wdw

Hello! Long time no see. How was your weekend? Did you go somewhere with your friends or family?
We almost all 12th graders have gone to Walt Disney World in Florida! It was second time to go there to me but it’s my first trip without my family but only friends. It was quite busy week and at the day right after the spring break everyone’s face looks terrible with tiring.
Florida’s weather was extremely excellent except Monday the first day of the trip. Most boys got nice sun tens or their faces, arms, backs and shoulders. These sun tens still annoy us especially when we get in the beds. After skin’s color changed to red, it is too itchy to let you sleep and then after the redness have gone, you can not sleep because the very thin skin will rip off from your shoulders or back. I think that is one of the reasons we look so tired in this week.
And this Monday and Tuesday were unbelievably hot as same as Florida. All Keio students were amazed like they thought the spring has been skipped and hot summer has come to Keio. In Keio, the cherry blossom is blossoming but it did not fit to those hot weathers.
Walt Disney World has many huge sections in itself such as Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Blizzard Beach, Hollywood Studio, Typhoon Lagoon or Downtown Disney. I have gone to these all places and my favorite one is Blizzard Beach. Blizzard Beach is a huge outside pool which is designed as like snowcapped mountain. It was quite COOL and there is extremely high water slider. It is higher than the Tower of Tellar. I have ridden it and it was so fun! You should try it when you get there!

Next time I will write a blog I might show you more details about the Florida Trip and also Walt Disney World. So see you soon. Have a good day!

Way to Sleep

Hello good morning everybody. Today is April 8, 2009. Today’s weather is cloudy.

April is very busy month for us all keio students. At Saturday of next week, we have a cultural festival which is called Sho-Fu-Sai and in the night right before that we have Zen-Ya-Sai which is the biggest event in this school. Most students except athlete who have season sports are now working on the preparation for these Zen-Ya-Sai and Sho-Fu-Sai things. Someone have musical bands for the performances on these stages, someone like me might have dance performances there or many people such as cultural festival committee are working on everyday’s after school. The third quarter’s exams were gone about 2 weeks ago so we might not care about the study things so much but because of these things we are very busy and I could not sleep well all nights.

Then here is my suggestion for everybody who could not sleep well at night and worry about that. I have just one way to get sleep faster. It is very easy and useful.

Do you want to know that?


Ok, I can tell you about that. At first you got just changed in pajamas and if you got glasses, after you took it off you go to your bed then. You take the blankets on your body, close your eyes and JUST COUNT THE NUMBER OF SHEEPS.

Is it easy for you?

I don’t know whether people in the United States know this or not but almost all Japanese must have tried it before.

If you count the number like “1 sheep and 2 sheep and 3 sheep and 4 sheep and. . . . . . .,” you might get over hundred of them. However don’t worry about that. JUST KEEP ON GONING. Even if you get thousands of them, KEEP GOING. You might be tired and slept at 294,434,436,782,668, 434. But this way to sleep has one problem.

You will see only the dreams of sheep.

But please try it just once. It won’t kill you.

See you soon.

yeah

Good morning Keio. Today is April 1st. Today’s weather is sunny and it seems like the spring coming quite soon.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Today I want to write about my memory with a friend when I was 8th grader in Japan.
. . . . . . . . . . .
About 4 years ago, I was just 15 years old and still lived in Tokyo, Japan. I was not very happy with my school life in the way I think the most people feel at their childhood. I have woken up at 7 o’clock every morning and got changed in my school uniform and took a breakfast. Then I have run into to the train to my school for about an hour. There is nothing special in each day. I thought everybody especially students were always looking for something they could focus on or interested in but I did not have anything.
Only thing I had have at that time is a friend named Makoto. She is a student of the school where it is very near by my school and we use same train station every morning. The only reason I used to go to the school everyday without any screaming is just her. She was the only one pleasant in my school life. She was a very active girl and liked many kinds of sports but she was not in any sports clubs. This is because she had a not very serious problem with her left leg but she cures that her mother would worry about her too much if she plays sports. Therefore we spent our time together every after school days. We sometimes went to each other’s house to play but we used to go to her school building’s top. There were usually nobody but very happy sunshine was looked down to us. We talked many things such as classes in our school, friends, parents, families or futures. I do not remember all of them nowadays but it was very fun to me. There is nothing special between her and me. I didn’t much study but I think it is like the way everyone used to do.
One day I went to school as usual Makoto was not coming there. I felt little strange but I went back to my house. Next day, and then the day after next day, she did not appear in front of me. About 4 days later Makoto calls me and she said she was going to leave Tokyo due to her father’s job in a week. I think I was very suprised and unhappy with that but I could not say anything. I was just standing there and look up the grate sky covering all over me. This is my first time I have ever seen my tears.




Ok, today is April 1, 2009. So it might be NOT true, but do not worry about it because it does not matter.

See you
