長い間書かなくてすみません！
大学三年生として一学期無事終わらせました。「無事」、とか言ってもまだ成績は解らないけどね。。。(^−^;) 結局日本語とったけどやっぱり思ったより難しかった。てか宿題が多すぎて他のクラスに集中できなくなった（泣）
冬休みになってからあまりしてないけど、それはまだ二日しかたってないからだと祈っている。私、本読むのが嫌いなんだけど "Chinese Cinderella" と言う本を家で見つけました。私がまだ小学生か中学生のころ買って、ぜんぜん読まなかった本です。でもなぜか昨日見つけた時突然読む気になりましたので、昨日と今日で読み終わらせました。
私は昔からシンデレラの話が大好きでした。妹の信濃の英語の名前はエラ (Ella) なんですが、シンデレラの本当の名前もエラ (Cinder Ella)だったので、子供の時から妹の事がとても羨ましかったです（笑）
今はまってるyoutubeのビデオ：
若い恋
なんかチョー嬉しそうでかわいい（'▽'）
あと歌も♬：

Translation:
I safely finished my first quarter as a third year in college. Well maybe I shouldn't say "safely" yet, since I haven't even gotten my grades back yet... (^-^;) I ended up taking Japanese, and it was really hard... by hard I mean there was a lot of homework, and so it basically took away time from my other classes.
I haven't had much to do since winter break started... but I'm hoping it's because it's only been two days. I don't really enjoy reading books too much, but I found a book at home titled "Chinese Cinderella". I remember buying it in elementary school or middle school, and not reading it at all. For some reason when I found it yesterday, I suddenly felt compelled to read it, so I finished reading it today.
I've always loved Cinderella, especially as a little girl. My little sister's middle name is Ella, and Cinderella's actual name is Ella (Cinder=ashes... and Ella), so I was really jealous of my sister as a kid.
I posted a video I really enjoyed above, along with two songs I like, so check them out =)

二週間だけ日本に帰っています。
I've been in Japan for about six days now. I haven't posted anything yet, but I thought I'd start now... even though I'll only be here for another week.
Monday/Tuesday: My flight was around 1:20pm Monday from SFO. We ran into Dr. Thomas (Ema's dad) and found out he was on the same flight as my mom. My mom got bumped to Business Class because she knew one of the flight attendants on JAL. My brother and I flew United and were not so lucky... two hours before we landed in Japan, I felt very very sick because there was a lot of turbulence, probably caused by the typhoon which hit both Taiwan and Japan. We got to Narita around 3:30pm, and from there took a train and taxi to my grandparents in Chiba province. My sister, who was already there for two or three weeks, was sitting on the couch watching the womens volleyball match. I forced her up and made her come with me to 7 11, which is my sibling's and my favorite place to shop for snacks in Japan.
Wednesday: I went shopping with my sister and spent a lot of money... I don't usually spend money on things other than food, but when I come to Japan I spend... quite a large amount of money on things other than food. We had temaki sushi for dinner.
Aloe Yogurt
手巻き寿司
Thursday: Went to Nihonbashi in Tokyo province with my mom to a photography place to try on kimonos. In Japan, 20 is an important age, so they take pictures or something... I'm not sure, but my grandma and mom both wanted me to dress up in a kimono and take nice pictures... so Thursday I went in to choose my kimono and reserve a time next week to go in and take pictures. I am slightly excited because I haven't worn a kimono since I was about 10. I wear ukatas to festivals but never kimonos because they are expensive. I sat in a Women Only car on the train going there. It's to prevent pervy men from doing pervy things.
Friday: My Uncle took his wife, son, Toshi, and I to Saitama province by train. We went river rafting... sort of... it was a boat, but I don't know what its called... The scenery was very pretty, and it wasn't too hot. Later, we went on a steam engine, because my cousin loves steam engines and other trains. We got home and ate yakitori.

Saturday: My grandma, mother, and I went to Kanagawa province to see my great grandmother, who is in a nursing home. For the past three years she wouldn't know who I was (usually she knew who my siblings were, but for some reason she would forget me), but this year she seemed to know who I was. At the same time, someone was singing Sukiyaki, and I started tearing up. We had tea and had a light snack, and some gymasts were visiting the nursing home. We saw a gold medalist in the Athens olymics, and a silver medalist from the Beijing olympics. After we got home and ate dinner, my brother, sister, and I went to an Obon festival.

My Day... just to improve my Japanese...
このブログは日本語で書いてから英語に訳すことにしました。
夏の間は道学のクラスをとっています。今日は中間テストがあってけっこう大変でした。中間テストは、安楽死についた質問がありました。中間テストの後は、一時間講義があって、それからグループクラスが二時間ありました。今日グループクラスでは、妊娠中絶の事を話しました。けっこう面白かったです。クラスの後アパートに帰って夕飯を作って食べてからパティーと言う友達といろんなお話をしました。
I have decided to write this blog in Japanese, then translate it into english.
During the summer I am taking an Ethics class. Today I had a midterm which was pretty difficult. The midterm included questions about euthanasia. After my midterm I had an hour of lecture, then two hours of discussion. During discussion today, we talked about abortion. It was pretty interesting. After class I went back to my apartment, made and ate dinner, then talked to my friend Patty.
