August 4th, 5th (homestay)

Saturday, my host family’s son and his family came my house in the morning, so I had to get up early today. I got up at 7:00. Ella; my host family’s grandchild was very cute girl. She is 2 years old. She showed me her favorite some stuffed toys and how to use toy’s phone while smiling to me. She is good at jumping on music, so she done many times. Her smiling made my feeling happy. After they went back, I went to the grocery store with my host family. They bought some plants to plan their garden. I think almost all of American people plant some plants in their garden and arranged beautifully I carried their plants into their car.

Frankly speaking, I think I don’t match with my host mother because she often says to me any rude words, so I always fall down. But I decided not to worry about it. So I’ll just enjoy my homestay life. And then I’ll talk my opinion to my host mother directly if I felt difference what she said.

Sunday, I got up at 9:00, I took a shower. I thought American shampoo doesn’t match with my hair. So I think I should bring my shampoo in Japan. And then I ate breakfast my host father cooked. After eating breakfast, I studied English. For example I wrote blog’s articles, remembering words to have many vocabularies.

At lunch, we ate 2 sandwiches; I have nothing to do, so I watched TV or studied today. (254/8135 words)

August 3rd (homestay)

Today is homestay program 12th day. I prepared lunch by myself because there was nobody in the house, so I prepared the lunch by myself. I was convinced that I don’t match with host mother since I have spent with her for weeks. She said to me “I want to take another exchange student after you will be gone. Because my husband will be gone as his work and he will be busy. I’ll be sad and lonely.” I thought she takes some exchange students not to empty her heart. And she said it directly in front of me, I still be here. She always talk to me that she used to be a host family for some students. She often misstated my name. She calls me “Sakura”. Sakura was a homestay student of Kumamoto Gakuen 2 years ago. It passed 2 weeks, but she doesn't remember my name and she sometimes call me Sakura. I’m shocked. And then she often said “Every student before accepting you could speak English fluently than you.” She sometimes says “You are not polite”. But I think she is not polite either.

After going to school, we did canoeing. I have never done canoeing, so I was worried about over turning our canoe. Our members were Mami, Tomoki and I. I enjoyed canoeing. We crossed a river slowly by canoe, so I felt a pleasant breeze. There are some eagles in the distance sky. It made the atmosphere more attractive. But I got sunburn.

After doing canoe, family picnic started at 18:00. Our group skit was “Invisible bench”. We worried about whether our skit will be accepted for American or not. But it seemed to be accepted and funny. We were relieved to see their response. I thought Yukino’s group was the most of us.

After going back home, I took a nap. Eiden; our host family’s grandchild came our house, so I played with him. I was tired twice as much. (327/7254 words)

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)

Augast 1st (homestay)

Today is homestay program 10th day. I mad two waffles and ate them. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual but today is last day she can take us to there because her family is going to accept a Japanese student from Rikkyou University as host family tomorrow. So she won’t be able to take us to there. She bought us doughnuts and café late for us on our way. We were happy to eat delicious doughnuts and café late. They were yummy! I deeply appreciated her kind.


We arrived at Bethel University after we studied ESL, Emily Kennett who is Mark’s daughter gave us lecture of American wedding in America. I think American wedding style is very fun and unique for me. On America, there are more wedding on June or August than other months. It little rain in America, but Japan is more rain on June. American women keep own wedding dress generally after wedding dress and washing it.


At lunch time, we ate two Pizzas and snacks. It was very hot today, so we got sunburned a lots. And then we went to Oliver Felly History Farm. We learned the past Farmer’s lifestyle and saw a lot of animals. For instance pigs, horses, cows, and chickens and so on. We could touch with them. But anyway it was too hot day.


After coming back home, I cooked dinner with my host mother and we ate it. And then her grandchild; Eiden came to our house, but he is shy boy in front of strangers. So I couldn’t talk with him. After eating dinner, I took a bath and went to bed early because host mother took care of him all night. I’ll do my best tomorrow. (290/5829 words)

July 31th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 9th day. I studied a little bit because I got up early than always. I made two waffles and ate them by myself. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual.

Mr. Steven Kats gave us lecture of difference in Education in the morning. He had lived in Hokkaido once, so he can speak Japanese a little. He knew some Japanese things and he was very friendly. He talked about difference of boys and girls behaviors. Boys were going to go themselves, but girls were going to go cooperative than boys. So these are a phenomenon common throughout American and Japanese. For instance boys can’t put up with sitting on chairs but girls can put up with sitting on chairs and making nendo seriously. This is why girls have ability to do both things at the same time than boys. After giving a lecture, I took a picture with him.

At lunch time, today’s lunch is Chinese food. I ate Chahan, meat bowl and so on. I ate much meal, so it is difficult for me to move. I eat much meal every day, so I expect that I will gain the weight. After eating lunch, we went to Shopping at Roseulle Mall. I bought some souvenirs for my friends and family at the Wood. I’m concerned about not filling in my suitcase when I will go back Japan. I have only 1 hour 30 min, so I couldn’t buy goods enough time.

After going back home, I ate dinner with my host family. We are going to go farm tomorrow. I’M looking forward to go there.(271/5539words)

July 30th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 8th day. After getting up on time, I ate breakfast made by myself. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual.

I studied ESL and Dan Bergstorm gave us a lecture of issue “Youth Face” in the morning. He spoke slowly to make us understand well and easily, so it is easy for us to listen and understand his lecture. If there are some unknown words for us, I thought his talk was very fun and I was interested in it. For instance he talked about children fighting various pressures, obesities, educations and so on.

At lunch time, I ate like Tacos. A cup of cake and cookies were so delicious. I envied Bethel University student because they can eat like these delicious foods every day.

After eating lunch, we were given a lecture of Marriage & Family Counselor ~American Family~ and we discussed Family panels with some our host families. On discussion, we asked some question about them. For instance how did you propose or how were you proposed? Where did you go honey moon? I had a good time because I could listen some happy stories.

After going back home, I cooked dinner with my host father because my host mother doesn’t like to cook something much. And then we ate it. After eating it, we drank cocoa and watched Olympic Games because my host mother loves it. I’m worry about Japanese player while watching it. After watching Olympic, I took a bath and studied. I’ll do my best tomorrow.(256/5268 words)

July 28 and 29 (homestay)

This weekend is homestay program 6th and 7th days. I went to see a baseball game Elic’s son; Dylan’s match with my host family. He wore Orange uniform. However I don’t know baseball in detail, so I didn’t know how to see the baseball games. After seeing the baseball game, we went to Macdonald and ate ice cream. It’s so sweet and yummy. On the Sunday, my host family had anything to do, so we came back home on the way. We couldn’t see it all the game. I got sunburned because I was in outside for 2 days.(100/5012 words)

July 27th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 5th day. After eating breakfast, Susan took us to Bethel University as usual.

After listening to Joel’s talk and joke, we went to Minnesota History Center at first. We were divided into 4 groups. Our group investigated “US Dakota War of 1862” and “1943 A New Deal for Artists”. We saw a lot of displays and historical records. I learned why Dakota war happened and this cause, this time’s lifestyle and the historical background of this time. After learning them, we went to “Open House” canter. There were a lot of machines making bombs, some combat plans, some latters at the time display.

At lunch, we ate the lunch prepared by each host families. American lunch box was Sandwiches and some snacks. I thought if American saw Japanese lunch box, they would be surprised at them.

After eating lunch, we went to Minnesota capital. There were stairs as if Princess was going down, great arts and the building I have ever seen. I was surprised at them. In the third place, we went to St. Paul Cathedral. This church was very big. We took some pictures, but it was rude because they are Christen.

After coming back home, we went to Elic’s birthday party. I knew nobody, so I was nervous, but one kind man talked to me. He knew something of Japanese, so we talked about Japan. I was tired because we walked some places to see today. So I went to sleep early. (250/4912 words)

July 26th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 4th day. I ate bread on the peanut butter and a fried egg. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual. On our way, we went to coffee shop to buy breakfast for Susan and she bought coffees for us. We appreciated her kind every day.

After arriving at Bethel University, we studied ESL and we were going to be given a lecture of Mr. Paul Reasoner but he didn’t come. So we played games. We were divided into two groups and we answered one vocabulary. Our team was defeated but it was very fun for us.

 At lunch time, we ate Chinese food at dining hall. We ate them, but their sense as if we had eaten wire. But dessert is taste good. There are many foods and drinks here, whatever I want to eat and drink. So it is very useful for us. This time is the best pleasant for me.

After eating lunch, we discussed College Panel somebody who go to other university here came to our class and we discussed about some topics each other. I asked them, “How do you think Japanese young people’s fashion?” they asked, “I think Japanese young people’s fashion is too fashionable. If some American saw them, they would think they are fashion models? And then they said, “We have a stereotype of university student. For instance, we have to put on some simple T-shirts pants, sweaters and so on.” But even though they put on simple clothes, I think that they put on short pants and sleeveless dress without a brassier is too exposing their skin because I often see like this situation. My host mother also insisted “Japanese girl wear excessively short pants or skirts.” But I think American put on the same clothes. In my opinion, it is difference of American and Japanese’s sense of values about clothes.

After going back home, we ate a hamburger. It was very delicious. I’ll also do my best tomorrow. (332/2921 words)

July 25th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 3rd day. I ate toast on the peanut butter and a fried egg. As usual, Susan took us to Bethel University while listening to music we chose and like in her car. I always appreciated her kind.

We went to Mall of America. Mall of America is called the biggest but this mall was too big, so we couldn’t find them easily. We were lost some times but we could find shops we wanted to go and bought some accessories for my sister and friends at Forever21. I bought shampoo and rinse. And then I bought two clothes at H&M. We were too lost or way, so we didn’t have enough time to buy any things we want. In fact, I want to buy more things but I couldn’t that.

At lunch time, we ate at Little Tokyo, but this restaurant’s meals were Chinese meals. I think American people are thinking some parts of Chinese foods is Japanese food, so I felt very sad as I am a Japanese.
After eating lunch, we wanted to go some souvenir’s shops to buy them for my relative and enjoy there.

After coming back home, I went to buy presents for Erick’s Birthday party with my host family. I didn’t know Erick in detail but maybe my host mother has known him for years. She bought two clothes for him. And then, we ate Chinese food at Chinese restaurant near our house. I couldn’t all because this meals were too big for us.

I watched Olympic with my host mother. She likes watching Olympic every time, so I can’t watch other TV programs. And then, I did my homework. I was very tired today because we walked a lot in Mall of America. So I went to bed early. I’ll also do my best tomorrow. (306/2371 words)

July 24th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 2nd day. I ate two waffles on honey and drank Orange juice. I think I expect I will gain the weight here. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual. We listened music of ADEL. Her voice is beautiful. After arriving at school, we listened Naomi Duffy’s speech. She who lives in here since she was 19 years old is Japanese American. She talked about her experience; her life in here and so on. It seems to take 6~12 months to listening and speaking ability of English well. And then, she grew up in Japan until she was an 18 years old and she used to use Japanese, so she can’t guess like American people. When she has a conversation with them, so she sometimes doesn’t understand what they said and are thinking. Something else, it is difficult for us to get married with foreign people because we guess his or her feeling, intent. So it is important for us to compromise with each other. I think her talk makes me study; I want to refer to her experience story.

 At lunch time, we ate hamburger. It was very yummy, but inside similar to Japanese country marm cookies. These are very soft and sweet. After eating lunch, we listened speech which is the change about the feeling and body staying abroad. A lecture is Yurika’s host mother and she works at Bethel University as a hygienist. Regard to Jet lag, For instance, we will take 2~3 weeks not to feel it, so we have to care not sleeping if we wanted to take a nap in the afternoon.

 After coming back home, I cooked dinner with my host family. And then we went to Mc to eat soft cream. It is very yummy and I thought it was very strange shape for me because I have never seen like that ice cream. But it was very yummy, so I was glad to eat them. And then, we came to back home and we watched TV, I done my homework. I got sleeping, so I went to bed. I was tired English life, but I’ll do my best tomorrow too.

July 23th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 1st day. I ate bread on the peanut butter and a fried egg. It seems that the mainly American breakfast is bread, cereal, waffle, and then drink is Orange juice, coffee, milk and so on. After eating breakfast, Maki who is a student of homestay program and I waited Susan who works at Bethel University and take us to there every morning. We went to school by Susan’s car. She is very kind woman and talked friendly with us. For instance, what did you do last night? What are you going to do at university today? Moreover she has us chose her iPod’s music every times, so I enjoy listening music we like.

After we arrived at university, we went to our classroom. Our teachers, Joel, guided us some places in inside and outside of university. After done it, we done English Speaking Lecture. I think Bethel University is equipped students some useful rooms. For example, a concert hall, a big dining hall, coffee shop, broadcast room and so on.

 At lunch time, we can eat freely in a dining hall on this summer because we are homestay students, so we don’t need to pay money for lunch at university. We could chose salads bar desert, drink, and main dish, so I took too many meals. Today’s main dish is Tcos.They were all delicious meals. Yummy!! I think food in here is sweet or strong taste.

 After eating lunch, we went to Mississippi river. I studied “Huckleberry Fin” on American literature history in KGU recently. So I thought Huck had crossed this river by boat on that story. I bought a bottle of water in ship. But it was my first time to buy something in here, so I didn’t know how to pay dollars or cents. I was in a fix a little bit. I have to understand how to pay dollars and cents from now on.

 After coming back home, I cooked a backed chicken, potato and corn with mu host father. I was surprised that he said, I like cooking, so I often cook something to eat every day. I thought he is a kind and nice gentle man. My host family has pets. They are Oskar of a cat, Kngko of a dog and three chickens. But Kingko is cowardly dog against other. I want to get along with him from now on. I was tired because I done more activates, so I went to bed early. I’ll do my best tomorrow. (420/ 1700 words)

Another was “Twilight –breaking hearts-“I had been thinking “I want to watch it, but I had no time and it was a new DVD in Japan, so I couldn’t watch it. But I found in airplane, so I watched it. I was glad to watch it. While watching, I was so surprised the end of it because it came to an unexpected ending.

ERC welcome freshman camp

I’m belonging to Economic Research Circle since about February in 2012.  This circle’s member is very kind people. We went to Misato-tyou to welcome freshman camp.

36members jointed this camp. We rented three cottages and a senior member of circle: Mr. Nishigami is a DJ, so he brought the DJ machines and played it while eating BBQ. Everyone excited because tension was higher than always. Camp’s plan was gotten ready for it by 3^rd grades, so 2^nd grades made some rice balls and grilled meat on BBQ.

We danced to the music or talked something and so on, while having a good time until the morning.

The morning, we then clean up around those cottages, we went to a hot spring. I like to go a hot spring because I live alone in Kumamoto, so I don’t usually use the bath. I can stretch my legs as I possible and my feeling become relax.

I enjoyed welcome freshman camp. I thought that I went to this camp is good. If it holds again, I would like to go with everyone.

Wuthering Heights

I studied “Wuthering Heights” written by Emily Jane Bronte on history of American literature’s class. I’d like to write my impression to it

This story all begins with Heathcliff who no his relatives come to the Earnshaw, after the master take him to his house. Others and the brother Hindley treated Heathcliff as a servant, but his daughter of Catherine treated normal. Heathcliff had against them of grudge increasing. Catherine and Heathcliff gradually fell in love each other, while growing. However, she acquainted with the eldest son of the house Edgar Linton, Catherine is attracted to wealth and fame of Edgar. Heathcliff accept the suitor betrayed. And Heathcliff disappear about three years. Then he returned to be rich man. He eventually begins to take revenge against them.



When I watched this movie, I witnessed one of produce the power of love madness.　Second is Discrimination and prejudice I’d like to state 2 points



First, in regard to produce the power of love madness, I think that the characteristic of "love" is beginning to have madness was born. If we faced with my partner not going the way you want do some things, people will take the action of the love of two patterns. First, they hold themselves in the hope that spouse’s happiness and leaving the feelings of love.  Second, they love spouse try to turn around their lover's feelings, even using any hand. In this movie, it is an activity done for based on revenge them has produced this love madness. He wants to turn around the feeling of Catherine, Heathcliff of love is a pattern of the latter traced the source. However, this action involving the said afflicts many people around. I kept the love is transformed into madness straight to Catherine can’t think about the feelings of others.


Then, in regard to prejudice and discrimination, the lack of romantic relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff is discrimination and prejudice is involved. Heathcliff was in the low status socially as servants. Catherine is in a position wealthy socially, of the house Earnshaw. They had been in love with each other, she had had the eyes of prejudice-discrimination against Heathcliff, where unaware of itself Catherine had. It became an opportunity to stir up a feeling of revenge for his hurt that he was betrayed. Violence bad for Kathy daughter of Edgar and the feeling of Heaton being treated like a servant is despised by others if the normal state, and Catherine and Isabella, although it is supposed to be something difficult to overlap with the feeling was painful have been their own, it has been driven by revenge to the house so do not feel even Linton.

From that described above, it kept the love that Heathcliff is transformed into a straight to her madness led to discrimination and prejudice of Catherine.

The Last of the Mohicans

 I studied “The Last of the Mohicans” written by James Fenimoa Cooper on history of American literature’s class. I’d like to write my impression to it.

 When I watched this movie, I witnessed one of tragedy was caused by civilized society. I’d like to state 3 points. Once is Indian dairy broken by civilized society, second is the racial discrimination to suffer by European and third is the love beyond race.  

　First, I’d like to think about India dairy broken by civilized society and the racial discrimination to Indian suffered by European has civilized society countries such as French and England had invaded America to colonize there had influenced their lives. Probably I think it hadn’t the hatred births hatred, let them massacre whites, and Indians to fight each other.  As a result, they lost important family each other. These are the result to seek the more comfortable living than more necessary. In the cases, countries sought self-interest is French and England. Gentleman of Europe diplomacy is only intended for Europeans, but that is not for American local people. American local people was just sacrifice to proceed superiority and more comfortable their lives of European and they weren’t interested in their lives of American local people.

 On this movie, captain Munro didn’t listen what Hawkeye said, he carried out only to be involved in the interest of the United Kingdom. The representative must be considered the living environment of soldiers and nation to support their lives. However he thought only short-term profits. So he didn’t have capacity to be the representative. These things also included that the problem of racial discrimination.

 If own subordinate captain Munro couldn’t be interested in it. This attitude is based on the self-interest and others sacrifice. They were immersed in the sense of own cultural superiority because they played a civilization. However why say such a thing on what grounds? While there are difference skin color of mankind, which is the same person have no superiority or inferiority. Therefore, a captain Munro couldn’t have capacity to attitude for them.

 At the end, I’d like to think about the beauty of love beyond the race. Hawkeye who was orphan of the pioneers of the British and Cola who was British peeress were different state were felt in love each other. Love is a wonderful thing and can even fall in love each other difference of race like this. Bravely which Hawkeye has pried of the Mohicans and defend an important woman testified to the beauty of love beyond the race.

 To summarize the results have been thinking of these, the racial discrimination is born from an idea of own cultural superiority, the hated is born to hate, and they leaves a more or less pain to both. However, love is the feelings of universal more than a race. ( 472/8115 words)

Pygmalion

 I studied “Pygmalion” written by George Bernard show, so I would like to write its impression.
  Higgins, a professor of phonetics who studies the dialect runs into Eliza selling flower on the downtown. Then, he betided on Eliza can be excellent Lady with his friend. He was charming without knowing it through training of phonetics.

 I watched this movie, I would like to state 2 points. One is the use of different words by the difference in social standing. Another is the influence of language in identity. 

 First, I would like to state the former. This had been affected by the background of the era. In this era, the ruling classes like that nobles and churchman had done a political marriage or politics in the international society over the country. So they can use the correct way of speaking to do good administration. However, the lower classes hadn’t had a chance to join their politics. So their language was affected by their lifestyle and characteristic of area. This is why, it’s no use causing by the way of speaking in each classes.

 Next, I would like to state the influence of language in identity. Are people who can use the way of the correct pronunciation, human greater and more excellent? Or, are people who can’t use it, inferior to others. In this movie, was she able to be great Lady to pronounce the correct way of language? I don’t think so. Making personality of Eliza is rather talking by using word that she can’t pronounce very well and was affected by own emotion than she uses word that she was instilled formal language and behave. If everyone behave formal and use perfect pronunciation word, they have only one identity and emotion.

 This is why, I think that people can’t express the genuine identity if they would use formal language and behave or became a perfect Lady. (316/6752 words)
