The very beginning of the new semester






September 20th
I woke up early to watch the Great north marathon which is one of the greatest half marathons in the UK with my host family. The start line of this huge event is quite close from the place where I am staying. It was an ideal day for the marathon. The motorway which is used the street as a start line was filled with lots of runners. Some runners wear funny costumes and made us laugh. The luckiest thing was I could see Sting who is my favourite English singer. Well, I could not see clearly because he stood very far distance from us but even I could not see him clearly, I was happy.

September 28th
From today, my new classes were started. I’m going to study business management, human resource and English in this semester. I have lots of chances to talk with English students or other European students who can speak English fluently. I know it is difficult for me to catch what they speak and follow them. I heard I get lots of tasks in this semester. I would be killed by them…
All I have to do is not to give up and always do my best.

September 30th
From this month we can join societies in this university. I am planning to join lots of societies as many as I can because the societies are the best places to make new friends. I should not miss these chances. I also want to try some sports which I have never tried before.

October 1st
I have gotten some English friends who want to study Japanese. I temporally see them to share our language skill. I like to teach Japanese in English. They can speak Japanese quite well even they have studied only a couple years. To compare with them, how long have I studied English at all!?!? Anyway, I feel this semester is going to be much more exciting than last semester!
