<title>NEW QUARTER</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p><em>OMG! I totally forgot about this blog...lol</em></p><p><em>Well I will shortly write about how I've been doing:)</em></p><br><p><em>A couple weeks ago, Winter quarter began, and I'm taking math091, English101 and Cultural Anthoroploogy. Math and English, I think not many people have problem understanding what they are, on the other hand, Anthro..... well it's a study about human. Cultural Anthro is as you can see a study about living people and their culture. I admit that the class is funny, but um I had a test a few days ago, and I screwed it up!!! It's not like I didn't know all the answers, but I studied in a wrong way...</em></p><p><em>Well it's over now, so I don't give a **** no I do give a **** cus next week I'll see the score which I know won't be good. Anyways, that's my recent college life...lol</em></p><br><p><em>My private life, you know what? I don't really know what's going on or maybe nothing is going on. </em></p><p><em>I got a cramp in my leg in the morning of the day I took the anthro test tho. I've been having a good time here except for the time I have to see those people. The one who knows who they are knows who i'm talking about... I have been trying to be nice but I think my kindness is about to run out. About them, I don't really give a ****. If you are bitch to me, I will be more bitch to you. That's how I live my life. If you are nice to me, I'll be more nice to you. </em></p><p><em>How they act just gets on my nerves. </em></p><br><p><em>Bright side of my private life, well I heard and saw my lovely nephew crying today♥ It was superduper cute! It's kinda funny that when I see him smiling, talking and just moving, I just feel happy and adoring, but when I see him cry, I immediately want to go back to Japan and give him a hug. I am still his No.1 nanny in my mind I guess.</em></p><br><p>ブログのことすっかり忘れてた。</p><p>ちょっとここ最近のこと書きます。</p><br><p>2週間前冬学期が始まり、英語・数学・文化人類学を取ってるんだけど、英語と数学に関してはなんだそれ？な人はそういないと思うが、人類学は、、、えっとまぁ人について学ぶ学問なんだけど、文化人類学というのは見てもわかる通りヒトとその文化についての学問。授業は面白いんだけど、数日前に受けたテストが最悪。問題がわからなかったと言うよりは勉強の仕方を間違えました。</p><p>ま、もう終わったことだけど。気にしない気にしな、、、、くない！来週結果返ってくるし。。。ま、そんなんが最近の私の学生生活。</p><br><p>プライベートはね、なんか何が起きてるんでしょう？むしろ何も起きてないのか？</p><p>そういえばテストの日の朝、足つったけどね。良い留学生活を送れてますよ。あの人たちに会うとき以外わね。知ってる人は知っている彼らです。友好的でいようと頑張ってきましたけど、そろそろ我慢の限界です。彼らに関してはホントもうどーでもって感じ。あなたたちがそういう態度なら私も違う出方をするだけです。それが私の生き方よ？奴らの態度ホントカンに障る。</p><br><p>いいことはね、今日大好きな甥っ子の泣いてるところを拝みました。可愛い♡ なんか面白いなと思うのが、彼の笑顔だったり、おしゃべりだったり、ただ動いてるのを見ても、もー最高に可愛い♥犯罪♡としか思わないんだけど、泣いてるのを見ると、すっ飛んでって抱っこしてあげなくなるんですね。自分の中ではまだ私が第一乳母でいるんだろうな。</p>

<title>Freaking COLD!!</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <br>well, it's been a while...<br><br>For the thanksgiving weekend, I went to watch my host brother's basketball game. It was cool and he did great!<br><br><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131209/13/mikamericanlife/3a/11/j/o0240032012775247600.jpg"><img src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131209/13/mikamericanlife/3a/11/j/t02200293_0240032012775247600.jpg" alt="Mika's college life in America-Robert basketball game" width="220" height="293" border="0"></a><br><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131209/13/mikamericanlife/72/74/j/o0240032012775247599.jpg"><img src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131209/13/mikamericanlife/72/74/j/t02200293_0240032012775247599.jpg" alt="Mika's college life in America-Robert basketball game" width="220" height="293" border="0"></a><br><br><br>What else did I do?<br><br>I went shopping at Premium Outlet Mall with Ben, Junko and Mina. What I wanted most was down coat, but I couldn't find the one I like, but I got a warm winter coat, COACH bag and Converse!! Wish the mall was much closer to where I live...<br><br>My winter break is about to start! I'm kinda nervous about my grades because I wanna get great ones not okay ones... we'll see...<br>But so far I've been doing good:) <br><br>お久しぶりです。<br>サンクスギビングの週末にホストブラザーのバスケの試合を観に行った！かっこよかったし、Robert活躍してた！<br><br>あと何したかな？<br>Ben,順子さん、未奈さんとアウトレットに買い物行ったよ！ダウンコートが一番の目的でいったんだけど、気に入ったのがなく買えず。でも冬用コートとCOACHのカバン、コンバース買えて満足！もっと近くにあればいいのに。。。<br><br>もうすぐ冬休み！しっかりいい成績を取りたいからどうなってるかちょっとドキドキするけど、今のところはしっかりやってる！まぁもう少ししたらわかるでしょう。。。

<title>Happy Thanksgiving!!</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ 4-day-weekend!! Woohoo!!<br>I was just relaxing and doing nothing today:) My host mom and her parents cooked some delicious thanksgiving dinner and I loved it!!<br><br><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131129/13/mikamericanlife/06/74/j/o0800060112764664432.jpg"><img src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131129/13/mikamericanlife/06/74/j/t02200165_0800060112764664432.jpg" alt="Mika's college life in America-thanksgiving dinner 2013" width="220" height="165" border="0"></a><br><br>I remember how I was miserable last time I was here for thanksgiving. I went to my previous host mom's parents' house, and there were almost all Korean (except for host dad, host kids, Andy and myself). Since Andy was an asshole, he made me have a meal with my host mom's relatives instead of my lovely host kids!! They were all speaking in Korean and sometimes asked me some random questions in English while I was able to hear my "host family" having a good time from the other room. <br><br>Anyways, I finally had an American thanksgiving dinner!! Thank you, Erin!!<br><br>Oh! and I went to a bar last night cus my friend turned 21 last week! When someone turned 21, there is only one thing to do!!<br><br><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131129/13/mikamericanlife/5b/90/p/o0640085412764664433.png"><img src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20131129/13/mikamericanlife/5b/90/p/t02200294_0640085412764664433.png" alt="Mika's college life in America-Sayaka's birthday 2013" width="220" height="294" border="0"></a><br><br>I'm sure we'll go again sometime SOON!!<br><br>4連休！いぇい！<br>今日はなにもせずゆっくり過ごしたよ。ホストママとその両親がおいしい感謝祭ディナーを用意してくれて、とっても美味でした(^^)<br>上画像参照<br><br>前こっちにいたときはホント惨めな思いをしたのを今でも覚えてる。そのときのホストママの両親の家に言ったんだけど、ほぼホストパパ・ホストキッズ・アンディそして私以外はみんな韓国人で、アンディがクソ野郎のせいで私はかわいい子供たちではなくホストママの親戚たちとご飯を食べることになって、韓国語でしゃべってるし時々よくわからないこと英語で聞いてくるし、別の部屋からホストファミリーの楽しそうな声聞こえるし、、、！<br><br>とにかくやっとアメリカの感謝祭ディナーをいただけました！Erin、ありがとう！<br><br>そうそう、昨日は友達が21歳になったのでバーで行ったよ～！21歳になったらやることなんて一つしかありませんから！<br>また行きますよ。けっこうすぐに。<br><br>

<title>Poster</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Since I finished the practicum for this quarter, I have an extra time after school. I went to print some photos today to make some posters. The one for my room and the other small ones for my folder. I won't put the pics because there my nephew and kids pictures on them. I am NOT good at crafting but I enjoyed making them:) <br>After tomorrow finishes, I will have a long weekend!! Wheeee!!<br><br>FYI:I will let you know when I write a new post here on Facebook or Twitter since I write irregularly. <br><br>実習終わったから学校終わってから時間があるんだ。今日はポスター作ろうと思って写真現像しに行って来た！部屋用とフォルダー用。甥っ子と実習先の子たちの写真使ってるからポスターはお披露目しないよ。私クラフトとか全く得意じゃないけど作ってて楽しかった♪<br>明日が終われば4連休♡いぇい！<br><br>お知らせ：気まぐれなので更新したときはFBもしくはツイッターでお知らせします。母はちょくちょく適当にチェックしに来て下さい。

<title>JxJ November 23rd</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ I went to a gathering called JxJ. It's organized by Japanese christians and it's for Japanese international students and whoever interested in Christianity or Japan. I first went there 5 years ago during my first stay in Seattle. People are fantastic. They are the reason why I chose to come back here. Anyways, I went there today and had so much fun. To be honest, when I went to JxJ on September, there were bunch of people I didn't know or I barely knew, and it made me feel uncomfortable being there. But now it's my third time and I have gotten to know lots of people who come to JxJ regularly. so It feels like it's the same JxJ I used to love to go to. <br>There also were people I surprised to see!! I sometimes wonder why I came to the states because I miss my nephew too much, but when I see my friends here, I can feel like I made the right decision. Photos are gonna be uploaded in FB so check them out. I didn't take many thou. <br>Now I really love to go to Rock of Ages!! where me and Masa spent time together a lot...<br><br><br>今日はJxJに行ってきた～！JxJっていうのは日本人のクリスチャンの人たちが開催してる日本人留学生やキリストや日本に興味があるための集まりで、5年前にこっちに居たときに行ってたもの。JxJに関わってる人たちは素敵な人ばかりで私がアメリカ留学をするのにここをもう１回選んだのはその人たちがいたから。９月に行った時は知らない人とかほんの１，２回しか会ったことないような人たちばっかりであまり居心地がよく感じられなかったけど、今回は３回目でこの時間を通してJxJに定期的に参加してる子達のことを知れたし、前みたいにJxJに行ける様になったんだ。<br>会えると思ってなかった人たちにも会えたしね！！たまに慧たんのことが恋しすぎて私なんでアメリカ来ちゃった？なんて思うこともあるけど、やっぱりこっちにいる大好きな人に会うと来てよかったって思う。写真はFBにアップするから見てね～！<br>そしてやっぱRock of Ages行きたいな～！まさくんとの思い出がいっぱいある場所でもあるし。
