New post of the year.

Oh no! I didn't post anything at all in December. That is terrible. I'm so sorry, I feel awful.
How was everyone's break? Mine was fun. I spent alot of time with my family, and got almost everything that I wanted for Christmas.
I just learned that many Japanese people sing Beethoven's 9th symphony on New Year's Eve. We don't do that here in America. Many of us visit family, watch the ball drop, and count down to the new year. What other traditions are there for New Year's Eve in Japan? I would like to know.
Well, have a nice weekend.

The last blog

Hi! How are you?
Have you finished your examinations yet? I have examinations on January after winter vacation. The winter vacation is from December 21 to January 10. It’s hard to write reports and study for examinations… In cross-cultural communication class, we formed ourselves in groups of 3 and do presentations about the countries which each groups chose　in the class on January. My group chose “South Korea” because all members of my group added in me　have been there. We are making slide shows with Power Point to use in presentation.

By the way, this is the last blog! I’m very sad that I can’t read your blog.
I could learn many things about your culture through this “Team Blog Project”. This was the precious experience　for me. I wanna keep communicating with you from now on.
This is my email address: yuka_december@yahoo.co.jp 　
Please send your email to me anytime! I’m looking forward to reading your email.

Christmas is a week away, but it’s very cold recently, so please take care of yourself.
Merry Christmas to you!

Thank you☆

In last weekend, I went t0 Tokyo Disney Land and Tokyo. Have you ever been there??? In Tokyo, I went to Asakusa and ate Monjya-yaki(like Okonomi-yaki), went to Asakusa to visit a shrine, went to Akihabara. Do you know this place??? There are many game or anime maniacs. And Maid cafe(clerk looks like maid) is popular, of course I went. ha-ha. But I'm not Anime or Game maniac!!! Roppongi was very nice place. Illumination was beautiful. If you go to Tokyo, please go there.

Well.... I had a very very nice time. Thank you very much.
Let's keep in touch. See you again. Rie

On January I'm going to go to Tokyo Disny Land with my sister and cousins. I'm looking forward to it!! Do you like this kind of amusement park?? I always enjoy shopping when I go to Disny Land. I like Disny characters! They are very cute! Don't you think?
I don't like roller coaster because I don't like high place, but my sister like it very much!So…maybe …I have to ride.

勉強勉強

月曜日から金曜日まで、期末試験があります。それから、現在から金曜日までてんてこ舞いで勉強しなくてはないんです。僕はたいてい送らせなくても、今回は忙しすぎたから、大した事なかったです。先生はみんな学生たちが期末試験のために勉強するべきのことを知っているけど、僕達は色々な試験や作文をさせられます、毎年に。厳しいなあ。
時間がないから、クラムと言う勉強し方です。クラムと言うのはテストの前日ばっかり何時間も徹夜の勉強する事とか、テストのすぐ前に勉強することです。日本語でクラムは何ですか。
クラムするのが大きらいですよ。皆さんは？

勉強しつつ、音楽を聞くのが好きのです。ただし、音楽は英語で歌ったら、ワークを焦点を絞れません。一方、日本語とかフランス語とか中国語の音楽などなどで、できます。

では、早速音楽聞いて、大変に勉強しよう！皆さん、休まずに勉強よ。

What do I do over Winter Break? I read lots and lots of books. I actually try to do my reading for the next semester to get ahead. My mother spends almost all of the winter in our cottage in Florida, so I drive down with my family, reading books all along the way. It is a really long drive, so I have lots of time to read when my dad or mom or someone else is driving.

Our cottage is in the middle of Florida, near a city called Ocala. That area produces more race horses than any other place in America. Instead of a rooster crowing, I get woken up by horses neighing.

My cottage is also close to a lot of attractions. Forty-five minutes to the east is Disney World, and forty-five minutes to the west is The Gulf of Mexico. There are all kinds of great beaches (where I also spend a lot of time reading).

It seems that I only value places where I can read. I guess I just love reading.

Hey Everyone!

Hi everybody. Life is getting stressful with finals coming up, but one good thing is that winter vacation is coming up!
What do you guys like to do? I don't usually go on big vacations like a lot of people. I mostly stay and home and sleep, since I don't get much sleep at school.
Do Japanese college students have a long winter break?
Sorry my post was so short, I have to write an essay that's due soon.
Later!
