University student

Finally, I’m gonna be a university student in Canada next year! I’ve gone to language school since last Sep. and now, I’m in level 5. Usually we can’t enter the university without passing level 6, the highest level of our language school, but luckily I can enter SMU without passing the hardiest level! I appealed to the international student manager of SMU to take university courses. I think my English is not good enough to take any university courses but I really want to take them and study something in English. That’s why I am in here and taking university courses must improve my English skills dramatically. I know university courses are more difficult than language courses, but I’m so excited now J And winter vacation is coming soon!! It’s also makes me happy!! But before it, I have to finish 2 research papers and CanTest L aww, it’s killing me… in addition this, I have a clod. I feel a little bit better now and I feel hungry but if I eat something, I have a stomachache. So I can’t eat…. Hmm, what should I do for me??

Party*party*party =)

              This weekend, I took part in 3 parties. They hold on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

              Thursday’s party was suddenly one. I was invited one of my Japanese friends on Wednesday night and I invited my Canadian friend on Thursday. He brought other Canadian guy, and this guy also brought another guys… so this party became a little bit big one. Because of the number we had to wait about an hour, but this party was very fun! We ate a lot of chicken wings and drank tons of beer :P I have a morning class on Friday, so I intended to go back to residence after the dinner. But alcohol makes me happy and I said yes to invitation to go to nightclub. We danced at there until 2:00am. I was very drunk but it was really fun time. I went to bet around 4:00am….

              On Friday, I woke up at 8:00am as usual! I took a shower quickly and called to my boyfriend, because November 7 is his birthday!! Actually I had to call him at yesterday night, because you know, there are 13 hours time difference between Japan and East Canada. I was so tired but I tried to hide that :P I hope he didn’t get angry. After the morning class, I met my conversation partner and went to her house to prepare for our party. Her house was neat and cute and there are 2 cats and dog. Actually I’m afraid of dogs but somehow I could pat her dog. First of all, we backed chocolate cake. To read recipe in English was a little difficult for me, but I often bake cakes so I could understand them. In addition cake, we also cooked Yakitori, cheese and macaroni, and rice. It took about 3 hours but my conversation partner and I like cooking, so it was not tough work for us. Our friends told us “these dishes were so delicious, thank you” so we were so happy. Probably we will have parties again!

              On yesterday night, I went to nightclub with my friends. We go out every weekend and enjoy dancing. I really like to go to nightclub these guys :D I wore a new one-piece to there. I like it but someone spill over drink to me! That’s sucks :’( It’s a knit, so I can’t wash it easily :S I wish it’s not smells alcohol.

              This weekend was a little bit busy for me but it was awesome!! I wanna skip tomorrow classes, but I will drink at my friend’s room on tomorrow night, so I’m exciting now!

Oath

Today I received the CanTest’s score of Fall 1. I wanted to go into a level 6, but I couldn’t… I am eager to get out TESL as soon as possible, so I’ll try to study hard in Fall 2 and Winter 1.

 

To improve my English skills,

1. I write about something in English everyday (about 1 paragraph)

2. I read a couple of pages of English books everyday (10 to 15 minutes)

3. I speak more with Canadian, such as my roommate and friends.

4. I watch the news and try to understand as much as possible.

5. I do “iknow” and increase my English vocabulary.

Take a walk

It is a beautiful sunny day today. After I did my homework, I went to the Point Pleasant Park to take a walk. It is a big and good park for taking a walk. I walked to the sea. A view of the ocean is great. I sit a bench and looked blankly at the ocean with listening music. When I was listening “sobani irune” by Aoyama, Teruma, I suddenly remembered my boyfriend, felt solitary and burst out crying. I know I made decision by myself and he support my challenge, but he have never called me and said “I miss you” to me. Yesterday, I said to him, “I wanna spend Christmas with you at NY”, but he said “I have to do many things on New Year’s Day and have no money.” It is sure that coming to NY takes high cost and long time, but I miss him and wanna meet him very mush. I wouldn’t think bad thing but perhaps he doesn’t mess me…

I really want to meet him!!!!!

Pickup

Day before yesterday, I was got picked up by Chinese guy. I mean he suddenly gave his e-mail address and asked my e-mail address. I told him easily, but it was suck!!!! After class, he mailed to me and asked my room number and telephone ext. I didn’t tell these so I ignore him, but he is really persistent. Finally I wrote:

 

“don’t you look my state? now I’m talking with my daring, so I have no time to chat with you. I wouldn’t tell my room number!!”

 

Can you guess what he said? He answered:

 

“never mind”

 

I can’t understand why he said so. He still asks my weekend plan. I have no plan on Sunday, but of cause I said “I have plans on this weekend.”

 

I feel a little scary, and don’t want to see his face, but I have same class with him on every Monday and Wednesday L oh my god!!!

Yoga

I took part in Yoga class with my friends today. It is took place in Tower, my University’s fitness centre, and free program. I have done yoga on wii fit, but attending yoga class was my first time. I have wanted to learn yoga, so this class is very good for me. I could some of poses, but the others are difficult for me. I want to continue to join this class and master all of poses. During yoga class, I didn’t feel any pain but now I feel muscular pain. It will be hard tomorrow… somehow or other, I like this pain :P

After the yoga class, I checked body weight. I don’t get weight :D I wanna keep my weight!!!

How time flies!

I’ve came Canada on 27 Aug. and 3 weeks run out all too quickly. I have experienced new things for the past 3 weeks. For example, I sow the Niagara Falls, took part in school event, and made many friends.

First, on 27 August, we left Kumamoto airport and arrived Toronto airport. It took about 12 hours. We were so tired because of long flight. As soon as we got to Toronto airport, rode in bus to Niagara. We reached Niagara around 9:00 p.m. You know, we were very tiered, but beautiful sight of the Niagara Falls made us feel alive. The illuminated falls and fireworks were so beautiful. Next morning, we boarded a maid of the mist, which is popular attraction of the Niagara Falls and go in to the Falls. It was powerful and fun.

Second, we took part in school events. There are many orientations and games in the first week. Above all, “turf burn” was very interesting. It was held for freshman of my University students and we did many crazy games. First, I couldn’t come out of my shell, but through these games, I opened up myself. “Coffee and doughnut” is also my favorite event. It’s had every Friday and we can eat many doughnuts. On first Friday, I ate 4 doughnuts and I felt sick at the stomach.

Finally, I made many friends for the past 3 weeks. I got to know through events and class. There are many international students in my University. Our English skills are not good enough yet, so it is a little difficult to communicate in English. Some times I am annoyed at my English skills, because I want to say something but I can’t transfer into English. For better communicate, I have to study English very hard :P

I can’t believe I am already staying Canada over 3 weeks. Probably this year will pass quickly. I won’t regret, so I wanna try to anything and do my best.
