Wuthering Heights

Now I'm writing a report about Wuthering Heights for the class called History of English Literature. Wuthering Heights is one of the greatest English novel in 19 century. The story is about a stormy love and revenge for it. Heathcliff and Catherine loves each other, but he was an orphan and doesn't have anything. Catherine always wants to be rich, so she is in anguish between her dream and love for Heathcliff. One day, a very rich gentleman asks Catherine to marry him. She is very excited about it. Heathcliff sees it and leaves Wuthering Heights that night. Catherine marries to a rich man and lives happily, but after few years, Heathcliff comes back to Wuthering Heights to revenge. It's a very stormy story.

TOEFL SCORE

I've got a TOEFL's score which I took December 15. Well, my score is...as same as before!! It's not down, but also not up. Well, I had taught it would be down, so it's OK. Though, I've wanted over 500!

To be attractive

There is the thing I'm studying hard these days. It's about how to be an attractive woman!! I know the thing I should study now is English but, it's also important to me! Especially now!! Don't ask me why!!! Anyway, I bought some famous that kinds of books and I read them. I had never read Cho-Cho's books but it's interesting to read. I think she is very smart and she surely knows men's feeling. I'll try to be more attractive next year.

December 29-2

I went to a izakaya near my house with my friend at the night on 29. We used to dating about four years ago, but are good friends now. He asked me to drink few times before, but it wasn't realized. That night, it finally came true! I like talking and spending time with him. It always fun to me. We have a lot of history. We know each other since we were six years old! Can you believe this? Anyway, it was very fun night.

December 29

I went to Sairo with my family this noon. We enjoyed having lunch there. I ordered Gyuu-suji Ishiyaki Bibimba, which was very good. My sister looked very happy when she ate a dessert. She is a big fan of sweets.


After the lunch, I went to a beauty salon to have a permanent. I've got a wavy hair now! I love it. The hairdresser who changed my hair knows me since I was five years old. He was surprised that I'm twenty years now and will have a coming of age's ceremony next month. I consulted with him about my hair style for that day. Then he arranged my hair after I got a permanent. This is the hair style he suggested me. I think it's very cute and gorgeous! I will have this hair style at the ceremony day.

Girl's Christmas

I went to karaoke again with my friend on December 25. We went there after we worked. We went to Karaoke 3 days ago but it wasn't enough for us! We bought food, alcohol, snacks, and desserts. And we enjoyed singing four hours! It was an exciting night!

I went to Fukuoka

I went to Fukuoka to take a medical examination today. I hadn't been Fukuoka for a long time. I think Fukuoka is much bigger than Kumamoto. There are a lot of fashionable goods which we can't buy in Kumamoto. It makes me exciting. Though there are also a lot of people and a lot of cars. It makes me very tired. I used to long for an urban life, but a country life seems better to me these days. I like shopping very much but I can't relax in a big city. I want to come back a silent home where I can relax everyday... Wow, my thought has completely changed. It's surprise to me. Is it because I'm older than before?

I miss him...

I had works four days in row. It was hard, and moreover, I was very sad because one of my job friend quited the job. Some people still mad at him because he quited the job without a word. I was also angry and shocked, but when I sent an email to him, he returned a message to me. I had taught he may won't return a message because he didn't answer any other calls or email. Though he returned me with long sentences. He said sorry about that he didn't say anything before he quites, and that he tried to say many times but it was hard because all people were very kind to him. I could understand that because I know him well. He is a cute guy, but is also very sissy. I said him in email, 'I know you and I can understand that, but still you should have say it before you quite. I think you are very good, charming guy, but you should be more manly.' Then I told everyone his feeling the next day. It finally ended, anyway. Some people still keep saying that he is too irresponsible. I don't deny it but I just simply miss him now. He was really cute like a small dog. I liked him a lot.

Friday Night

December 21 was the last day of school before winter vacation. I and my friend went to Jeff's bar together after school. We went to Hanamaru-udon first, as usual. Hanamaru-udon is reasonable and tastes good. We always go there before we go to Jeff's bar.
When we went to Jeff's bar, there weren't another customers. We wanted to meet Yuji-san who we met another day there, but he didn't come that day. It was little sad, but we enjoyed cocktails. We will go the bar near day, so I hope I can meet him again that time.

December 22

A very shocking thing happened in a part-time job. It was really, really shocked to me. I didn't feel to work, but I had to. So after the work, I went to karaoke with my job friend. It was late night, but we didn't care. We went to a convenience store before, and bought many food and alcohol (actually, I was the only one to drink...) We sang a lot of songs, ate a lot of food, and I drank a lot! It was the first time I got drunk.

The World According To Garp

I watched this movie at 'History of American Literature class' on Monday. I like this class very much. Professor Mukai's lecture is always very interesting to me. We watch some movies in this class and have to write reports. The movie we watched this semester is very interesting. It called 'The World According To Garp'. Garp is the main character's name in this movie. His mother Jenny made him with a injured soldier in the hospital which Jenny works as a nurse. She wanted to have a baby, but didn't want to marry to man or obey men's orders. She taught 'It is the chance!' when she saw the dying man was erecting. Then she rode on the man. She is a very eccentric woman. She has the strong, unique belief, and doesn't care what other people think about it. She just always does what she wants to do and what she thinks right. I like her character and way to live very much! She is a very attractive, wonderful woman, I think. The main story of this movie is about Garp and Jenny's life. It's not just a happy life story, there are a lot of serious, dark things in this movie as same as our real life. Though, I still think that life is wonderful after watching this movie. And I really think this is a very good movie!

The schedule

I took a reservation at a hospital in Fukuoka because I need to take a medical examination for visa. I went to a store near my house to buy tickets of bus to Fukuoka. My friend works at the store so I bought them from him. Though, I forgot to get a schedule from him that time. I realized that after I got home. I didn't want to go back the store just for it, so I asked him in an email to bring it to my house after his work. He said OK to my favor, and came by my house just few minutes ago! He's very sweet. He's been always sweet to me, I know that. Now I'm ready to go to Fukuoka. Thank you, Ma-kun!

I finished applying for VISA

I finally finished applying for visa! It was tough to me. I couldn't get clearly what the meaning of some questions, but it's OK. I finished form and got TRN, whatever. The next thing I have to do is to take a medical examination in Fukuoka. Though, before that, I have to take TOEFL tomorrow morning. I've been busy these days so I haven't had time to study for TOEFL. I hope my score won't go down, at least.

Takoyaki Party

All students who will go to Australia or New Zealand had a class of crisis management yesterday. After the class, I and the member who will go to Australia together and Brendan (Is this spell collect?) an international student from Australia went shopping to a supermarket. We bought many food and beer, and had a Takoyaki Party at the one of members place. It was the first time for me to make Takoyaki, but it was exciting. We put many food in it like cheese, kimchi, red pickled ginger and so on. It was delicious. Brendan also made a dish for us. I don't remember the name of it, but it was delicious, too. We ate and talked a lot. Brendan said his father has his own cafe in Melbourne, and his father will discount us if we tell him 'We know your son!'. We will go the cafe soon if we arrive at Melbourne.

To improve my writing

I borrowed these books from KGU's library because I want to improve my writing skill. I think my writing is better than before. It is not so difficult to write some plane sentences in English now. But still, it is difficult for me to write smooth sentences. My sentences are often starts with same subject. I don't like that. It looks like the sentences a little child writes. So I borrowed these books and learned from them. One of them is the book for English discussion but I think I can use some phrase when I write logical papers. The other book called 'Eigo de kaku kihon ga minituku hon' is very useful. I learned many things I'd wanted to. I think it will help my writing very much. If you worry your writing skill, I recommend this book!

A year-end party

We had a year-end party at the wedding hall where I 'm working. About 100 people came there. All of them are working there, but who I know were only few people. The tables were prepared for each groups, like a table for photographers, a table for concierges and so on. There were 2 tables for us, so all elder women sat at one table and all young people sat at the other one. The young people were only 3 including me, so we could use a lot of spaces. We just ate dishes earnestly.We payed 2000 yen for the party, so we tries to recover the cost. After few minutes, a karaoke contest was held. I didn't entered, but one of the elder woman who always works with me entered the contest, and she won the prize! Her performance was very amazing. She kissed one of the judge men... Anyway, it warmed up the party. And what we'd worried is the cleaning after the party. We'd taught we should wash all dishes we used the night after the party over, because that's our job. I told that some guys who always works as waiters. Then all of them said me 'I will help you. If you need any hands, just call me!' , but they walked away quickly...what a sweet guys. Fortunately, we had not to wash them the night. We were told that's OK to do that when we come there next time, so we could return to home quickly.

He always has been wanted to be a professor, but the dream is not easy to come true even if he has an excellent operation skill. He makes every endeavor to be a professor. He plays many dirty tricks.

TYPING10 FREE TIME

I like reading books very much, so when I have free time, I read some books. I like any kinds of books but I especially like novels. My favorite writer is Banana Yoshimoto. I’ve read a lot of her books. I like all of her books but I like ‘nankurunai’ the best. This is the story about a woman who had mental damages goes to Okinawa and heal her mental injuries. This is very good story. I also read in English sometime. I’ read a lot of English books in this semester. Sometime, I go out with my friends or my family. My family all loves hot springs, so we often go there. When I go out with my friends, we often go shopping (123 words)
