The last day of Study Abroad program

Last Friday is the last day of the study abroad program. I was very happy, but sad because I like my teacher Scott. He is very very good teacher.His class is always fun and interesting for me. This class started on Sepetember for study abroad students. At first, I could not keep up with the class because I already took 52 credit. And this class was added. I did not have time to do homework. I was very tired. But everybody felt tired!1 My friend helped me, so I could pass tis semester. I am very happy to have friends. We had many homework to do. We had reading, Essay, poetry and so on. Essay was so hard for me to write beause title was very difficult and we had to gather information from Internet. We had some presentation and we also make radio commercial. To prepare presentation took a lot of time, but I like presentation. Because it make other students fun and excited. My hard time was finished now, so I can prepare to go America.

Awarding Ceremony☆

　　　　Last Tuesday I had a awarding ceremony of passing certificate for study abroad students. I wore a black suit. I was very ashamed because everybody looked at me. Suit is very cold for me!! After the fifth period, we went to Multimedia Hole. There are many people. Some people were wearing dress, but most people wore a suit like me. At six o'clock, the ceremony began with president speech. IKt was about twenty minutes. Then we received certificate from president one by one. After we recieved two of teacher's speech began. It took about fifty minutes. I was very tired of hearing it. Some student were sleeping also teacher, too!! Finally, two students speech began. I was very surprised becasue their speech were very exciting and very good. After the ceremony we took many pictures.

Fortune Slip

I went to Kouhuku temple to see colored leaves with friends. We met at the Kouhukuji stationat noon. We walked to the temple. It was very tired. We took many picture of colored leaves. After we looked all around the temple, we draw a fortune slipe. I was very scared to draw a fortune slipe because one day before, I draw a fortune slip in Kiyomizu templeand I draw a ill luck. I was very shock because I have never draw a ill luck.It said bad things happen or I become ill and it is serious. I was very afraid of myself. So I decided to draw a fortune slip in the Kouhuku temple to have a revenge!! I draw a fortune slip very carefully. My heart beated. Then I recieved a fortune slip from midium. I was very shocked because it was ill luck again.... I wanted to try again, but I did not want to draw a ill luck again, so I gave up. It was very very shocking day for me.

Christmas Cake

I work up at seven o'clock and started to make Christmas cake. I made short cake with strawberry. That is the first time to make short cake. So I was very afraid if sponge did not baked well, what should I do. I did not prepare extra ingredient, so if it was not go well, it is end. So I made a cake very carefully. I looked cooking book. It said it is difficult to make sponge cake. If you did not mix well or mixed too much, sponge cake can not make well. So I mix well and put it in the oven. Then I found that sponge cake did not baked well. I felt very sad and worried. I asked my mother about the cake. Then she said it does not matter the look of cake. The taste of cake amd affection is the most important thing. So I decorate the cake and put it into the box. I ate it with my friend. It was very very delicious!!

"NAbe Party" again

During winter vacation, I had a "Nabe Party" again in my male friends house. At first, I was not member of this party because this party was planed with his classmates. I am not same class, so it was not related to me. But he saidto me," We are goiing to do 'Nabe' do you want to come to the party?" Then I answered "IF I can, I want to go to the party." Few days later, he said you can join us, so I went to the party. Other member are his classmates, but I knew all of them because three of them are same volleyball circle and one man is my male friend's friend and I sometime eat lunch with them and play with them. So I ca join this party easily. We ate too much!! But it was delicious and had fun!! We could become more friendly by this party.

Nabe Party

During winter vacation, I went to my friend's house to have a "Nabe Party". She was in the same high-school, but univrsity are different. So I have not seen her a long time. The member of "Nabe Party" are Azusa, Sumika, Megumi and me. We were all in the same high-school. Azusa and Megumi is a same university with me.

I t was very easy to make. First, we put kimchi soup in the pot and heat. Then we put meat such as pork beef, tsumire and chicken. These meats are brought by Azusa because she was working at supermarket, so she also brought a little expensive meats. It was very delicious. Then we put vegitable in the pot, such as napa cabbage, leek, beansprout, bean curd and nuddle. We ate much and our stomach were full. Finally, we put rice and egg in the pot and made rice porridge. We had a long chat over the old days. We did not have plan to go home. We wanted to talk more and hear their stories. We ate a lot of snacks and drank and talked all over night. We spend very good time and we felt we want to see again if we have a time.

High-school Class Reunion

I went to high-school class reunion during winter vacation. I was looking forward to seeing friends because I did not attend the class reunion before because of part-time job. I was rendezvous with one of my friend at the station at six o'clock. When we reached at Nara station, most people were already there. We talked much about ourselves. We　went to IZAKAYA(Bar) and sat down at the seat. THere are about twenty people. We ate food and drank a lot of alchol. When we drank alchol a lot, we were very surprised!! Because our teacher came to this class reunion. We did not know that he was coming, only organizer knew. We liked our teacher very much, so we felt very happy to meet him. We talked with him a lot. And thereare one more surprising thing!! One of our classmate was married and had a baby. We did not know that, so we were very surprised!! She showed us a picture of her baby . It was very cute. After we drank and eat, half of us went to Karaoke and sang a song. That day was very nice.

At first, I could finish job at nine thirty, but many people who worke at Yakiniku restaurant as a part-time job went back home earlier than usual because there was few customer and we did not have anything to do!! But when it became later, many customer went into our restaurant and became very very busy. I wanted to finsh job earlier because I have ot study for test. I have nine test.One of them was finished, but I have eight more left. I need more time to study for test. I can not fail my test because if I failed, I can not to go to America to study English.

Yesterday I had a part-time job at Yakiniku restaurant "ONE KARUBI". First, I did not have part-time job, but my friend asked me to change because she wanted to study for next day's test. I did not want to change because I had plan to play with my friend at friend's house. But at last, I changed and apologize to my friend. I played with my friend until the time of part-time job. I was worked at there as usual then I brought some meat to onr of the table. At the time, My eyes met by chace with the man. Then he laughed. I did not know why he laughed. Then hsi eyes fell on me often. When I through his table, he asked me to take picture using mobile phone. I was very surprised and refused. But, one of my friend took picture with him because he was a persistent. When I went to his table to clear the table, he asked me to tell my e-mail address. I was very puzzled and tried to refuse. But his friend beg me to become friend with him. So at last, I received his e-mail address. But I did not tell him my address. It was very surprising day for me!!

One day, I recieved a call from classmate of last year. I was very surprised becase she is not a good friend last year. I wonder what hapeened!! She said that she want me to listen some good story about Esthetic. I was interested in Esthetic, so I was very happy to hear. Onw week later, I went to Estheic in Umeda to hear a story of beauty. There is very clean and many people were there. I listened some good story about beauty and I thought I want to become beautiful. But it was very expensive for me to pay those money, so I gave up. The other day, I receive a phone call from Esthetic that asked me to come again. I went to Umeda again. Then I got ahand massage from a woman who worke as a part-time job. It was very good. Then I recruited to Esthetic job as a part-time job. I was very puzzled because I thought it was very hard. Two days later, I called the Esthetic to refuse it because I did not want to recruited my friend to Esthetic and spent much money.

Coming of Age Day☆

　　 January 9 is a Coming of Age Day. I woke up at 3:30a.m. and made up my face. I was very sleepy because I only slept about two hours. I went to photo studio to dressing at 5:00 a.m. At first, a woman wove my hair. It took about thirty minutes. I left her to do my hair. Then I wore " Furisode" ( long-sleeved kimono). It was very tight because the person who dressing me draw a band tight. Many people were wearing pretty "Furisode" and they looked very beautiful. Then I went back home. I was already very tired and I felt time went on late. I went to the olace where ceremony hold by my friend's car. I took many picture and talked with many people. I cherished the memory of my sweet friends. I did not attend the ceremony because my friends are in the outside. After the ceremony we went to eat lunch wearing "Furisode" but I could not eat much 　because "Furisode" was too tight. We took print club stickers at amusement arcade. When I reached the house, I was too 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 tired and slept soon.

AIDS is a very serious disease caused by a virus that makes your body unable to defend itself against infections. AIDS is the name given to the final stage of HIV infection and is characterized by multiple, life threatening illness such as weight loss, chronic diarrhea, rare cancers, pneumonia, fungal condition and infections of the brain and eye. UNAIDS and the WHO estimate that AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized in 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. AIDS has become the worst pandemic in human history. In 2005 alone, AIDS daimed an estimated 3.1 million of which more than half a million were children. HIV cannot be passed on through kissing, coughing, mosquito bites, or touching. Nine out of ten live with HIV in developing world. Sixty to seventy percent of those are in Sub-Sahaean Africa. Low national HIV infection levels in Asia. One positive among the generally worsening international situation has been a fall in HIV incidence among sex workers and their clients in Thailand and Combodia. Argentina, Brazil and Colombia have seen the largest HIV epidemics because of their large population. Brazil alone accounting for more than one-third of the people living with HIV in Latin America.
