Hello, how are you guys doing today? It’s March 23, 2009. Today’s weather is sunny. The little warm wind seems to show the ending of the winter and coming of next spring at the same time. We are all glad to have coming of spring and all I want to do now is going to school with only t-shirt and a short pant. Especially in Japan, every spring is not only time to start new things but also time to end or farewells. In Japan all schools would start in the first term of April and it’s also the time new working people who had just graduated last school year.
However starting new things sometimes means you have to give up some things you already got.
You might leave or say goodbye to your best friends at graduations or you might have to leave your family when you start to work or marry someone.
We always have to remember it and keep it in our minds even when you feel happy with you situations.

HE'S BACK!
Hello, how are you doing today? It is now midnight at 0 o’clock. Why I am still staying awake tonight is just to doing my BLOOOOOG! It is due on just today. Yeah.
I am so happy that Mr. Akimoto has came back to this school from Japan. He had something his parents’ problems in Japan so he had left this school for about 2 weeks. I do not know what kind of problem with his family, but I was so much happy that he has coming back.
Don’t you know why?
We all are looking for the next Target Trip!
On every weekend, Mr. Akimoto takes us to White Plains by his big car. We don’t need to call a taxi and we don’t need to waste our time of Friday night.
We will have mid term exam in next week so we have to get a lot of food, drink and snacks!
We are very welcoming that you give us some food!
See you and good night!

hard hard hard and then easy
Hello, how are you doing today? It is March 11, 2009. Today’s weather is cloudy and I do not know about today’s lunch and it’s Wednesday.
I am just feeling this week is a quite busy one because many numbers of homework had been assigned. There are Kanji Test, English Reading test, English vocabulary print, English reading print, Japanese History’s class report, Economic Projects, quiz and its presentations. I have never seen this much of things to do is all in ONE WEEK. I thought it was impossible that all these things to be done well, now though, about the half of them have been done. The biggest thing that left and I need to get done is Economy class’s projects. Everyone was given one or two partners for researching about the assigned countries’ all economic issues. I have a partner with me and we got Australia for its projects. We have to compare that country and Japan with a lot of information or data that you should find on the internet or Keio library and then we are required to make 2 to 3 posters which has visual data or graph on them. And then after we had a presentation of it, we have to hand all information in. Do you think it might be very hard projects? If you do think so, you are exactly right. We spent one whole week for this. Can you imagine that? Let me repeat. I have never seen this much of homework are required in one week!
This week might be quite hard, next week would not because a week before the exam and exam week might be really hard. But it is OK to me. Do you ask me why? This is just because, after 3rd quarter’s exam were done, we have several events that must be a lot of fun!! We are all looking for Sho-Fu-Sai the Keio Cultural Festival and Taiku-Sai the sports festival Florida trip and the graduation party. Both Sho-Fu-Sai and Florida Trip must be the biggest events in this year! I can not wait until April! Let's go to Florida now!
see you next time! 359

PANTS
“Good morning Keio. How are you guys doing today? It is March 4, 2009 and today’s weather is sunny. For today’s lunch, we have chicken something….I do not know any details.”
All our school days are always started with this boring announcement. We are already used to this so some students might be feeling comfortable of it. Actually I am not complaining, I am OK with this because this is what this school Keio Academy of New York should be looked like. I like it.
As through about three years here, I think this school is not a kind of normal or common one. Of course this school has dormitory life system so obviously it is different from other school in not only Japan but also the United States. However I think there are still some big differences between this school and other dormitory schools. In the other words, these differences are good mood with a great deal of individuality for this school. Let me show you some examples.
As usual days, when we go to school, we can wear our own ordinary clothes. Everyone wears different style or colors of clothes everyday especially the girls so it is very good and interesting for us and of course me. However on Wednesday we are required to be worn in Keio school uniforms. We have to wear same socks, same colored plants and jackets, same much long ties and black leather shoes. If you forgot even just one of them, you might get a BVS which is a penalty sheets and called Behavior Violation Slip and you should stay in the school for extra study after school of that day. I think we do not need to wear Keio Uniform once a week without any reasons. How do you feel about this?
As one more thing everybody might think it is strange rule is that we are not allowed to wear any jeans to come to school. Nowadays how many people dose wear jeans a single day? Who think all jeans are dirty and it does not fit to study? Some kind of jeans pants which has damaged like design on it or much paint on it might be not fit for school days. However this problem would be very easily solved if the teachers who noticed it and felt not happy with that warn to those students. Is that so hard or boring jobs? I do not think so.
There are much more problems not only these two. Some adults or Keio faculties teachers might feel it as not big issues but these things are very serious problems because it will not be solved if there is no help from the adults or Keio faculties teachers. We strongly hope these little problem will be solved and not only our school days but also dormitory life will be more better than now. Let’s do something we can!
Most important thing is to start something to do or say to do that.

Watch!
Hello! Long time no see, how was your weekends? My weekend was pretty nice, but unfortunately on Sunday it snowed a lot so we could not go out with my best friends…. I was so sad about that. However on the other hand we could go to New York City on last Saturday. I enjoyed food, shopping and also time in through the trains to New York (we had all slept in the trains to white plains to New York.) I got a new watch, earring and shoes in SOHO. The watch I bought is a kind of pop design, so I had liked it so much. These three items I got were all on special sale and they were less than half of the original prices!!!!!! Can you imagine of this?? I was so happy about them but now I worrying how much money left in my hand…..
But, I am OK because it was fun. See you next time!
