I'm a student at SMU, and I've been learning both Japanese and Spanish for a while. I like reading, translating, and hanging out with friends. Recently, I've gotten interested in learning Hindi and Korean. This September, I'm going to study abroad at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan.

finally Thanksgiving!!

sooo tired.

I've had a ton of tests, homework, projects... but I'm gonna go back home next week Tuesday! very happy ^^

I met up with my conversation buddy Yasu last week Saturday. We talked about a bunch of stuff, like how to ride Japanese trains, Japanese food, owarai. We talked for about an hour, and then I went to go see the football game. But I ran into my friend Damian, and we went to eat and watch a movie instead of going to the game, lol. Since Saturday was that Japanese Film Festival here, I went as a volunteer. There I met with my friend Mamiko, whom I met by chance at La Madeline's about two weeks ago, and her husband. I've been sending her emails, she's been responding, and we've been practicing in both Japanese and English. it's been good practice!

Ringu was a bit too scary, but Howl's Moving Castle was awesome!
Apparently the main character's voice actor was Kimura Takuya. Kimitaku's always awesome, lol

My schedule for next semester sucks...
I have class straight from 9am to 3pm - -"

We've decided to go on a cruise this winter break!! looking forward to it ^^
Since we're going to go close to Mexico, I'll get a chance to speak Spanish! haha

everyone have a good Thanksgiving and winter break! take care ^^

time passes before you know it~

I've been reading a lot about Japanese schools for the last project we have to for Japanese, and it's really interesting! I decided to talk about the difference between Japanese teach Japanese and people in the United States teach Japanese, as well as the way both Japanese and people from the US think about foreigners who can speak Japanese.

I've got soo much to do before this semester ends...
Japanese project, study for finals, essay for English, etc etc

I was talking about 吉本新喜劇 with a friend, and he showed me this video. soo funny.

(。>∀<。)

On Friday, I went to see Waterboys, and I loved it. I want to buy it, but I doubt it's sold here...I'll have to buy it online ^^;
It seems there's a drama for it too... I want to see that too!! There's a bunch of people from Johnny's, the story's interesting, and I think it'll be good ^^

Can you guys eat soy sauce? My friend Shun was surprised when I told him I liked soy sauce...

This weekend, I translated a bunch of Gazette songs...I love them so much. Visual lyrics are the best, lol

I really don't know what to write...I didn't do anything, lol
