January 23

It was a good day! I tried to get up at 6:30 as usual in the morning but I couln't. I finally got up at 10:00 and went to KGU by train. I wanted to stay at home but I didn't think I could concentrate on my studying for the tests there. When I got to KGU, I got together with Megumu at the library. We started to study for International Society and Japan. It is said that the test is the most difficult for students of the English department to get a credit. I totally agree with it. Ikedy and Echan came there and we studied together. I really wanted to study there but the library was closed at 5:00 p.m. so we left there. After that, I went to the dorm and studied with Haruna-san and Mira. It was so boring to study it but we had to. Yusen and Mira bought us oyakodon from hottomotto and had dinner together at the dorm. Eri, Ikedy and Megumu came there and they gave me birthday presents! Ikesy gave me a cute watch and of course I like it! I am wearing it now :) Megumu gave me a letter and it made me moved. Thank you so much! I had to say goodbye to Eri, Megumu and Ikedy because they went to Joyful. After that, I started to not study but talk with Gen, Clark and Jordan. haha Every time I talk to them, I always feel happy. It is really fun to talk with my lovely friends from other countries. We talked about a lot of things that day too. Gen, Clark and Jordan suddenly told me that my English got much better than when they met me for the first time, I could enough communicate with them in English, and that I didn't have to change my English pronunciation. I didn't expect them to tell me such things so I felt really happy. Also, it made me want to study English much more! There are many English pronunciations. That's why they told me that I didn't have to change it. Gen is from the UK, Clark is from America and Jordan is from Canada. Clark's English pronunciation and Jordan's are similar. Recently I have really felt the difference between American English and British English. Gen told me that she could catch what I say and communicate with me in English. I could hear a nice thing from Gen. It was that she couldn't speak Japanese perfectly but she could communicate with me in Japanese so the time to study Japanese was over and she wanted to start studying French next. I sometimes think why I want to speak English fluently and perfectly, why I decided to study in Canada and why I want to work by using English in the future. I agree with her opinion and I thought it was very nice. Now I haven't decided what kind of job I want to get in the future but I really like studying Englsih. To be more exact, I really like talkingh with people from other countries. All I have to do is to keep studying English. I am gald to have such good frineds. Nice chatting with you guys! Thank you so much :)
