Second First Post






I bought a new my own laptop! I tried to buy it with cash, but I realized it was hard for me to buy new one until September ends. In my plan, I could buy it within September. But until September ends, I have to finish the report on American culture, which is the assignment of this AGU program in Maryland. This means, I can't do part-time job everyday as I did in August. My original plan collapsed! So, I changed my plan and bought a new laptop on the installment plan. This post is the first post from my new laptop.


And from this summer vacation, I started to study for TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), because I want to study in America! Today, I tried to register for a test at Aoyama Gakuin University, but I couldn't register. It seemed already full! I was really disappointed. I hope for someone to cancel registration.


......Still, I can't find my wallet:-( I almost give up the wallet.

My Wallet!!

On August 21st, I lost my wallet. :-( When I rode on the train, I tried to take my wallet from a rear pocket, but there wasn’t my wallet! I had no idea where my wallet was and why my wallet had been lost. Still I don’t know where it is. In the wallet, there were many important cards such as cash card, point cards, student identification card of Aoyama Gakuin, and a coin which Joe gave me. I’m really disappointed with losing my important things. I’m sorry, Joe. I hope my wallet will be found!!


I want to write comments and respond to email more quickly, but it’s hard for me now, for I don’t have my own PC. I want my own PC, so I’m doing part-time job almost everyday all day long to buy my own PC (laptop). I work on even the nightshift. As some know, my part-time job is security guard. Now, definitely, I work not for the security, but for the future laptop! =) I’ll let you know when I get laptop.

Hey, Mike, school will start back on September 22nd!

I’ll Be Back

I’ve eaten ramen for four days in a row. Ramen is my favorite Japanese food. I also like white rice. When I ate American food, I really missed Japanese food. But now, I missed American food, everything in America!! I want to go back to Maryland. I really miss you all. The past two weeks had gone so fast. It was like a dream. Thank you for giving me such a special experience. This program sets me off to work hard to study abroad. I’ll study hard and be back to America. I want to say thank you to Heather, Nina, Mike, Joe, Nikki, and AGU members.
I’ll keep blogging as long as something important happens.

Final DC

On Tuesday, we went to DC again. Sadly, this was the last time to go to DC in this program. First, we went to the Capitol Building. This building was on an alert. So, we were done security check many times. As you can see from this picture, I sat down on some congressman’s big chair. I felt I was in the center of DC! But real center of DC was in other place. We stood on the center point and felt that we were at the center of DC!! Then we walked the inside of the Capitol Building. There were a lot of statues of heroes and pictures. After that, we went to see the White House. I wanted to go into the White House! Then we went back to College Park, and ate delicious dinner. Yesterday, as until now, was gone in a flash….

Happy Time

Yesterday, we were invited to Nikki’s house. Her house was very big and like an amusement park. We ate really delicious hamburgers and hotdogs which Nikki’s father cooked. And Nikki’s mother cooked white corn, it was also very nice. Then we played games such as Wii, billiards, pinball, basketball. All of the games were exciting!! Nikki’s house was like an amusement park. The happy time had gone so fast. Through the experiences, we all could realize American culture keenly. Thank you Nikki and her family!!

morning

In the morning, Senpai and Saaya and I ran with Nikki. We ran around beautiful lake. Senpai was not tough.

Wonderful Day!!



The day, 8, August, was like a dreamy day! In the morning, we took the bus to Baltimore and drop in American Visionary Art Museum. The art drawn by OCD person was really interesting. Then we ate lunch at INNER HARBOR where many Otaku gathered to attend Otacon. We took pictures with some of them. Then we rode on Water Taxi and enjoyed pedal boating. The pedal boating was really hard but enjoyable! After that, we played card games and headed for baseball stadium. It was one of my dreams to watch major league baseball game. I was really excited to watch real major baseball game!!! So, I took so many pictures. This game is never forgettable. I wanted to stay there forever!! We were really tired, so most of us fell asleep in the bus. This is the most memorable day!!
