Library

I am going to introduce the library to you. It opens from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and has 4 floors. There are many PCs at the first floor and many books and group learning rooms from the second floor to the top floor. You can drink and eat there. There is a food coat called Just Us! It opens at 8:00 a.m. and I hear that many people stand in the line every morning. Muffins and coffee are very popular because they are so cheap and good. When you look for some books you need, you should go to the information and ask clerks because there are too many books so you can't find them without their help. When I go to SMU, I want to make best use of this library.

On November 16, I went to ROUND1with Megumu, Mira, Ai, Chonchon-san, Yusen, Clark, Ayano-chan, Chiho-chan, Mami-chan, Jonah, Jordan and Ian. It was the first visit there for me. It was awsome!!! I enjoyed playing basketball, voleyball, roller skating and so on. I enjoyed myself so much.

On November 20, I drove to Tokai-daini high school with my parents to see my sister playing basketball.

On November 23, I had a nabe-party at TKB-sensei's house after the job with Shiba-sensei, Minawa-sensei, Matsumoto-sensei, sato-sensei and Ken-chan. I ate, ate and ate! It was so delicious. I took many photos and laughed a lot. I like being with them so much. I want to have a party again soon.

I worked a part time yesterday. My job is teaching students at the cram school. It is really fun. After that, I drove Riko-chan and Shiba-sensei to my house and talked about many things, seeing my albums.

My favorite high school memory

I am going to talk about my favorite high school memory. I have many good memories of high school. I went to Yatsuhsiro high school. My most favorite memory is that we got the first prize at the basketball tournament. Yatsushiro high school is an academic school so we had to study very hard. It was natural that we had preparation. After school, we practiced playing basketball for a few hours. Our school’s sport festival is famous for Yatsushiro because of performances. All of the teammates wanted to be cheerleaders but we were not allowed to do so. Our coach said, “Sport festival is just event but a basketball isn’t one. If you want to be cheerleaders, quit basketball club.” So we chose basketball. I will never forget the feeling when we got the first prize.

My favorite movie

I am going to talk about my favorite movie. I like movies so much, especially Disney. Beauty and the beast is one of my most favorite movies. I have been to the musical in Fukuoka when I was a primary school student. It was awesome! There are many princesses in Disney and I like Bell the best! Bell is a princess and fell in love with prince but he is a beast. I don’t know how many times I have watched the movie. I like not only the story but also the music. The music makes me feel happy. ‘Something there’ is the best one. When the song is playing, Bell is getting to like him. I love this scene so much. I have never watched the movie in English so if I have a chance, I want to do so.

My favorite drink

I am going to talk about my favorite drink. I think if almost all of the people are asked “What is your favorite drink?” they answered some alcohol. However my most favorite drink is WATER!!! When some of my friends ask me the question, I always answer it, and they laugh a lot. I have never drunk. So I don’t know whether I like drinking or not. Probably after I turn over 20 years old, I think I will not drink. Water matches every meal. Even in Winter, I drink it. I can’t drink pop either. So everyone tells me that I can’t drink anything without water. But I like juice, and when I go to the party like that, I drink juice instead water. But water is the best drink, I’m sure.

My favorite vacation memory

I am going to talk about my vacation memory. I went to Narisa’s cottage this summer. It is located in Takamori, Aso. It was the first time to go to cottage. It is very beautiful and cute! I went there with Narisa, Yuki, Yukiko, Yui, Megumu and Kanako. It was so awesome. We had BBQ, enjoyed dancing and singing and did fireworks. After that, we went to hot spring near the cottage. It made us relax. We watched 3 DVDs at night. At first, we watched ‘DRAG TO THE HELL’ and screamed a lot!!! It was so scary. Kanako and I could not help hiding our face with pillows. I think we will never watch it. I was so happy to make a great memory with my lovely friends. I want to go there again!

My favorite dessert

I am going to talk about my favorite dessert. I like sweets so much. However full I feel, I still have room for dessert! I think every girl has it! My most favorite dessert is chocolate. Boys can receive chocolate for Valentine’s Day. I wish I were a boy on the day every year! I am happy when I am eating chocolate. I hear that when you feel tired, if you eat chocolate, it makes your brain activate so whenever I eat chocolate before taking the TOEFL. Every time I hope that chocolate will give me high score. When I was a high school student, some of my friends gave me chocolate when I am sleepy. Probably I can’t live without chocolate.

My favorite travel

I like traveling so much. If I have a chance to travel, I always go somewhere with my friends. Sometimes I travel by train and sometimes by car. I live in Yatsushiro now but I had lived in Minamata for 8 years so there are many of my friends there. Whenever I go there, I always take a train because I can see the beautiful sea. I like watching the view from the window. When I am free, I use a mobile phone. However, when I go to Minamata, I forget to use it because of the beautiful view. When I travel by car, I enjoy talking with my friends and listening to music. The time just flies by. If I can, I want to go to Korea by ship next time.

Nevember 11 Yakiniku!!!!

I went to Teikoku-yakiniku with Eri, Megumu, Purin, Hyerin and Juhee after school. It was the first time for me to go there. We ate, ate and ate!!! we enjoyed talking about many things so much! Every time I talk with exchange students, I think not only it is fun but also I can learn many things from them. I think it so cute that Korean and Chinese people speak Japanese! We took many photos with oranges! Why do you think we did such a thing? Because we like tagging someone on facebook. After having dinner, I went to Megumu's house with Hyerin and Juhee, and uploaded that day's photos on facebook. It was soooo funny!!! We said goodbye to Juhee and Purin and started tagging! haha Chonchon-san changed his profile photo and we couldn't help laughing! I stay at Megumu's house at least one a week. Megumu, thank you so much :)
