winter vacation

I am going to write about my winter vacation. I took winter vacation about two weeks. I did not have all classes while the winter vacation, so I was very happy. However, I was very busy because of my part-time job. I have a part-time job at a cake shop. Cake shops are very, very busy while Christmas season. Of course, I could not take off. I had to work hard. In December 23 and 24, I worked about 13 hours a day. I kept standing while my part-time job. I was very tired, but I like to service for customers. I felt a sense of achievement after my part-time job finished. By the way, I hung out with my friends when I had no part-time job. One day, I went to hotel Nikko to eat lunch with my best friends. We ate Chinese food for example, fukahire, ebichiri, Chinese fried rice and so on. These were all delicious. We enjoyed eating and talking. Also I hung out with other my friends and went to many places. I was busy in this winter vacation, because I had a lot of things to do that I wanted. However, I felt a sense of fulfillment in the winter vacation. I really enjoyed this winter vacation!

How I study English

I like to study English. I think that it is important to　learn words. The way to learn words is by repetition. I usually use power words to learn words. Also, I use a book. The book's title is "rapid reading English words". I bought the book when I was a high school student, because my English teacher recommended me the book. If I knew the meaning of words, I can understand rough content of a passage. So, I think learning words is the most important thing.

My university life

I am going to introduce my university life. I am enjoying my university life very much. Each and every class that I take is very interesting for me. After class is over, I have a part-time job. When I have a free time after school, I often hang out with my friends. So my university life has been full.

The classes that I take are very interesting. I was interested in English and different cultures during my high school days. I had a forte for English and I studied English harder. So I decided to enter the Department of Britain and America at KGU. In the classes, I can learn English and different cultures more deeply than when I was a high school student. I sometime feel hard because I have to do some assignments. However, I feel pleasure when I found new findings. So I like the classes.

I have a part-time job at a cake shop. The shop’s name is Takarabune. Sometime, my friends say that its name looks like a bar’s name. I think so too. I work almost three times a week. After class is over, I go to the shop as soon as possible. When I just began the part-time job, I have to memorize a lot of things for example, the prices of cakes, the names of cakes, how to use register and so on. It was very hard for me. So I wanted to leave the part-time job before. However, I am accustomed to the job and the shop’s members are getting along very nicely with each other. We sometimes go drinking together. We are the different ages, but we can talk with various things. I like my coworkers very much.

When I have no part-time job, I often hang out with my friends. I like to go shopping, karaoke center and drinking. I can reduce stress to go shopping. Especially, I like to buy clothes. So I sometime spend too much money for clothes. I can also reduce stress to go karaoke center. My karaoke specialties are Ayumi Hamasaki’s songs. Also, I like to go drinking, because I like alcoholic drink. I go drinking with my same high school friends and my coworkers. We enjoy talking many things, because we cannot meet so often. I like to hang out with my friends for a change of air.

I enjoy my university life. I have a lot of things to do. If I had too much free time, I would feel boredom. So it is convenience for me to have many things to do. I feel a sense of fulfillment every day. Until I graduate from KGU, I want to study more harder than now to realize my dream.

Today's diary

Today, I took speaking class and kokusaisyakaitonihon class.

In the speaking class, we talked about our hobbies. My hobby is to go shopping. I often go shopping in town. I like to go shopping by oneself because I do not need to attntive to my friends. I always take a lot of time to choose which clothes I will buy. When I am puzzled about which to choose, I talk to shop staffs because I am a very indecisive person. I also like to hang out with my friends. My friends and I often go karaoke center. We enjoy singing many kinds of songs. Once, we spent nine hours in karaoke center. I was very tired then.

After school, Ayumi and I went to town. First, we went to NEWS and PARCO to buy clothes. I wanted to buy short pants but there were no short pants that I like. So I did not buy anything. Next, we met my friends. We had a dinner together. They are Denpa technical college students. I heard about their school life. Their school is different from general high school.

I enjoyed it very much. I want to hang out them again.
