IT'S A COLD DAY!!

It was so cold today that I felt blue all day. In addition, I didn't do well on the final tests either in Education or in Listening class. I became even blue because of that. When I was leaving school after 6 pm, it got much colder. My friend and I walked to Fuchinobe Station complaining about that cold! On my way home from the nearest station, I came by a supermarket to buy some groceries for dinner. As soon as I come home on Fridays, I'm always feel hungry, but didn't this time because I had late lunch after 4pm. So, I prepared dinner after 10pm. and now finished it. Eating this late at nigh, I 'm worried if I'm gaining weights! I definitely need some exercises!!

SCHOOL'S GOT STARTED

Sadly, my winter vacation has passed so quickly. Not until today, did I realize that I had a final test in Education class tomorrow!! I got upset about that and I started working it right away. I'm going to have another test in tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed as soon as possible, but I have to study for Education Psychology. I'm already sleepy though. I have no idea when I can get a sleep...

ITCHY SKIN

These days, I have been suffering itchy skin in the back from dryness. Have you had that itchiness? I always take care of other part of skin with moisturizing cream, but it's hard for the back to be cured. Maybe, oral medicine could relieve the trouble, so I should see a dermatologist as soon as possible.

CAME BACK TO MY PLACE

Last night, I returned to Yokohama where I live alone from winter vacation.　My sister and her daughter also came to spend New Years celebration with us, so I was brought to Tokyo by her car on her way back home. I was dropped off the car before Nakameguro station then took a train to Yokohama. Although I had been away from my place just for a week, I found my own place more comfortable than my family home maybe because it's smaller and cozier. I felt hungry but didn't feel like cooking, so I rewarmed a beef stew like this!!

Oshogatsu②

Yesterday, my parents and I went to Akasaka to visit Hie Shrine. It was so crowded that we had to wait our turn to stand before the altar. Then, I consulted an oracle which meant fairly good fortune. On our way back home, I saw a bunch of people waiting for runners joining Hakone Ekiden to pass through the street. Fortunately, we happened to see a runner in light blue passing by the street while our car was stopping at the red light. However, it was little far from my sight, so I couldn’t see which university the runner was belonged to. As far as I know, AGU was supposed to have joined the race for the first time in 33 years… No matter what the result was, just to participate in such a big event is honorable.

Oshogatsu①

It was a beautiful day today, so I felt like taking pictures. First, let's take pictures of Oshogatsu items! Seeing these things, I can steel myself and want to make a fresh start for New Year. My New Year's resolution is to be punctual!!

My mom makes Zoni every year like this!! I feel like eating it at this time of the year!

This is my house's garden! It's a very Japanese style, isn't it!? I rarely watch the garden carefully, but I found it quiet, beautiful and relaxing this time. I took pictures of it to show you some!!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

I wish your happiness and good health for the year !!
