My favorite sports list

Basket ball
I like to play basket ball because I was a member of basket ball club when I was junior high school students. My team was weak but we practiced hard. We liked to play basket ball with the team mates! We couldn't win any games…X( but I don't care. Playing with my friends is good for me. I was really enjoyed playing basket ball. I like to play basket ball now, either. I also like to watch the game of basket ball.

Badminton
When I go to the elementary school, I was belonging to the badminton club. I really liked to play badminton. Many people can play the game so it is fun! When I wan in Minnesota, I played badminton with car pool members. It became good memory for me.

Valley ball
My mother and my father were belonging to a local valley ball team. I went to the gym to see their practices and games. So, valley ball became my favorite sport. In the class, I played valley ball and I could play well so I liked the sport more.

Soccer
I wasn't interested in soccer at all before but my boy friend loves soccer. He was member of soccer team and always watching soccer games. He effected to me. Then I like watching soccer games. However I don’t play soccer now. Actually, I was also member of soccer team when I was child. I had forgotten!

Japanese drums
Some people say it is not sports because it is a musical instrument. However, it is a kind of sport, I think! To play the Japanese drums is so hard, that's why. It is a musical instrument but also a sports. I want to tell about it everyone. It seems easy though, it is really hard actually. I played the Japanese drums when I was high school students so I was so busy and tired but I loved it. My friends liked to watch them either and they said 'You guys are so cool!!' I was glad to hear like that. We showed the performance to many people even foreigners and they enjoyed watching the performance so much. It made us so happy that's why I like Japanese drums!

Writting lecture

We were taught how to write a paper in overseas by Mr. tomei. I was kind of nervous because I think everyone could write well more than me. So I tried to write about many things as I can. However, my friend thought same things as me. He was also nervous and worried. We cheered up each other. It made me comfortable. I appreciate him so much!
I thought today that this writing class is so good practice for us because we could learn how to use the computers and the way to write notes. I have to keep on try to writing diaries and reviews and so on. I decided some things to have good time during study abroad!!

Welcome party!

Today, the welcome party was held for the new exchange students at the dormitory. It would be started at 7 o’clock but my friends and I went to there around 6 o’ clock or so. I could see that they were cooking each countries food. The smells made me so hungry!
After the party started, all exchange students introduced themselves in Japanese. Their Japanese was really good! I was surprised and I remembered last year’s welcome party. The exchange students’ Japanese was also good and I was surprised either. Then a teacher told wishes for exchange students and gave some gifts. Finally, I could have dinner! Every meal which they cooked was very delicious. I hope I could cook well…

After the dinner we danced together and played fun games and talked a lot! They came to Japan this month, but I don’t feel so. I feel that they have been here some months! They all are very cool and funny, that’s why.
I had so much fun but I had to go back home. I’m sure that I will visit again soon! :)

I had a chance to study TOEIC at the school in downtown. The teacher has 970 points of TOEIC. His class is easy to understand. It was so nice time to study. After that, I went to my boy friend; Keigo’s house. I gave some American souvenirs for him. Also he had been to NZ this summer so he gave some gifts for me. For example, there were cookies, Korean seaweeds and a doll. Thank you so much Keigo!!
And then, Yoshino called me and said, ‘you can be come my house. Now, Spencer who is an exchange student is at my house so it’ll be so much fun if you come and visit us.
We decided to go Yoshino’s house in Aso. We had some Okonomiyaki and sushi in Yoshino’s house. Those were so delicious!! Thank you for the dinner, Yoshino’s mom! Of course Yoshino is so nice, and also her family is so nice! I love them!

We talked about many things what happened during summer vacation.After the school, the members of English weekend told about the camp for freshmen in their class. They were so quiet. It made us nervous. I hope many students will come to the camp. It will be so much fun!!And then, I went back my home town and worked five hours. During the time, my friends waited for me at downtown. After I finished my work, I went to downtown and met them.We went to Cowboy freedom and just have fun. But they remained me exchange students from last year. I'm missing them so much because we had great time with them and they were so nice. But actually, I'm sure that new exchange students are very nice either. I will miss them in a year. I really like to meet new people, but sometimes it's sad.
