August 2st (homestay)

Today is homestay program 11st day. I also cooked two waffles and ate it. Rikyou University students participated in this homestay program from today, so it is different the way to allocate a car today. We went to Bethel University with contain me and Rikkyou University students. We felt awkward each other at first, but we got along with each other gradually. We were overwhelmed them because their numbers were twice than us. However I think I will get along with them gradually.

In the morning, Joel explained us about canoe after we studied ESL. I thought it is difficult for me to get into canoe because I can’t keep my balance so I might fall into Lake.

At lunch time, I ate pasta on bacon and cream sauce in the dining hall as usual. I feel cold inside today, so I drank two cups of hot coffee.

After eating lunch, we played volley ball. I felt too hot outside, so I and some friends of mine took a break under the tree. A friend of mine Maki, she is good at dancing, so we were taught how to dance by her and we danced NMB48’s song. Our dance is as if just like kindergartener’s dancing. It was very fun.

After playing volleyball, we did Education panel Discussion. For instance Charter school, Private school and Public school and so on. Especially I was interested in Home school system in America because Japan doesn't have Home school system. Katie talked about it; she said Home school is small people or one on one. So it seems that has some problems. For instance, it is difficult to make friends, problems of parents and child relationship. But I envied points. I thought if this system will be received into Japanese Education, some people who are bullied. It might be useful for them to spend freely and easily.

Outside was too hot and Inside was cold for me today, so I’ll take care of not feeling bad. I’d like to do my best tomorrow. (340/6927 words)
