Emma

I read Emma for English Book Report. It was very interesting story.

First, my teacher, my friends and me thought it was a little difficult story to read. And once I saw a review that said "there are too many characters." So, I read it, checking the characters. With the checking sheet, it was not so difficult story.

It is love story. Not a serious but a heartwarming story. Emma is beautiful, clever, rich girl. And she like matchmaking. She makes friends with Harriet, a poor girl with no family. Emma likes her very much. And thought she must find a good man for Harriet to marry. She always thought who is the man for Harriet. But it not go well. At last they love a same man. But it settled somehow.

I also watched the movie. But it was more difficult because I didn't checked the characters. Anyway, their English was very elegant especially Emma. So beautiful. Is it acting?

Before tests

I had a part-time job. But I had to study more. I should have asked a day off.

Basic English Ⅱ

We had this class in the latter term. Because we saw the other friends working so hard in the first semester, I think we are really lucky. We are not so busy in the second semester. But Mr. Tomei gave us many homework. To make PowerPoint, we had to make time. The timetable of F&H students and EER students are different. So it has a little difficulty. But except for it, most lectures were not bad. The very I need is fight or spirit. my second semester was a little loose.

So sleepy

Recently, I am sooooo sleepy. Why so sleepy?? I want to listen all lectures seriously, but I cannot keep my eyes open. Why? No matter how much hours I sleep, I always sleepy. It' very strange.

Alfred the Curious

Alfred is a page of Lord Edward. He is so curious. Once there was the war. He was so curious into the war. He thought being a page was boring. And he thought he could something for Lord Edward. At last, he could join the army. He had something good sense, so he could help Load Edward. And They won! At the victory festival, Load Edward said "you may be great knight some day." Alfred felt so proud.

Alfred is only curious boy. But he could do good work. I like such kind of boy's adventure.

pain on my neck

I had a pain from the day I hit my head. My neck had a terrible muscle pain. Yesterday, my job was a little hard because of the pain. So I decided to go to a hospital or a clinic. First, I took some X-rays of the neck. Then saw a doctor. He said some joke. I felt relaxed. And the say "You have bad posture because of the pain." I thought I always had bad posture. But the doctor said bad posture made the muscle tired, so I should kept good posture.
I got some medicines and compresses. Now my neck become better.

Ouch!!

I went to a skating rink for our sports class. I aimed not to fall down. The first class, I had in last week, was not bad. I really enjoyed it. But today, at last, I fell down;( And I hit my head on the ice!! I never had such a pain for a few years. But I only laughet, and said. I couldn' t say any thing more than "Painful..." or "All right." Anyway, I never do such a fool thing like tag!

Our holiday ended, and...

We have test!! Oh, no... I didn't study in the holiday. Because I worked too much. I have two jobs. December was so busy. And January is too. Maybe, Murch will be easy.

Looking for Amelia

Emily and her family move into their new house to discover that it's filled
with secrets. A doll found in the cellar and a diary with only six entries
provide the only clues for Emily and her brother to piece together the
mystery.
As Emily becomes attached to the doll, a surprise visiter comes to
claim what is
rightfully hers.

I love this story! And I'm really sure that I like this kind of mystery. I told you my favorite storys is Nancy Drew series. Another my favorite storys is Judy Bolton series. This story is semiler to Judy's. Those stories made me much exciting! So I want to read this kind of storys much more!!

The last day of winter vacation

It's the last day of the winter vacation. What did you do today? I went to part-time job. I wanted to end my job at 3:00 pm. But they looked so hard to finish their work. So I couldn't say "I want to go home." In the end, I did some work, then said to the head staff. It was already 4:20pm. The head staff were very sorry about it. But It was me that feel so sorry.

Anyway, my winter vacation was a little bussy. I worked too hard. When February have come, I want to take enough rest.

Kuromame

I tryed to make osech again. It is Kuromame. I'm very confident. I could make it very nice. It was my first time to cook kuromame. But I have cooked azuki. Maybe, it made it succeeded. I want to try more:)

Walnuts

I tryed to make Osech of walnuts. I don'nt know the name. But I have eaten before. It is like Tazukuri. Tazukuri is made of small fish. This made of walnuts. The walnuts covered with sugar syrup with sesames. It is very sweet and hard to chew. This walnuts had become so hard. Because the sugar syrup became hard like candy. I want to try again and the syrup won't be a candy.

A Happy New Year !!!

How was your 2006 !? Where it was good or not, 2007 will be a happy year!!

By the way, did you have OSECHI!? It's special New Year's food :) I think, some families made it by them selves, and others ordered it from a restaurant, or did both. Our families did both. I went to my grandma's house. Grandma lives with my aunt and her husband. Today, my cousins and her husband also came. My aunt ordered special food for today. It was china style food. And one of my cousin made 3boxes of Osechi. My mother made Kurikinton and Namasu and Nimame. And I made Yuzu Jelly. I wanted to make other special food in reality, but I had little time to prepare it. However, my families said it was nice. So I'm happy.

The dishes were all very nice! I love Osechi! :9 My old cousin Boss also waited his special food.(the last Photo)
