my project in February.

Now I have finished all finals. It is fearful to count how many credit I could get in this term. If I missed a few of credits, I think I will do so hard in next term.
So.. let's think about the plans in spring vacation! I have a lot of plans in February. First, is a special training class for TOEFL. I have ever taken this class twice. But this time is the most important chance. I think I will take next exchange program exam. I need more 60 or 70 score. Hopefully I want to get. It depends on myself. The next pleasure is trip to Osaka. It is going to be biggest fun in this vacation. Maiko and I will enjoy shopping, sightseeing, and of course... seeing Taylorr!!! :p wrote about it too much. Also, I will attend a fitness center with my mom for a month. Since 2 years ago I quited playing badminton in the club of high school, I have too little exercises. I don't want to male my size increase anymore :( Swimming is also good idea.
Of course I have my part time job. I will need much money. I don't want to spend a quarter of a day by part time job though.. 2 months passed since I got this job. It still hard work, but better than the first month.
I have one more trip in February, my club's trip.The farewell trip for my club mates who will graduate on March. I will miss them. We will go to Kitakyushu, and I don't know what we will go there yet. I am looking forward to it also.

So, almost KGU students have 2 months long vacation. Do you think that we have time nothing to do? I think it is totally NO. But, have fun on your plans^^!

Social Network

I saw Social Network yesterday. It was so difficult to understand for me because I am not good at using pc. I have my facebook since last years. Now I have many friends and enjoy communicating with them. I like to look the pics that were taken in foreign countries of some friends who stayed or staying there. Every pics are the place I longed for. It has fun.

I cannot say many things about Social Network because some people who is going to see it later might read my blog. Just difficult and a little interesting, and it changed my impression for facebook.

I saw some people opening pc and checking facebook at home, when I was in Minnesota. It is surely famous facebook in US and I felt that. But according to my host mother, "Some people is on facebook aaaall day, I can't understand." Yeah that is right. Sometimes facebook disturbs my study. I can't stop checking if I started at once.

I will upload the pics that I took at coming of age day with my friends. We dressed kimono so I want to show off to my American friends!

Essay6: The episode 1 of “The O.C.”

I introduce my favorite, overseas TV drama, “The O.C.”. A few months ago, some of
my friends were talking about this drama. I know that such dramas as The O.C. have
long episodes, so I didn’t feel like watching them. And my close friend told me what an
amusing drama it is. Actually I couldn’t get what he was saying well. But I was getting
interested in it. Then I went to TSUTAYA and rented the volume 1 to 5 of The O.C. and
watched them. It was so much more exciting than I expected! Moreover, the 100 yen per
1 DVD cost was a good price for me. So, let me talk about the story that is worth
watching.
The story is set in California. There were brothers, Trey and Ryan. The bigger one
Trey was drunk, and stole a car with Ryan. Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) couldn’t stop his
brother, and then they ran away from the police chase. And they were caught. Trey was
arrested, and Ryan was released. His mother Dawn picked him up and shouted at him.
The lawyer, Sandy Cohen was worried about Ryan, and gave him a memo with his
phone number written on it. And saw him off. Dawn’s car got the home in Chino, there
was Dawn’s lover AJ. He hated Ryan, and beat him. He and Dawn threw Ryan out from
the house. He got out with his bike, and called all his friends from a public telephone.
He couldn’t contact anyone. Instead, he found the memo and called Sandy. After that
Sandy came to pick him up and took Sandy home in Orange County, with his bike.
At Cohen’s, Sandy’s wife Kirstin and the son Seth were there. Seth was same age as
Ryan, and he had many comic books and little friends. They got along with each other
soon, Seth was really excited to meet him, and welcomed him. However, Kirstin
watched out for Ryan, and worried about Seth. Sandy suggested that staying home to
Ryan. Seth was glad so much, Kirstin opposed but not strongly, and Ryan hesitated.
Then the time was late so they decided to let Ryan stay the night there.
The next door’s girl, Marissa was waiting for her boy friend in front of the home.
Ryan saw her, and couldn’t take his eyes off of her. They talked for a short time, then
Marissa’s boyfriend who drove a big great truck came, and they had gone. Ryan’s
stormy life began.
This story never goes along our expectations. That is why I said “the story is worth
watching”.

BR12: Dessert

There is the biggest dessert in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia all over the world. That is the Sahara desert.
Now dessert is going to spread all over the world, There are some reasons. People cut the trees too much, so CO2 doesn't absorb by trees, then it causes the grobal warming. In addition, the grobal warming causes desertification.
These things are said as the other reasons of desertification; slash-and-burn faeming, surplus population, too much pasturing, and cultivation. Of course climmate changing is one of the reasons.
There is even a treaty for the desertification.
To try not extend dessert anymore, people should live them lives with consideration about environmental. It is quite serious problem.

w weeka ago i saw "Dat after (FLOOD)", this barrier was broken in this movie..








From 1665 to 1666, people had 2 large disasters in London. The plague and big fire. The plague raged and killed a hundred thousand people. The great fire of London was caused by a small fire. The fire broke out in aa bakery, and it extended widely for 4 days. It is also said this fire stopped the spread of the plague, fortunately or not. Bless you.

I am also interested in the fashion brands from England. Like Mary Quant, Cath Kidston, Burberry, and so on. These goods are very cute but so expensive for me.
