My precious friends

I have some awesome friends who are exchange students of our university, but they will go back their country soon. We talked, hang out, studied together. They became my treasure while we were having good time. I’m sure I will miss them a lot.
Also, when the exchange students of last year went back, I was crying. I’m still thinking of them and the memories that we made together. I still miss them so sometimes I contact with them. I know that to be good terms with exchange students is very fun and nice. However, I can’t see them after they went back. It’s so hard for me. I’m afraid that to be good friends with them, but I can’t stop having good time with them.
My friends will go back on February. One is leaving in two weeks. I can’t believe that. I have a few days to spend with them so I’m trying to go the dorm everyday. Of course I can’t though. I can’t realize they are not in Japan in a month or so. I want to cherish the time we can share our wonderful time together. Tomorrow, the farewell party will be held. I’m going to go there, but I don’t want to cry, because I want them to remember a lot of smiles of mine! I love them!!

Tests of mine

I have 10 tests in the semester. Now, I had finished seven tests and have three more tests. Biology, cultural anthropology and culture understand. I can’t see any materials on the tests, so I have to study hard. I think I can’t get many credits. However I need many because I don’t know how many credit I can get in Liverpool Johnmoose University. I’m scared very much. Ok, I am going to study from now on.

Happy♪

Now, I am so happy! I didn’t know I can go to UK on August or not. If the summer school in Liverpool, I can go, but I didn’t know about it. One day, an email was sent to me from Yazawa-san who is working Kokusai Kouryuu center. She said we can go to the summer school on August. I was relieved to hear that. I can go there six months or so. I have to look for somewhere I can stay in the UK. I have seven or six months until I go there. I cant help to go!

I got new one!

Finally, I bought a new dictionary. I didn't want to buy new one because it is too expensive, but also it was inconvenient when I don't have dictionary. I didn't want to do my homework. I went to many electric shops and was looking for cheap and good one. Then, I bought my new dictionary. I will not lost my dictionary again, for sure. I learned that I should cherish all my things.

Childhood friends

Today, my childhood friends and I got together to have dinner and get drink together. There were some people that I met since our graduation of the junior high school. It’s been four years or so. First, I was nervous, but I could relax soon. Everyone looked change, but their heart didn’t change at all. We talked a lot like when we were children. We talked about our love and teachers and something like that during a primary school and junior high school. It was so fun!
After dinner, we went bowling and did two games. Sometimes I can do good work, but I couldn’t do it that day. I was the worst one. I want to be a good player! Then, we took ‘Purikura’ and went to Karaoke! We sung and danced together. We laughed a lot.
Finally, we went a shrine to pray our first visit of the year. The shrine’s name is ‘Kikuchi Jinjya’ which is in Kikuchi city.
I had good time with them and they said too. A coming-of-age-day is next Sunday so we can see each other soon. I’m looking forward it very much. I think I have to lose weights until the ceremony.

A happy new year!

A happy new year! I 'm wishing you all have wonderful year!
I go to shrine at midnight on New Year’s Day to pray with my friends. However, I didn’t go there this year because I worked that day too and was very tired. I just lied and was watching TV. It was kind of boring though.
The next day, I worked too. Many people came to our shop so we were very busy. After I worked, I went to my mother’s home town in Mashiki-machi. My family was already gone to see our grand parents so I went there by myself. I met my grand parents. They are good so I was pleased. Also I met some relations and they are all good. I like them very much. We talked a lot and had special dinner. It was delicious. Some people gave me ‘Otoshidama’ for me. Do you know that mean? It is a traditional of Japan. Adults give some money for children on New Year. The tradition is really good for children. I got it even I’m twenty-year-old. Yeah, I’m lucky! Thank you! ;ｐ
I had good time with my relations and family. I will go to the house of my grand parents soon to show them my face. They will be pleased!

Long time no write!

Recently, I am so lazy. During winter vacation, I was working almost everyday. After I came back from part time job, I just had dinner and watched TV, then went to bed. I didn’t clean my room up, cooked dinner, help my mother at all. I’m regretting it. I had to do that because I’m too busy to do those things during school days. It was good chance to help my mother. I’m so sorry.
Spring break is coming soon in a month, so I will do some house work for sure. I will study English too. The day when I go to UK is next summer and it is nine months after. I’m excited even now.

do my best!

Recently, I am studying hard and am taking a lecture for TOEIC. I didn't think my English is improving so I worried a lot. However, a few days ago, my TOEFL score was sent to me, and the score improved very much. I was pleased so I called my friend!! The score is not so good though my efforts became my treasure. I know I must study more harder so I will try to study hard for sure. The next test is waiting for me on January. I want to have high score next time!

I feel bad

Hello. How are you? I'm feeling so bad, because some bad things made me sad. One of the things is that I lost my electrical dictionary!! :'O I have to write essay without dictionary. It is hard for me. I think I lost my dictionary last Wednesday in writing class. I asked about it to people who work at 14th building, but they didn't know where my dictionary is. Also I asked to 学生課, but I couldn't find it. I hope I could find it tomorrow. A electronic dictionary is too expensive for me. However, I really need it, because I have to do many homework and am going to go UK. If someone found my dictionary, please let me know! x( PLEASE!!!!!!!

Big mistake

Oh my gash!! I made a big mistake!! I applied TOEIC test on January 11th but…The day is a ceremony of the coming-of-age day!! I totally forgot about that. I already paid 6651 yen for TOEIC test, and it won't refund to me at all. I waste money. I disappointed by myself. I always make mistakes. I can't believe me!! I noticed about that in the morning, then, I was unhappy all the day.
I'm considering I should take the test, or not. It is a big decision. There is one time for the coming-of-age day in my life, but also TOEIC test is important for me. I studied hard for it, that's why. Tell me good idea what I should do!!!!!! :'(

A birhtday party

Last Saturday was busy one. In the morning, I attended a meeting of my club. It was serious. I don't like it. After the meeting, I went to TOEIC lecture at the downtown. I usually study on Saturday on the class. I was excited during the class because a party was waiting for me!
One of my senior and I are good friend, and our birthday is very close. So we decide to have a birthday party together. The place's name was 'Tennis club'. I think it is funny. Don't you think so? J Many friends came to the party for us. We were pleased. There were about 10 Japanese and about 10 exchange students. Exchange students drunk a lot. One of them ordered 10 alcohols at once. It looked crazy!
We got a birthday cake, socks, snacks, tumbler, and a tree as birthday present! I really like them and I will cherish them! It was such a nice birthday party. I was glad many friends came to the party. Now, I am 20 years old. I have to have responsibility as an adult!!

My happy birthday!

December 4th…what day is the day? It's my birthday! It was Thursday, but I don't like Thursday because I have to take classes without friends of mine. I usually feel lonely. I took classes as usual that day. At lunch time, I met my friends and had lunch together. Suddenly, one of my friends brought a birthday cake for me! It was a present from everyone. I got other present too. I didn't realize that so was surprised. It made the boring Thursday happy! Thank you my sweet friends!
After the school, I met other friend of mine. He gave me a letter and a present. It was pretty, and I like it very much. We talked sometime. Then, my friend and I went to the dorm together. We went our friend's room, so some friends were waiting for us in the room. They gave big hugs so I was very happy. We talked and laughed together!
It was nice birthday for me. I hope I could be on good terms with my friends forever…

Country side little trip!

Today, my senior and my friend and I were hanging out together. When I hang out with my friends, I usually go to downtown or somewhere to have fun, but today, we went to country side. The scene was very beautiful so we enjoyed it. First, we went for a drive to Kikuka to visit my senior’s house. We met her grandmother and she gave us some delicious dessert. Those were so nice. Then, we went to Kamoto where is nearby my hometown, and had an ice cream. We look around all over the souvenir shop. Then, my senior sent me to my house in Kikuchi. I had good time today, too.
By the way, I will be 20 years old. I’m excited to be adult but a little nervous. I hope I will have good one!

A fun nabe party!

Some of my friends and I were invited to a nabe party from senior of us. They belonged to the same club with us and were so kind all the time. We got together at school, and went to one of the senior's house. She is living alone. After we arrived there, we prepared for dinner. It was curry nabe and the first time for me to have the type of nabe. I'm not good at cooking, but I tried as I could. We ate too many, I think. We were having fun to eat and talking. One senior said 'I forgot something in your car. Can I go to take it?' Of course I went to my car with her. After we got something and entered her room…it was too dark. Lights were turned off. I didn't know why. I thought I mistook her room for the other room. However it was not mistake. A birthday cake with two candles appeared in front of me. I was surprised so much, because I didn't realized such a nice thing. December 4th is my 20th birthday, so they prepared a surprise for me. I got a birthday cake and a message card from them. I was so happy. I really thank for them a lot. After we finished dinner, we had some snacks. I must get fat though I don't matter only today, because I was happy and had great time with them at the time.
I think I have to plan some surprise for their birthday… :D

Having fun with my best friends

In the morning, I noticed a big problem… It's Tuesday! Not Monday! Yesterday was holiday because it was Substitute holiday. So I misunderstood and noticed about it in the morning. I had to hurry up.
On Tuesday, I usually finished the classes 2nd period, but yesterday, I had a special class which is involved in getting job. We will be late starting to get job because of the study abroad, so we are preparing for getting job from now. We had presentations on 5th period. Each student gave information about the country where they are going. Of course I talked about England. My presentation was terrible though. Other students did good work so I wanted to go each country like Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
After the class, I got together with Yoshino, and went to Karaoke. Yuu, Ayaka, Miho and Koyoi were already in the room. It was so much fun. We sang a lot of songs and took some pictures. Koyoi bought a bangs wig so we played with the wig. We put it on our head and took pictures. Sorry, Koyoi. :p
I had to go back home soon, but we had good time each other, anyway! We are planning a trip to go somewhere with them and it will be so much fun. I can't want it! :D

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhh! I disappointed by myself because of my English skills. Today, my friend, Erynn, wanted to go to the post office to send a package to USA so she asked me to go with her. Of course I wanted to help her so I went there together. At the post office, I asked how to send the package to USA and how much is it but I couldn’t tell her the answers in English well. I just told her some words. It was regrettable that I couldn’t speak English well. I guess, I had spoken better than now when I came back from USA. I was unhappy because I wanted to help her very much! After that, I went to the dormitory with her. Also I met other friends of mine, but I couldn’t talk with them well and understand what they were talking. I thought, to practice every day is best. If I didn’t practice, my skills are gonna be poor. I’m scared and afraid that I won’t speak English. Well, I have to try to practice more and more. And I thank Erynn for giving me a prompt to notice such an important thing that I had to notice. JUST DO MY BEST!!

Takuma sai

I had a school festival on October 31th, November 1st and 2nd. I had to wake up at 5 o'clock those days and it was too hard for me.October 30th, the university was a holiday because everyone had to prepare for the school festival. We carried many things that we made for exhibition to a class room. We created a room and it was expressing each Japanese age, like Meiji, Syowa and Heisei. In the Meiji room, an old dress and jinrikisha were there. It reminds us Meiji age. Next room is Syowa. It was difficult to express the age because Syowa was long age but we could make it! Sadly, I can't explain on the writing. The last room is Heisei. There were many electrical appliances and it represents the time. For example, iPod, TV games, air conditioner and so on. We could relax the room. The quality of each room is very high.

The first day of the school festival, we sold more than 1000 Agepan ice creams that we had making. My friends and I went to some foods shops in the school festival. I liked warabi-moti from sado club very much. Also I liked Korean food that the exchange students made. I enjoyed eating!

The second day, November 1st, is very busy because it was Saturday and a concert was holding on that day. We were working hard and lots of agepan ice creams were sold either. On the day, a Halloween party was hold at the dormitory of the exchange students and I was going to go there though I couldn’t go because agepan ice creams were good seller so those were running short so we had to make some more. That’s why I couldn’t go such a fun party. This is one thing what I am regretting.

The third day was also busy! Our agepan ice creams were sold out because it was very delicious! xD After the school festival, an another festival was held. There were fireworks and slide show. We had a beer party. The most surprising thing is that we got three prizes! Yeah! We moved and excited very much because we didn’t realize like that. We cried a lot.

Anyway, Takuma-sai was all done! Sometimes it was so hard for us but I’m happy that we did awesome work. I thought my friends are very important and we are helping each other through the school festival. Thanks a lot, everyone!!!
