Off to Canada I just left for Canada, and staying there with my friends for two weeks. I have been so looking forward to it because it has been more than four years since we met each other. My host family picked me off at a bus station and said to me "Good bye", which was kind of sad thinking of the last two weeks spent with them. They took me to different places such as a community church, snow mountains and beautiful parks. I've already watched as many as 24films with them only during the last two weeks. I'd like to keep myself grateful for those people and make this coming two weeks pleasant and meaningful.

The Winter Break Yesterday,I finished exams and my winter break finally starts today ! I was so busy with exams and presentations last two weeks, but now that I have one month off, I'm so excited :) I'm gonna stay at my host family's house in December, which is gonna be really meaningful for me because they always take me to different places and teach me lots of informative things. The goals for this winter break are talking with many people, reading a book,and practicing the violin. Good night !

American Football Yesterday, I went to watch a college football game with my Japanse friends. We woke up late because we bought many cloths on Black Friday and so tired the previous day. But due to the deep and long sleep, we could be refreshed when we got up. We bought and wore sweatshirt that has a university logo, a beanie and pretty stickers on our cheeks for the game. It was so enthusiastic and fun as we forgot a coldness outside. Our team got points constantly though it sometimes allowed the opponent to do so, and it finally won :D The most surprising thing for me was there were more than 50000 people watching the game in the studium. Also everyone cheered up so loudly and sang and danced freely, which just looked like America! The girl next to us shouted out vulgar words so many times that we laughed a lot. Anyways, I had so much fun and I'd like to say thank you to my friends who invited me there. I will never forget this event.

Happy Thanksgiving ! Today 11/26 is Thanksgiving day. I celebrated Thanksgiving day with my friends and their host family. Actually we don't have this kinda event in Japan, so I was really excited to have Thanksgiving dinner with them. We ate really big turkey (We couldn't finish even half with five people), the staff, mashed mpotatoes, sweet potatoes, friendship breads, and pumpkin pies. They were all tasty. The thing is I was so happy to spend time with my beloved people with casual talk. My eyes are bigger than my stomach. I'm so thankful for those all who support me; my parents, my teachers and my lovely friends !

Orange is the new black Recently I've been really into an American drama series, "Orange is the new black.", which is made by Netflix. This drama series are about different kinds of women in a woman prison. Actually my roommate was so hooked on it that I started watching it. Once I started watching it, I couldn't stop because not only the plot but also the characters are really interesting.Jennifer. So many memorable women appear on it and it focuses on each woman in detail. Though I have watched only 1 season, I find Alex really mysterious and somehow attractive. I'm stoked for watching the rest of the stories :)

A life at the States It's gonna have been two monthes since I came here, the USA soon. I take pains talking with native English speakers every day. But since people here are so sweet I'm leading meaningful days :) Recently I have known how hard American college students study and how freely they live their lives. Compared to Japanese, they are really confident and they assert theirselves. I think they don't mind about how they are looked by others as much as Japanese. So I feel really confortable here though there are arguments for and against this. I'm swamped with my HW also today This is no time for using my phone for fun Thank you for reading.

The Little Mermaid Today, I went to see a play, "The Little Mermaid". This story is adapted from the Disney's one, so I had already known the outline of the story. However, I enjoyed it so much and found it impeccable. What I was amazed at the most was the cast's performances. I thought as if they were swimming under the sea in fact and the clear voice of Ariel indicated her vivacious and charming personality! I was impressed by the romantic love worldview. I had a great time.

Seventeen Again I watched a film, "Seventeen Again"starring Zac Efron. This is a movie about a haggard man in his middle age who goes back into the seventeen only in terms of appearance. It was hilarious and impressive full of different love of parents, friends and lovers. I found the main character, Zac Efron awesome. I had watched him on a film, "High School Musical" but he looked more fascinating this time for me. I heard he was really famous and invincible in the USA. One of my friends have morbid love to him, but I understood her a little haha ;p

The Earthquake Today, a magnitude 5 earthquake is observed in the Ogasawara islands. When it occured, I was taking a dinner in a restautant in Tokyo. I remember the shandelia was shaking largely. Most of trains stopped, but they started to move right now. I'm on a train going home. I'd like to go home as soon as possible :(
