so busy

I've been very busy these days.
I have a lot of papers and finals. From this semester I started to take classes held in Englsih besides Englsih classes.
I got to write many papers in englsih. It takes much time and very hard for me.
Sometimes I feel like to escape from them.
I'm going to america as an exchange student soon, there I have to write all papers in English of cource. I thought taking classes in Englsih would help me to study abroad.

There are only 17 days left before I leave.

I'm gonna have a prty with my friends on 22nd night. I can't wait <3<3


There are many things I have to do though, many many fun events are waiting for me :)

summer is coming!!!

Now I have a lot of things to do like final papers and tests.
But summer vacation is coming soon!!!!!

What is your plan??

I think most of our English classmates go abroad.
As you know, I am going to Amrica for the fist time.
I'm leaving on July 30th, just after final weeks finished.
First, I will go to Seattle and then San Diego. After that, I'm going to San Jose, it is near my college ( university of the pacific).
I'm going to stay with my friends in America who had studied at KGU as an exchange student before.
I can experience a really American life there. So I'm really looking forward to it !!

This summer will be my unforgettable memory for sure.

It is sad that I can't see mu friends in Japan for about one year though.

Let's have a farewell party before we left <3<3

last day of my job

I've worked at a korean restaurant in Umeda since last November.
This restaurant is really really good!!
I really want you to come visit and try the dericious Korean food.

Sometimes I hate my job for some reason.

Today is the last time to work there!!!!!!
Because I want to consentrate on my study and preparing for studying abroad.
I will get more free time!!!!! Yaaaayyyy!!! I really need money though.

these days

I've been very busy these days.

Especially, I'm busy with preparing for studying abroad.
I gotta get VISA. It takes me a lot of time. IT IS SO ANNOYING.
But It makes me excited at the same time.
I'm leaving on July 30th for America.

We are thinking of taking a road trip for a few days. I've never done bofore. So I'm so excited.

Everything will be new for me in America. It has been my dream to study abroad in America since I was a high school student.

I'm a little bit nervous though, I can't wait any more!!!

Anyways, I am really having good time these days :)

marriage

It is said that the age of getting marriaged is becoming older recently in Japan.


I think this is hapening because more mowen work outside thire house recently. 10 or more years ago, women tended to stay home to do housework.


I think once women got their job, they don't quit working. So they tend to delay getting arriaged. I want to get marriaged in the future but not soon. I wannna consentrate on my job for a year and then want to get marriaged with someone i love. I really wanna have my kids :)

I don't think it is so bad that people will get marriaged when they become a little bit older.

Why do tourists continueto stay away from Japan?

Everyone around the world knows that the big earthquake affected Japan and about nuclear problem.

Despite the fact that there are many places far away from the crisis-affected areas, why do tourists keep staying away from Japan??

In my school, many exchange students came back to their own countries earlier than they were supposed to do because of the earthquake.
It is very sad for me that many friends of mine went back suddenly.

I thought Kansai area is safe. It is far away from affected areas.

But Japan is a very small country seen from outside of Japan. Therefore it is natural for people living in foreign countries to think Japan is dangerous now.

What should Japanese tourism officials do to promote Japan as an safe destination?

I think if they say ' Japan is safe now. So come visit!' to forigners very hard, they don't change their mind. They will probably choose other countries for travering instead of Japan.

Why??

Because they don't want to be affected.

I think what solve this problem is 'TIME'. That's it.

I hope people living in affected areas can go back to their life soon.

Do you suffer from ' Facebook depression'?

I think our generation can't live without a social networking site such as Facebook or Mixi.

I've never used facebook before I entered KG. But once I started to use it, I found how convenient and usefully it was. The more I got my friends on my friends list , the more I got addicted to Facebook.

Sometimes I think it is a waste of time to use Facebook but I can't live without it. Because I still keep in touch with my friends living in foreign countries.

I agree the opinion that children should use their time playing outside more than using a conputer. But they need Facebook too.

Of course, It is better to do face-to-face communication than to chat on Facebook. But today we really need it to communicate each other.

We should use these social networking sites to keep in touch with our friends in long distance.
