My blog

 This year I want to study abroad, exercise, and work part-time. I think studying abroad is what I want to accomplish the most. This is because learning about a foreign country will make me like Japan more and will also improve my ability. I would like to practice my speaking skills through online English conversation and so on. I also want to gain courage. Exercise is important to stay healthy. I also want to increase my power through muscle training. In my part-time job, I want to be involved with children. I want to become a teacher, so I want to gain that experience. In particular, I want to be involved in tutoring at cram schools and in childcare for school children.

The coming-of-age ceremony was held on January 7. Due to the coronavirus, it had not been held for two years. I met with classmates from junior high and high school for the first time in many years and took pictures with them. After the coming-of-age ceremony, I went out drinking with my junior high school baseball team and we went to three izakayas (Japanese style pubs) and a karaoke bar. We went to three izakayas and a karaoke bar, which meant we had to take the first train home, but it was a lot of fun. It was the first time for me to drink too much alcohol and get flustered. It was a lot of fun to hear what my friends were up to now. I wasn't sure about going to the coming of age ceremony, but I'm glad I did.

Here are some things to do as a college student. First, I want to be able to speak English. If you can use English, you will be able to travel abroad. I would like to use English to see and visit the beautiful landscapes and world heritage sites in foreign countries that I have seen on TV. I want to study abroad and learn about other countries. Next, I want to learn the blind touch. I think it will be useful to learn this skill because I have more and more jobs that require me to use a computer. Finally, I want to improve my sports skills. I belong to a tennis club. I want to be able to play tennis.

　Korakuen Garden and Okayama Castle are the best spots. When the "Fantasy Garden" event is held, the two are lit up and very beautiful. The garden was created in the Edo period (1603-1867) and has hardly changed since then. The garden is characterized by its lawn, so be sure to observe it. Next is Kibitsu Shrine. This is one of the largest shrines in Sanyo and the main hall is a national treasure. It is built in the distinctive Kibitsu-zukuri style. It is a true example of Japanese culture, and I think you will enjoy it. Next is the Bikantiku. The collaboration of the cityscape and the river is fascinating. It takes less than two hours to visit the area, so if you visit Kurashiki, be sure to stop by.

On this day I stayed at my friend's house. After class, we gathered at my friend's house. We made takoyaki together and ate them. We got creative by using sausages and cheese as ingredients. At first, I could only make bad ones, but by the end, I was able to make beautiful ones. We also played video games. When we got hungry at night, we went to the supermarket together. At midnight, we watched a horror movie together. It was very scary. The next day we had a test, so we studied together. It was a good memory.

I will now introduce my year-end schedule. On New Year's Eve, I have an unlucky part-time job and have to work at a convenience store until 10 pm. I will go home and watch the Kohaku Uta Gassen with my family. When the day is over, I will eat New Year's Eve soba. It is really strange that only New Year's Eve soba tastes good, even though it is made with cheap noodles. I am 20 years old. So I plan to attend the Coming-of-Age Ceremony on January 8 and have drinks with old friends afterwards. In March, I have a training camp with my club. We will stay three nights and play tennis for four days. No matter how much money I have, I can't afford it.
