四ヶ月振りにこんにちは。

ミシガンに留学している関寺汐音です。

皆さん明けましておめでとうございます。

そして、今年もよろしくお願いします！

 

 

さて、アメリカに来てから早約6月が経ちました。 

この6ヶ月それなりに考えて一歩一歩着実に進んで来たなぁと言う印象です。気づけば1月。ミシガンでは雪も降り始め気温が氷点下になって…と冬を感じています。北海道はどうですか？今年は雪が多いと聞きました。

It’s been a while to see you guys anyway. 

In here, the most important event, Christmas is over.

Last year went so fast. I was thinking that how last year there were many things that I had to learn, so I was in trouble a lot but thanks to that I came to be able to feel like I gotta do myself all the time. I can’t have this feeling if I’m not here . 

 

We went to Chicago during Christmas for see my big host family! I think most of the American spend Christmas with big family and exchange gifts each other usually in here. We played many games and had awesome food…that was awesome night. I got plenty of gifts.. I was so surprised about the number of gifts I got. I got to appreciate everyone. 

 And then we went to downtown Chicago. That was best city ever I’ve been. We went to see the bean which is most famous statue and Cheesecake Factory and shop..I decided I obviously will be back there already…haha

 

 

Let me tell a story happened recently that surprised me. 

So one day I was texting with my coordinator, and I asked her whether she can take me to school or not. And I was like “can you take me to school?”, but I didn’t see any reply from her, but I could find other ride so I was texting her like “Never mind!!!!!! My friend’s dad can pick me up so that’s fine. Thanks!!!”.

And then she replied me couple minutes later, asking “why did you get mad?” I was confused about it because I didn’t have any that kind of feeling and I had no idea why I had disappointed . After that I asked why she told me so, “Be careful to use exclamation mark.” I’ve never cared about this things and in japan. Most  people don’t care how many “!” use. It depends on how you feel y’know. 

 

Last time my report was in August so 4 months passed since I wrote and 5 months have passed since I came here. Times goes by super quickly. I have only 6 months, every time I’m hoping my English is going to improve. 

 

We will go to “Caribbean” this month! I can’t wait for this trip! One tings I really don’t want to do is packing LOL

I gotta pack again lol but imagining about trip like what we will eat, what we will do is making me so high. I’m really excited! My host family show me many things I’ve never seen. I appreciate my host family. 

I would love to repay my host family someday. 

 

Talk to you guys in 2 months!

Thank you for reading my report!
