Cheese cake factory.

Lei is crazy about an American show called the Big Bang Theory. She really wanted to go to the cheese cake factory because a character in the drama works at the restaurant. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it was so nice!

The whole foods market.

I went to the whole foods market and bought a lot of food. I ate curry for lunch and it was delicious!

The gym.

I enjoyed playing volleyball, but my friend got a bruise on her wrist.

I went to THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART.

Instead of class, my classmates, teachers and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I sat between Alex Po and Mikhail on the bus. I was so happy because they are my ideal. I had pancakes and yoghurt for breakfast,but I ate six sandwichhes on the bus!!  Alex Po and someone who did not come did not eat the sandwiches, so I ate theirs. Anyway, I will go on a diet starting tomorrow. The Metropolitan Museum is big. I walked and walked. I thought that if I came here alone, I would be lost. When I entered Japanese Art section, I felt comfortable. I really wanted to sit on Tatami mat. When I see a lot of things, I  feel a little dizzy.  There are a lot of things in the museum, so I consequently felt dizzy. My head is still throbbing now.

I played many sports!

I went to the recreation center. First,  Alex Po and I played basketball. Second, Lei joined us and we played racquetball. Although it was the first time for me to play racquetball, I played well!! maybe haha.
Third, we played badminton. Forth, Alex Po and I went to the gymnasium, and we used a lot of machines to develop our muscles. When I went to the gym alone, I walked only thirty minutes-it seemed like many hours to me. While one hour exercising with Alex Po, felt like a moment. She is so nice!! She explained to me how to use the machines. I do not need my personal trainer because she can be  my personal trainer. I enjoyed playing sports, though I have muscular pain. Ouch!

I joined yoga and pirates blend class.

I went to the gym with Rica, and we took a yoga and pirates blend class. It was really hard, but I want to take the class again. The teacher spoke English so fast that I could not understand what she said. I just watched and copied the movements of the teacher. I think that perhaps she used some terminology like cobra. After, we met Alex Po, and she joined us playing ping-pong and volleyball together. I had a great time with you!!
I went to a office to check my ID card. Against all expectations, it turned out that I have a lot of money in my card! I went to Hollywood to buy something to eat, but I ate too much cheese. As a result, I am full now. I do not want to see cheese for a while.

It is fun to talk with my friends!

I went to the bathroom to take a shower, but I ran into my friends in the bathroom. We talked about how to date a man who has a car. We practiced the beginning of the conversation. For example, 'Hello, how are you? My name is ----. nice to meet you. By the way, do you have a car?' We laughed and we talked about some relationships between men and women. I listened to one of my friends' responses, and it turned out that she gets jealous easily. However, I hope that she will  get a American boyfriend who has a car in the near future!!

I felt like an actress in a movie!

I walked around on my campus with my roommate. We enterd a building and we went to a room. We stayed there for a while, but suddenly we heard that someone cme into the building! We were surprised and ran away from the building. While running, my roommate and I laughed a lot, but her eyes were watery. She said that she was really afraid of someone. Although I cannot explain this feeling clearly, I felt like I was in a movie! I will never be able to forget what happened today.

I met Monkton again!!
The owner told me that Monkton likes me! I fed him, and I was happy♪♪

I passed the forest.

I stayed in my dorm, and tried to write a blog entry. I read my blog and suddenly realized that I wrote that  I planned to take a walk on suturday!! Then, I walked for 30 minutes. I was scared to walk through the forest, but my curiosity got the better of me. I walked alone and there were two paths. I knew that one of the ways leads to Hillwood building, but I did not know the other way. I chose to pass the way which I did not know and found a large parking lot. I thought that this parking lot perhaps leads to the recreation center. I ran the parking lot. Now I know my campus much better!

I went to the shopping mall.

I went to the city bank and renewed my account. After that, I went to the shopping mall with my friends.
I bought many clothes and some groceries. However, I spent over $200!! Moreover, we could not eat dinner, because we were caught up in shopping. I ate some snacks for dinner. Anyway, shopping with my friends was fun!!! I want to go shopping with my friends again.

I went to the gym.

I went to the gym, and I got my personal trainer. I used the walking machine, and I walked 30 minutes!! I wanted to know my weight, but I had never seen the type of scale they have at the gym and I did not know how to use it. The staff told me that I can know my weight in pounds. Finally, I gave up using the scale, because  I cannot convert pounds into kilograms. I burned 300 calories up, but I ate a Hamburger.

My plans for this weekend.

   I will go to Hicksvill on Friday. I have to go to the city bank, because I want to finish opening my account . My account is temporary and not official account, because I did not bring some documents when I went to the city bank previously. Afterwards, I will go to target  to buy something to eat like ramen.
  On Saturday, I will take a walk to lose some weight.
  I will hit the books on sunday. I really want to pass the final exam, and I want to enter the graduate university.

The best meal I have had in the USA.

   I went to Glen Cove, and I ate American sushi. I am Japanese, but I did not know American sushi like Alaska roll or Boston roll. I asked the waitress what Alaska and Boston rolls are. She said that Alaska roll is salmon with avocado, and Boston roll is shrimp with avocado and lettuce. Then, I ordered Alaska roll and yellowtail roll. They were delicious!! I want to introduce these sushi variations to Japan.

I strolled on the campus.

 I strolled my campus alone. I met a man and a horse. I talked to him, and I touched the horse. The horse name is Monkton, and he is 5 years old. He is very big!! But he is still growing.
   I had a very good day today, because I talked a lot with my classmates.

I have a diligent roommate.

My roommate goes to the library to study English every day. I really respect her, because I do not want to study every day. However, I love her, and I am her stalker, so I have to go to the library every day. I just sit next to her, and I do my homework. Even if I finish my homework, I have to stay at the library to stay with her, so I usually read the New York Times. I was a lazy student when I was in Japan, but I am a diligent student now. She asks me whether or not I am going to go to the library after class, and I must say yes. I think that it is good for me to have a diligent friend like her.

My roommate and I went on a date!!

   My roommate and I went to a mansion to take pictures. Here are the photos!
Afterwards, we went to a church. I played the piano. My roommate really loved my music, so I taught her how to play the piano. She did not know anything about piano. She did not know where C or F is. However, I was surprised at her talent, because she was able to  understand what I told her and she was able to play the music after a short time.
Before I came to America, I often wanted to quit learning the piano. I thought that playing the piano was boring and stressful, but now I can help my roommate to play the piano. It is the first time that I felt glad that I can play the piano.

I explored my campus.

   I took a lot of pictures, because my university has pretty buildings and beautiful nature.
When I was taking a picture of the house, bees followed me!!!!! I was scared!!!!!

The beach.

   I met two Chinese girls and stayed at their house yesterday. They were kind. I watched American dramas on the internet. Then, I shared a bed with my roommate and enjoyed talking with my friends.
  
The ocean and the beach were beautiful. I took many pictures. However, there were many insects, so I  spent some time riding on a swing to whisk flies away.

I saw 'Sister Act'!

   I went to the Broadway to see 'Sister Act'. It was amazing!
 I wish I could sing songs like them.
