Japan!

I've finally come backto Japan!Since I was tired after arriving home,I went to bed and took a nap subconsciously,then I wake up and got out of the bath just now.it's around midnight.Basically, I love to take a bath for a long time soaking in a hot bath.But in America,people do with just shower.Though I could successfully adjusted myself to this costom during my stay,I prefer Japanese hot spring culture after all.Anyway, I feel more confortable in my house with my parents(but actually,my father was just living to his trip of summer vacation).Especially, what makes me relaxed most is my own room which I've been missing all the time in hotel.It is only my space and has all I need but the problem is now it's become really messy with my luggage spilled from my trunk...I might bring too many thing..?But I regard them positively as a kind of proof I could enjoyed a lot.My precious memory**It was really sad and hard to leave teachers or mentors who I love and Marland which I love ,but I was good I could complete this program safely.Great experience!I want to keep in touch with those I met there somehow.Or I realized the necessity to improve my English skill.These would be the reason I'm blogging now even in Japan but I'm concerned about mistakes more than usual because the Microsoft Word in my PC does't contain automatic spell-check system ..that's too bad..By the way, the weather in Japan is much more worse compared with America.provoking humidity.I 'd rather go back to Washington!

final burst*

I’m really sleepy now…in these two days, I stayed up with my friends (the member of this AGU summer program). Basically, I become more energetic at night. But since we came here, we went around for sight seeing or shopping or something activities. So we were supposed to be active not at night but in the morning and I tried to adjust such time schedule then keep the proper life style (cycle) until recently. However, unfortunately, as you know, I wasn’t a person of firm character after all. I always prefer enjoyment and pursue of fun (happiness!!!!). In other words, such my attitude is the treat of myself to lead more grateful life. That could be a kind of excuse for being late and missed all classes in the morning yesterday. I feel very sorry but when I woke up, it already was 11;50, which was unforgettable time, I just wondered why the alarm stopped or why I didn’t notice it ringing, also how quickly the time shifted because I couldn’t remember a bit after going to my bed. It might be a deep sleep, I believe. So I guess I could spend wonderful time in the afternoon visiting the city of diversity and Whitehouse (our last sight seeing spots!) Indeed, time passed really fast here and we are leaving tomorrow. I’ d like to say thank you to everyone who was involved with this tour took care of us(me)for great experience! Love! Now I’m looking forward to farewell party! there must be cakes!

love2

This weekend, I enjoyed myself a lot: we visited Nina’s house and went to karaoke on Friday’s night, which is always the most exciting time in an entire week, went to Annapolis on Saturday, and D.C. again to look around 2 big museums and for sight seeing. I realized I love to have fun through karaoke after all. Since I got a lot of food (I like cookies!)I had power, energy at that time, so I could sing (but my voice or sense of rhythm are terrible. sorry*), dance, and jump sometimes. Even we went back to Quality Inn. I was so exited that I couldn’t sleep soon after! Next day, Annapolis became one of the best places I‘d love to live in in my future when I would be retired. It was really sunny day but the atmosphere there made me happier! I ate crab dip, which was good, and bought many souvenirs (all for myself!!) I was born in Yokohama where there is also nice bay and harbor so I felt little bit familiar, but the one in Annapolis has something different though some points they are similar. It was more like the one in Disney land (Disney Sea), so was foreign countries! After the cruise with wonderful ship, I made my mind to own my ship someday; at least, I want to get a license to control those. I love ocean and people living there. They were cool! That‘s my type, I’ve found finally hahaha-*Anyway, I could be really relaxed on that day. Yesterday was hard on contrary. I chose NMAI and National Museum of Natural History. Both were really interesting to explore inside, but lack of time as usual….so I bought some books to supply my little knowledge. I was content that I could go to Lincoln memorial, which I couldn’t go the last time, after the museum. I was too tired to walk, but now I ‘m fine thanks to delicious food and sound sleep. My classmates are chatting through internet now! But I can’t follow…oh no!

on the 8th day...

Yesterday, we visited IDB and got an opportunity to meet some Japanese people who work there and ask a couple of questions. At first, I couldn’t understand their story a bit even the purpose of their company, but then I felt better since I gradually caught it. After that, we went to the museum of American art next. I was really disappointed because I didn’t have much time to go around, so naturally, we couldn’t see all the pieces there. But ones I could manage to see were all amazing, impressive, have power to attract people. I might like arts. I want to stay longer in Washington and try to look every picture or painting or stuff in museums. But I’m becoming homesick on the other hand. I really missed Japan and actually, couldn’t help crying at my hotel yesterday…..

bird

I have finally overcome the fear of chicken! since I arrived here, I was scared of bird itself because I saw a dead bird on the street on my first day in Maryland. but the chicken I ate at the restaurant we went yesterday was really great. or I reckoned it as if shrimp!(actually, it looked like ebichiri(THE CHINES DISHES)though it was little bit spicy,I had a couple of wings and enjoyed!

Love

Here in America everything is so huge that it’s quite a tiresome work to move one place to another. Even in the campus of the university, I always sweat till we reach the room we supposed to be. I notice that the pace American walks is fast but now I feel like I ‘ve adjusted it a little bit. In any case, It’s really hot and humid! warai* yesterday, we went on shopping to pentagon city ,which we used metro to go. By the way, we often use metro since we arrived in the states. Especially on weekends, which schedule was so hard that it’s not easy to follow, metro was really helpful! Sightseeing is enjoyable but sometimes needs a lot of energy, and so does some pre-knowledge like the historical background. Everywhere we went had great history and of course were very famous but I think with those information, things must be more and more interesting! I should have checked the guidebook or some other stuff! But I can also say this for the classes we had and would have in the future after were back to a.g.u.. I regret my lack of study and made my mind to study more! But what I enjoy the most is shopping after all. I think shopping is like a kind of fight to get as cheep and good items as possible in times! I love the act of shopping itself. When I achieve my purpose then could get more than I expected, I would be satisfied finally. That’s why I try hard to go around and look for clothes or accessories or any other thing with all my effort until I find nice ones. Unfortunately, its becoming the time I have to care about my rest money, maybe, I can’t help and would keep on shopping and spending money as long as I stay in America. Actually that’s my only concern and instead of that, I got to work and earn money after this trip end. I repeat, I ‘ll lead the proper life as a modest, well-balanced adult! Anyway, all these series of experiences were rewarding. The next event is to go to the supermarket in the evening! I’m looking forward it! I’m excited! My pleasure!
