THANKSGIVING!!



Hey guys!! I had gooood experience through my friends for Thanksgiving. Well, I had 5 days break for Thanksgiving, from Wednesday to Sunday. So basically students went back thier hometown and had a big meal with their family and relatives. In Japan we don't care about this holiday. And then I was so excited about having a traditional food, such as turkey, ham, pie and so on. I had southern meal but I forgot name, sorry about that!!




Well I'll talk about my stories about break in detail^^




Anyway, on thanksgiving day, thursday, I visited Stephanie's house coz Josh made turkey, ham, bread and other southern food. It was yammyyyyyyyyyy!! We had a bunch of food, of course we couldn't finish them. Now his girlfriend and her friends who are my seniors are in Tuscaloosa, and they made Japanese food, Okonomiyaki. I love it:D




On Saturday, Hitomi and I were invited by Micah for thanksgiving dinner. I was glad about that. We made Gyouza and Ayumi who is a graduated student and his girlfriend made Nabe. After he finished his work, we went his mom's place. Before I enterd his house, I was so nurvous coz it was first time to meet his mom and I was worried about if I could talk to her politely or well, you know, just I wanted to be nice to her. BUT!!! She was pretty nice and friendly. I was like I'm happy to see her!! And it was funny to see him and his mom talking coz their way to talk was same!!! And then we had dinner, she likes caring about organic food so the meals were healthy. While we were eating dinner, they talked about lesbian and gay. But I couldn't keep up with their talking, so I felt my listenig was still bad.......


Anyway, I had a good time with them actually I wanna visit again!!! Thank you for inviting us, Micah, Ayumi:)




The other two days, I went to the party. But actually both of them were not so big, I mean just between friends. But I got drunk coz I took shots a lot.That's why.....




You know, I drunk alcohole just two days, to tell the truth, I expected to have alcohole a lot during break but it was not. ahahaaaaaa




Anyway, I enjoyed this break:) Now they are thinkng about X'mas!!! What's going on!?

HARD to SAY

HARD TO SAY!!
Sometimes my friends ask me my opinion when we talk about priovate problems. I often talk serious private thing with Sara. She has a boyfriend in Iraq because of army. They have been dating for about 7 months but their relationship is basically on the phone. They didn't spend enough time toghether coz it was difficult to meet. But one day he said on the phone he wanna live toghether after he came back America. Of course she was so happy but it is not good coz she doesn't know what's going on!! She was worried about that the relationship was getting bad coz it was not little by little. But in his opinion, he wanna be with her anytime coz now they can't meet easily. I know he loves her so much. So they got fight on the phone. After that she asked me what she should. I had a lot of opinion or advice for her, but you know it was hard to say exactly. Anyway I agree with her. I think it is not good to live together without spending enough time.

When I think about my English skill, I was disapointed. I couldn't tell my feeling or opinion crealy. I wanna help her, I want her to be happy so I wanna give her advice that she can choose the best way!!
