Do you know Oshogatsu(お正月)?? I think it is the most symbol of Japanese custom. The first three days in a new year are called Oshogatsu.
1st January, Japanese eat Omochi(お餅) and Osechi cooking(おせち料理). Adults eat them with some alcohol such as Nihon-shu(日本酒). And we meet our relative within these three days to greet and celebrate for each new year's start. Then, we say "あけましておめでとうございます" each other.
As traditional custom, we children gain money from them. But in the next Oshogatsu, maybe I can't get money because I'm 20 years old(T^T). When I was a child, I always gained money a little from them! The money called "Otoshidama(お年玉)". So, after Christmas, I was looking forward to Oshogatsu every year because of it.
Also, we write a letter called "Nenga jou(年賀状)" as well as a new year card.
I can't help waiting Oshogatsu!!

This blog is the work of the Advanced Writing class at the University of Shimane. This is a learning blog, so there are bound to be errors, confusion, and occasional misunderstandings. This is all part of the process... This is the first time for these students to write in English for anyone other than their teachers, so please be kind. ;^)

How about my schedule?
Today, let me introduce my weekly life though what is not like a college student's one. But I like it. Because, I have only 10 classes throughout a week. Many free time mine!! So happy! I have the classes from Monday to Thursday, so Friday is free every week.
About my job is: I work from 19 to 25 every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Additionally, the next day, I don't have a class on morning! That is one of the reason why I like my schedule. It's a nice balance, isn't it? Now, I don't do at all on weekend except for a part time job... So, I'd like to start whatever such as exercising, travel or cooking for every meal. I hate cooking because it needs a lot of materials, time and so on. However, I will try to do!
By the way, what time do you go to bed? Midnight? Or early night? College students are more free than high school students, so I often stay late at night playing the video games such as Wii or PS3 with friends. It's not easy for me to go to bed without doing something to fun. On the other hand, due to that, I sometime be late for the class starting at 9 a.m.(LOL) In order to quit this unhealthy life, I'd like to exercise everyday and go to bed earlier.

My club activity.
-Today, I'm going to tell you about my club activity, the Acting(Drama) Circle. I like to do or act a drama. So, I entered it a year ago. Though we don't make a movie, just do a stage acting. But it's very fun! To tell the truth, I had a dream that I wanted to become an actor once when I was a child. The reason why I was interested in it, because the actors on TV drama or cinema looked very enjoyable!
Now, I enjoy performing as a hobby. On the other hand, I'm not be able to act better than what I was a year ago...
Last year, I appeared two stages. One was that I appeared on the stage at my college event as an indoor student, the other was that at citizen's musical as an active, college student. Both were so nice when I finished all! We circle were commended at the event.
It is difficult and tired to memorize all lines. But, I'm so happy when I could my position in front of public than I had expected. So, I respect all actors of movie stars around the world!!
