BR1 01-STRANGER THAN FICTION

The chicken killed her.(P31)

  There are a lot of funny stories in this book.  These stories are classified 4 parts loosely, incidents in life, Accidents, Doing wrong and Living and Dying. Each story is very short. That's why you can finish to read a story only 2~3minutes.  In all of these stories, I will introduce two stories which are my favorites! One is Hit the floor. One day, a couple traveled to New York and they met a tall man with a big black dog in hotel's lift. They are afraid of the man. Suddenly, the man said 'On the floor Girl!' The couple followed it. However, the word 'Girl' which the tall man said is his dog's name. The other is Dead Cold. In old Russia, people have to wait in a long line to buy meat in a severe climates. One day a old woman was waiting in a long line, and suddenly the woman fell to the floor and died. She were wearing hat, and in the hat, a frozen chicken was found. Yes! The chicken killed her! This book has like these interesting stories more and more. I recommend you to read it, and find your favorite one!!

First classes and new school year

I don'T like first classes, because it is boring. I am just listening introduction about the classes. I know it is important to have introduction in first classes, but I don't like just listening it. I want to take fun classes this year. Of cource, in last year, some classes was interesting for me. I like classes which student can participate in the class. I am expecting to have a interesting classes.

I don't make up at all, because I don't know how to make up well. I see a lot of girls maked up completely in KGU. Making up sometimes changes a person differently. I think perople will be beautiful to make up naturaly. I have to practice to make up. I am looking for tha way to make up which fits me and make my face more brightly.

The movie of Detetive of Konann.

The movie which is named "The Detective of Konan ~the eleventh striker~ " was released yesterday. It is the16th work in movie version of  Detective of Konan. I have watched it from the first work to the 15th work. I am going to watch this work in this Wednesday with my friend. I am looking forward to seeing it. The 6th work, The Phantom of  Baker street, is the best movie for me all of other works.
I think this year's work is not interesting more than The Phantom of Baker street. However, I hope it is interesting and exciting. I can't wait!!!!!!!

ONE PIECE

Recently, I am crazy about reading ONE PIECE. It is very impressed and good story. At the first before I started reading it, I wasn't planning to read it, because I thought it was too long story to read all of the stories. However, I watched it on TV and I thought it was very interesting. It is too hard to explain the stories, but each character has been stronger than I had  watched it several years ago. One day, I had a chance to research about "Oda Eichiro" who is author of ONE PIECE. I was surprised, because his task had already started when he was a junior high school student. He was dreaming to create pirates manga, and he had started to think the story. The more I know about "Oda", the more I was interested in ONE PIECE. That's why I started to read it. It tells us important things. It sometimes makes me cry, and encourage me when I faced hard things. I want everyone to read it.

classes

I am worried about registration classes. Which class should I take? Which class is interesting? Which class is hard to get degree? It is difficult for me to choose only myself. I asked sinior about taking classes. Advices which they gave me is very helpful, but I think it is difficult to know about classes until I take these classes. I am going to study English in Canada, and it makes me more confused to taking classes. I have to register thinking about studying abroad and the things after I come back to Japan. I think it is better to chose classes which I interested in than which I can get degree easily but it is not interesting classes.Whichever I choose, it is ture that I am looking foward the second grades in campus life.
