll either go to bed, or call my friends and stay up all night doing something. I also want to say that I really like writing in English because I've spent approximately three hours making this blogpost. I hope to enhance my writing skills at Aogaku and maybe become a journalist or editor. I'm thinking of going to graduate school, though. I guess I'm gonna call my friends in my hometown. I'll see you guys at class if I don't oversleep. Bye.

really Nice day!!
Today, I attended the communication class after the IE class, so I entered the classroom almost on time.
Almost all seats backward were already seated and I had no choice but to seat forward.
Then I did not know how terrible this choice would be!!
After some minutes, teacher suddenly gave his microphone to a student sitting near me and asked a question. In this moment I realized I would be asked some questions. I was thinking ゛What should I do, What should I do, What should I do!?゛ I was in great confusion because I didn't know what should I do!lol
Unsurprisingly, I got a microphone from MITSUYASU seated nearby!!!!!
Oh my god!!!
I forgot something important!!
Hi,everybody!I'm MASA. When I posted before, I forgot something important; it's my introdution.
I was born in Niigata ,but moved into Davao in Mindanao Islands , the philippines when I'm only one-year-old baby.After two years later from my first move, my family spent 6 years living in Ottawa in Canada.And then , when I was nine , I returned back from Ottawa to Kashiwazaki city in Niigata.
It's my introduction but if you have any question about me , don't hesitate to ask the question .
Finally, I came across a cockroach at my kitchin yesterday. I hate it !!
Good night!

My weekend
My weekends have disappeared for some reason.
I was to clean my room on Saturday since I still have several boxes left with stuff in it.
Then this club orientation thingy avoided me from cleaning my room.
Then on Sunday I had this important promise to meet my friends from high school.
Will there be any chance to clean up my room or not......
Oh, this doesn't mean my room is messy, it's just full of boxesXD

My Best Friend Leaves Japan For America
I'm finally back home...I'm super duper tired, but i had a great day.
Today was a tough day for me and i feel like this will continue this whole week... :(
I left my house this morning at 8:00 to go to school as usual.
I had 4 classes in a row... I realised, college is actually really busy!!
I headed to Toyoda station to see my best friend who's leaving Japan for Misourri, America, though I was able to see her only for an hour. ;(
But I decided to see her again tomorrow morning, before school starts!!
After I left Toyoda I next headed to Tachikawa to meet my other best friend.
She failed her college entrance examinations and is studying to take them again.
But we used to study together all the time.
We talked for 2 hours and left, and here I am now!
I really enjoyed talking with them :)
I will really miss my friend who's leaving.
The next time I'll see her will be January, 2013.
Do you have any friends who's studying abroad?
Are you planning to study abroad during college?
I'm not sure, but I want to. I want to go to England.
Thank you for reading! :D

Today, I went to Tower Record in Machida after school in order to buy my new fav band The Novembers' 2nd Album.
When it comes to The Novembers, I was invited my fav brand of clothes' A/W collection at Yoyogi Taiikukan on 5th, April.
The band was playing their songs while models walked around.
I found the movie taken by DOMMUNE on youtube.

Hello :)
Hello, this is Saori Enomoto, and it is my first time posting on to this blog.
I'm from Tokyo, and I used to live in a place which is close to Tokyo Disney Land, but unfortunately, my whole family moved to a new house so I cannot see the amusement ground anymore, but I can see "sky tree" from my new house which is good.
My hobbies are drawing pictures, swimming, and cooking, but recently I don't do these things, so I'm not sure whether these are my hobbies or not. lol
Well, it's nice to see everyone in IE class, and I'm hoping to make friends in this class, so please feel free to talk with me :)
