My Best Friends

Good evening everyone! How have you been? I am in my hometown, Miyazaki now. I really enjoy spending with my family and my friends. Today is the last day of 2008! So I am going to talk about recent occurrence.

On the morning of December 27th, I went back my hometown by highway bus. My mother picked me up. After that I had lunch with my family and went to a new shopping mall. It is the largest shopping mall in Miyakonojo.

On December 28th, I went out to eat lunch with my family. After that we went to 31 ice cream shop. We ordered ice creams one another. Then after getting back my house, I and my mother took a walk from my house to the second largest shopping center.

On December 30th, an alumnus of my junior high school and an alumna of my high school took place. In the daytime, an alumnae of my high school took place. It was an only girls' lunch. It has been a long time to see almost everyone, so I was very happy to see their face. Almost all of them has not changed but appearance a little bit. They have become very lovely. Since their characters did not change, so I was very happy and felt relieved. At that time, we enjoyed lunch and chatting with them. We chatted about recent occurrence, present life-style, friends, dreams, love and so on. Whenever I spend the time with them, I am always keeping smile, so my friends are very very funny!!! They are my best friends forever.
After that, the evening that day I went to an alumni of junior high school. I had some people who had not seen for a long time since my graduation of junior high school. Some people go to their university one after another now, and others work as a member of society now. I thought that I want to see in some years.

On December 31th, I spent a whole day with my family. That day is the last day of the year! Every year my family eat soba "年越しそば". My mother's handmade soba is very good! So some time I want to learn how to cook it and cook my soba.



Have the last day of the year!

Coming Summer Vacation Soon!!! but...

Heeey!!! How's it going??? I am tired of summer in Kumamoto. I am not familiar with summer in Kumamoto even now. I will experience summer time in Kumamoto twice this year. I like summer because there are a lot of events every year, but I don't like summer in Kumamoto. The reason why that it is humid, humid, humid, humid.....anyway Humid!!! It made me tired. I don't feel like doing anything. But I wanna jump into the river or ocean just now!!!*hah* How about you??? Do you like summer??? This summer I have no choice but to get over this summer.

Today I will talk about my recent life.
Last week, on Thursday and Friday, I took 4 exams. These are Listening, Reading, International Society and Japan, and English teaching course. However the tests have just started! So a lot of tests are left for me. I am worried about whether I can get over tests or not. Tomorrow I will take a test for Introduction to English Linguistics. It is very difficult for me to understand perfectly. The content is deeply, I guess. I have to continue its study.
In order not to suffer from summer heat, I will have summer vegetable regularly from now on.

Now...

I have many things or assignments which I have to do, so I'm very busy...busy...busy...
Now sometimes I don't know what I should put somethings before another things.
I am suffering really from what I should do now.
Recently, I am falling into a depression because of preparing for studying abroad or a lot of assignments and so on...

However, one of my friends say,
"When you are falling into a depression, you should say "THANK YOU" to anytime. The word "THANK YOU" has a very energetic power!! The word "THANK YOU" made us happy! Even if you are said by anyone, you feel very comfortable, don't you?"

This phrase encouraged to me. I appreciate to her for giving nice phrase. So I am going to say and say in my heart "THANK YOU" to anything.

Welcome Party !!!!!

On 16th, Wednesday, we had a welcome party at dormitory of overseas students. There was a lot of people there.The welcome party started at 7 pm.

First of all, overseas students introduced themselves. There were about 16 new overseas students there. I thought that there is a lot of Korean this year. The students from America are few this year. Almost all of them are students from Montana in America. There are no Canadian this year. I want to make friends with them!!!

And, after that, we had a dinner. The tables are prepared five. There were some kinds of food or dishes. I was very hungry that time, so I am very happy to eat. I lost myself in eating that time. However after eating, we walked around the table and talked with a lot of people. We could talk with people who do not know each other. Then, we took pictures with friends or overseas students each other.

I thought that students overseas are very good speaker in Japanese. To speak Japanese is easy for me because I am Japanese. However it is very difficult for students overseas to speak Japanese, so I respect students overseas. Japanese has three types of letter; Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. It is very hard!!!

We had communicated with students overseas till about 12 am. I had very good time. I enjoyed spending there. I want to go dormitory again!!!

Staaaaart-----------!!

On 8th, Tuesday, First classes started. There are four classes on Tuesday. First class started at 9 am. Therefore I had to get up early in the morning. It was about seven thirty. It was very hard for me to get up early in the morning, because I had not got up early in the morning during spring vacation. I am not good at getting up early in the morning.

On Wednesday, I had to get up early in the morning also. My teacher of writing class is full of energy and funny. He is new face for me. I am looking forward to taking this class.

I think that reading class is very useful for me, because we will study English-language paper this year. English-language paper has many words and phrase. I can acquire the knowledge of words and phrase.
Also, I thought speaking class is very useful. This year's speaking is conversation. We can really study communication in English. I am very interested in this class.

There are many classes this year!
