It was really rainy and miserable for the whole week. But I actually had fun. Being my crazy self, I played in the rain with my other crazy friends for half an hour. People were staring at us and commenting on how stupid we are. But guess what? I wasn't sick the next day, and that event became one of those memorable college days :)

みんなさん　みて！わたしはせんしゅうにハワイへいきました。わたしのともだちはわたしのしゃしんたくさんをとりました。


Just kidding.　わたしはハワイのパーティへいきました。It was actually a fund-raising dinner for a medical relief team to Laos. I helped the organization out by cleaning up the restaurant and making the party more fun (^_^') だからわたしはハワイのダンスをべんきょうしました。

After a brief fall break, I had a test/midterm everyday this week. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I did well but not as well as I hoped. I always make small mistakes sporadically in the tests that hurt myself in the end. But I'm glad that midterm is finally over, and I can start afresh again. Within the first half of fall term, I have gained a lot of experiences about college and more importantly I gained more confidence about myself. I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend

Today is Thursday, but I have so many stuff to do before Fall Break begins. Japanese is getting more difficult as ever. I found it very interesting that Japanese language rarely uses the native Japanese counting words except for the days, while employ Chinese loan counting words for almost everything else. And after reading and hearing about onsen, I really want to go there, especially now when I have all these midterms and tests!
