Today, I took test about being employed which is previous test before getting job. There were current affair, English, Japanese and Math. Time limiter is 1 hour. I thought that 1 hour is very short time. However it was not true.

And next morning, we got up at 6:30am and made break fast. we were exhausted.

However, we had a really good time.

I met Sakura on Saturday who is a dog. My family kept 1 and half year.

My aunt got her neat to her house. When Sakura was puppy, she was stray dog.

Then my aunt can' t keep Sakura, so my family had to keep her.

My father bought at market.

I was really surprised!!! It is really interesting!

Long time no see!!

Every year of new year's day is very busy for me, because I have to help my parents shop. I live very near to temple. So many people come to play there.
So I have never been to somewhere before on the day. Sometimes, I felt it is not fun. I have to work, work and work. However, I was able to see some acquaintance, and we could do greeting.
At the night, I was so tired that I have gone to bed soon. So, I can't study so much!

About myself

I like talking with foreign people, however When I talked with them. I can't talk very well.
I think that I change my personality while talking with them in English. I am really shy and not so outgoing person. Also, while I talk with friend or otheres, I can't talk them well. I was nervous!!I am not do well.

However, During stay in Minnesota, I always try to do my best. I was not afraid talking mistakes. But now, I back my former self, It's too sad.
I have to practice my English more and more, But I have no oppotunity to talk with foregin student.

I have no confidence to challange something. But I don't want to graduate from this university, I didn't chalk up nothing.

From my host family

My host family send many presents for me, they were really nice.

When I went back from Minnesota, I'd like to send presents them soon.

However, I didn't. So, I took stock of my self.

I send package my host family soon.

There are many interesting candies and good pictures.

When I got this presents from host family, I was really surprised about it.

And, I am really appreciate their kindness, and I am verry happy!!
