New Year

A Happy New Year!
I spent happy time in my hometown this New Year.

I wanted to go back to my hometown at once when the winter vacation started.
However I had to do part-time job on Christmas day and New Year, so I could not stay my hometown for a long time.
This year end, I felt delightful that I spent with all member of my family after a long time.
I did various things in local neighborhood. For instance, visiting a grave and grandparents' houses.
On the last day of the year, my relatives including us gathered in my grtandfather's house.
I have many uncles and aunts and more than 15 cousins. And recently, my cousin gave birth to a baby.
I look forward to meeting them on this day every year.
We hung out while chatting with everyone and watching "the Red and White singing contest" immediately before a New Year.
And then, I returned to my home and saw out the old year with my family.
I could calm myself down.

I returned promptly to Hyogo on January 2nd because I had to work.
The shop was very crowded that day and I was tired, but I was mentally at my peak.

Discovery

I will write about my discovery.

I dislike to make haste.
Whenever I can't hurry though I have to hurry (for example, in morning, to write a report etc.).
When I was junior and senior high school student, I didn't notice. Because If I got up late, my mother said me "hurry!" so I didn't be late for school not at all. I got a reward for perfect attendance thanks to her.
Now, She isn't in my room since I live by myself.
There is a possibility of being late.

So I'm nervous when I wake up every morning.
What I do firstly a day is confirmation whether I can wake up on time or not.
However, If I am late for getting up, I can't do early behavior.
I know this personality, I prepare for everything as soon as possible.
When the teather give me assignment in class, I will start from the day.

I might be at my own speed.
But If I become a working member of society with this weakness, I will thwart my colleagues, I think.
I would like to change this weakness.

Future of our planet and my life.

Recentry, most people pay attention to protect the global environment.
For example, they go shopping with an ecological shopping bag, ride an ecocar, produce eco-friendly goods.
The reason why is that they are aware of the warming of the global progresses.
In general, it is said that the warming of the globe maintain advancement for years and years.
If it will become in the future, an effect of the warming of the global reach everywhere and we can't live comfortably on the earth.

Now most people do something to prevent the warming of the globe.
I write examples as I hit upon.
First, a person turn off the light when he leave a room.
Second, remove diligently a plug from a socket.
Third, don't leave a refrigerator door opened.

However I think the warming of the globe don't stop over the years.
People make a lot of grate product development.
For instance automobiles, factories, and so on.
People can't return the inconvenient life again however much we feel anxiety the earth.
So, people in the whole world continue to develop useful things in the factory and to put out carbon dioxide.
In the future, abnormal weather occur and we must establish strict measures, I think.

And I imagine myself in the future.
When I'm 23, I will get a job. Now I want to work in Hyogo or the Kansai Region, but I don't picture where I work.
According to my plan, I will have worked for 5 years at a minimum.
If I have a chance, I'd like to get married in later half of my tewnties.
And I'm in my thirties,I have children so I become a mother but I don't want to be a full time housewife.
I'm busy in my thirties since I do housework while working.
I would like to lead a happy life even if the global environment will be bad.^^;

Tastes and Preference.

I used to take lessons in various fields.
For instance an abacus, swimming, a drawing, play the piano, and so on.
This time I write about an abacus.


When I was a primary schoolchild in the third and fourth grades, I started learning it.
The abacus school which I took lessons was especially strict.
I have to go there four or five times a week.
I was sick of studing hard at first though people of the same generation played with their playmates.
I was only a child at the time, so I disliked commuting.
However, my friends gradually went there since the school had a good reputation with our parents.
So I could engoy going there and studying abacus.

After a long time, my teacher proposed opening a class of arithmetic another abacus classes.
We disliked this idea, but our parents were glad of it.
So, we have to go there five or six times a week.


Unexpectedly, the class of arithmetic was interesting a little.
Sometimes my teacher took an extracurricular class.
I could remember about studying "a meter".
We made actually a meter string outside.

Thanks to the teacher, my school record was good.
I dropped out of there when I was in the sixth grade since I prepared for an entrance examination to a private junior high school.
I could be easy to understand, maybe I went this school.
I deeply appreciated my teacher.

Getting married

Last Sunday, I got back to my parent's house because there is my cousin's wedding.
He used to play with me in my infancy, so I'm delighted at this marriage.
By the way, I don't see my relatives very often since there are a lot of people.
In this case, all of them gathered for celebrating of his marriage.
I enjoyed meeting them though I couldn't be aware which person is my relative at first.

The cousin had a church wedding.
We sang the hymn, read the Bible, and they exchanged rings.
Bride's wedding dress was beautiful.(But this picture is not them.)
Afteer the wedding, the wedding reception was held at hotel for 3 hours.
In the reception, many dishes were served.
Thet are pretty delicious.
Their bosses speach, a bride's change of costumes, distribute confectionery to children, their friends sing a song, and finally, bride's letter for her parents.
It was moving so everyone in the floor sobbed.
This wedding was very happy for everyone!

...If I do to add another word, air-conditioner is too effective in the floor.

I came to want to marry after I attended this marriage.
I think that a married is good when they seem to be happy.
However, it is said "The marriage is a graveyard of the life" in Japan.
If I marry to someone, I should think not only me but also partner.
Freedom is lost.
I think marriage is nice, but I should be not too hurry of the marriage.

A Good Friend

I will write about my friend Reina.
She is one of my friends who lives in Aichi prefecture.
Though we went to the same school for six years from the junior high school to the high school, we were not classmates in the same class.
I met her at glee club which is a group of people who sing together.
We did not mutually have a good impression first so I was not her friend for one year.
One day, we hang out with the mutual friend but unexpected we were able to talk a lot.
After that, I hang out with her even by us.
We got along well for five years.


When we were third grade of high school, I decided to come to Hyogo and enter this univercity, she decided to enter the univercity in Aichi.
We felt sad to meet easily for a while, but she said that she will come to Hyogo to hang out.
Thus, we entered defferent university.



September, She came to Hyogo at last.
She stayed at my room, and the next day, shopping together in Umeda.
It was a little hot on the day so we ate the parfait together(under the photo).
It's a very delicious because we were glad to meet after a long time.

Even if lomg time passes,
she might be a friend of me.

A special day

Special day for me is holding my birthday & farewell party with my family.
My birthday is March 7th but I was busy with preparation for moving from Aich to Hyogo this year. So, my birthday party was postponed until end of the month and it was done jointly my farewell party.
We have a lunch together at Marino where is Italian restaurant near my house and I love their pizza.
My mother also loves there and she is a customer in the restaurant.
Then, she spoke my party to a restaurant assistant, and he did a lot of services.
Everyone, please pay attention to this photo and compare it with the next plate. It's one of his services.(but we paid money of cause.)
The amounts of the pizza was large though my families were four people.
We felt fullness after a pizza though we ate deliciously.
However he brought a lot of dessert.
It was taken home because we were not able to eat indeed.

I was glad and satisfied with his service very much. And it was happy to talk with my family a lot.


This is a special day!!!

Communication in a high tech world.

I will be response to John's blog.

I'm sure that people don't have enough time to communicate with another person recently.
Though the source of it is not only high technologies, I think the main reason is it.
One of reason is our nowadays character become cool. As keep developing high technologies of the game and the website etc, our enthusiasm disappeared and we don't talk too much positively to others I think.

High technology makes our life convenient.
For instance, we can contact a person who is far away thanks to internet or mobile phone. Besides, we're able to make friends around the world when we've just thought of it. That makes us happy.
However, we shouldn't be crazy about it very much. It's not that we live in website. If we crazy too much about it, we become unskilled communications in the real world.

Therefore, I think we don't carry use high technology too far.

Strengths and limitations about globalization

I think sports is a symbol of globalization.
l like baseball but it isn't originally sports of Japan.
It was handed down from the United States in the past.
And now, baseball become worldwide sports.
World Baseball Classic was held in 2009 and it put enthusiasm (probably) all over the world!

It is strength about globalization that people all over the world are interested in the same event.
So we can communicate with other country people in the globalization.


On the other hand, there is limitations about globalization.
I went to social-welfare class with cabbage27 and we studied about handicapped people.
Then I learnt "the thalidomide scandal" for the first time.
Thalidomide is a drug which was given to pregnant woman,it was found to have prevented some babies from developing normal arms and legs in the 1960s.
The sleeping medicine including thalidomide was imported from West Germany and a lot of thalidomide babies were born in Japan.


The globalization has good points and bad points.
Though The globalization is necessary for us, I think we have not to depend on the globalization too much.

Summer vacation

There are many things on my summer vacation.
First, I stayed at Takarazuka(potato1005's house and potato519's house)with cabbage27 on July 23.
We are close friends, but I stayed there for the first time.
For evening, we made a lot of takoyaki and I was glad!
However, nobody was able to eat all of it since we made too many takoyakies.
Those takoyakies were left, but after all, we didn't leave anything next morning!
...I thought that we shouldn't make evrything at once.


Second, I displayed fireworks with my childhood friends in Nagoya.
It has been a long time since I saw them last, and also I haven't displayed fireworks for a long time.
Especially, toy sparklers are tasteful and we talked a lot during doing them.
They was pretty beautiful, and I was very excited!
But there are a lot of mosquitos in the park, we were bitten by them.
I felt irritable a bit.


Third, I went to Universal Studio Japan with cabbage27 and potato519 and our friend.
We could be enjoy!
We rode a new roller coaster first. I felt nervous before rode it since I haven't ridden ever.
People had lined up in front of the attraction so we had waited, and then rode it!
Despite my tension it started but it delighted me.
After all, I rode it twice.

In this picture, we wore 3D glasses for spider man's attraction.
Spiderman and enemies protruded from screen.
We were able to have a interesting time.
In addition, we rode the other roller coaster a lot.
the most terrible roller coaster called "Hollywood dream", we rode more twice.
So, my field of vision gradually turn.

Anyway, I had enjoy time on this summer.^^

I went to university!

My summer vacation started already.
However, I felt lonely because I didn't do anything today.
Then, I went to university! And I'm writing IS computer room now.
I could meet zucchini432 and potato519 so I'm deeply happy though I walked in the noon heat.

Sometimes I will go to university this summer. ^ ^

Summer vacation comes soon!

Today I finished classes of this term.
Last class is John's speaking test.
I and cabbage27 and paprika218 chose "current life".
However, we talked gradually about sweets.~~;
Sorry John!**;

Summer vacation comes soon!
I'm going to back to Aich for a month.
I will return home and meet family, friends after a long absence.
Maybe my friends' appearance have changed a bit from last meeting.
When I talked them on the phone that some friends dyed their hair brown.
I look forward to meet them.

...But I have to write a report today.
Keep fighting, me!

Moving experience.

This story is about my yonger brother.

One day we played together outside.
Maybe I was 10 years old and he was 8 years old.
After that, we went back home while competing which could pedal a bicycle earlier.
Now I think that we were foolish.
I was winning the competition and was pedalling earlier than him.
When we went across the road, my brother almost collided with one car.
The car stopped just barely on time so he was safe.
The driver got off the car but we became scary, and ran away without apology.

We arrived at home and parked our bicycles in front of our house.
And then we were watching TV.
Long time after, There was a ring at the door and the driver came my house.
He worried about my brother so he looked for us for a long time.
He found our bicycles which parked in front of our house.
And he said to my brother "Are you all right?"
My mother apologized to him for our behavior and felt emotion.
We were sorry that we ran away that time and we were impressed.

I thought that I want to become a person like him when I grow up.

My good and bad points.

I have many bad points.
The thing I want to change most is that I don't do any things what I'm not interested.
Maybe.., it's AB type of a peculiarity.
For example, I listen earnastly to an interesting lecture but I'm sleepy boring lecture immediately.
In KGclub, I do presentation hard but I don't draw a map seriously.
I would like to alter this bad point and I do my best at any time.

However, I have good point.
I think that I adapt someone or somewhere... probably.
My character is not willfulness but suit someone because I'm a first-born daughter.
When I was child, I had often patience and I was self-controlled.
In addition, I didn't get heavy homesick when I moved to Hyogo. If anything, I try to conform there.
That is why, I try to adapt someone or somewhere everything I can.


...I can't know myself enough.
Please teach me my good and bad points!><

Report to everyone.

I'd like to report to everyone.


Though I had written about presentation of my university life on blog ("Things I'd like to accomplish") , I finished checking it by a teacher of the entrance examination without incident today.

I felt nervous after all, but time passed soon.
The teacher didn't say my good point (I'm sad...) but she said "I understand that you had practiced a lot"!
I was pretty happy.
Thank you for your encouraging words!

And then, I heard older student's presentation.
I was surprised that it was very well!
I thought that I had to practice more.

I'm going to do this presentation to parents of students preparing for an entrance examination on Saturday at KG university.
However, I don't think that I 'm nervous so much because of second times.
I'm going to enjoy it this time.

Big chocolate parfait.

Yesterday, I went to university in spite of a holiday by reason of participation in a explanatory meeting of Japanese partoner. It took about a hour or more but I spent time pleasantly because I was with cabbege27.

After that, we felt very hot and decided to go to a cafe in Nishinomiya Gardens. we made a order a big chocolate parfait after standing in a line for a few minutes. We separately ate the parfait since it was really big. It was very delicious and cold, we satisfied with it!

we chatted for a long time during eating it but we felt cold gradually. Moreover, an air conditioner began to start being strong inside there. We seemed to be in the refrigerator.

Anyway, we completely ate the parfait. We went out there but we still felt cold.

And then, we went window-shopping in Nishinomiya Gardens.

I was able to spend happy time. Thank you cabbege27! Let's hang out again!

Things I'd like to accomplish

Hello!
I hate hot day but the temperature is high recently.
Please shut your eyes when I'm sweating. ...^^
I wish it were cloudy everyday! **;

By the way, I'm giong to write about things I'd like to accomplish.

I belong to KGclub which holds open campus at KG university so I'd like to succeed with open campus in this summer.

First, I want to achieve introducing students preparing for an entrance examination my university life.
I'm nervous because I've never done presentation in public so I have to prepare fully for it.
However, I'm glad that older students in KGclub give me advices these days.
I must do it at the meeting of KGclub in two weeks, teacher of entrance examination department checks it then.
Next, I'll do it in open campus(on July 31 or August 1).

I often take a picture of classes, my daily life and my friends. Thank you for your cooperation.

Second, I try to do campus-tour on August 1.
I sometimes feel anxiety how many participants about my tour but it's no use worring about the future.
Therefore, I'm planning to practice hard.
...Today(June 18), I have to practice with older students after English writing class!

I do my best and work hard to the end.

Thank you.

What I'd do if I were rich

If I were Rich, I’d travel all over the world.
If I have a lot of money, I won’t have to work so that I will have a lot of time.

First, I’d like to go to Australia, but I already wrote it last blog. I want to visit Ayers Rock and see a beautiful red sand.
Second, I’d go to China because I learn Chinese at college. I want to talk with native Chinese people in Chinese. Since I’ve never been to the Great Wall, I’d visit there. I'd like to reach the top part.
Third, I’d go to Italy, especially Amalfi. I watched Amalfi’s scenery on TV and thought that I have always wanted to go there. There are very blue ocean and very white houses, I am impressed with that contrast.
Next, I’d like to go to Egypt. Needless to say, I will visit pyramids. However, I only would watch that. I don’t want to go inside because I’m scared. In addition, I want to listen to unique local music.

In fact, I’d like to tell more, but it’s too long.
So this is the last one I definitely go to Hawaii. I want to watch beautiful sea and swim there. Also, I'd try to dance the hura. I hope to spend my time until I am satisfied with.

If you have the same ideas, let's speak together!

Somewhere I'd like to live

I'd like to live in Australia.

First of all, I'm interested in the difference between Japanese and other cultures.
For example, when I saw Ayers Rock on TV, I thought "What a beautiful red sand!".
I want to visit there.
Australia's seasons are exactly the opposite of Japan's.
So, In Australia, Santa Claus rides a surfboard, instead of a sled.

I like animals because they make me relax.
I'm hoping to bump into wild kangaroo and koalas.
Also, Australia is a peaceful and quiet place.
I dislike crowds and noisy place.
I often go shopping in the city but loud noises stress me out.
If I live in Australia, I want to spend my life relaxing and seeing wild animals.

In conclusion, I'd like to live in Australia.

My life these days.

Hello. My name is Carrot37.
I'm a freshman at KWANSEI GAKUIN UNIVERSITY.
March 31th I moved to Hyogo from Aichi.
Today, I make blog for the first time.

Recently, I'm tired because I'm not used to going to university and living myself.
So, I'm going to sleep off my tiredness during Golden Week.
But I enjoy talking with my friends at university. I could make many friends.

I hold out keep up in classes.

Thank you.
