Sho-fu-sai

We had a school festival named "Sho-fu-sai" last week.

We had to prepare for the festival a lot.
So most of the homerooms painted and made some posters from 3 monthes ago.
9th grade students made a place to take some pictures and made soem kinds of game land.
The theme of our performance is the summer festival, and we made 2 large posters for taking pictures.

The main day of this festival, all of the homerooms should entertain the other class's students, parents and visiters, and it looks like a school festival in Japan.
But there is a big difference between the festival in Japan and at Keio Academy of NY.
We can't eat or provide food, because of the health problems.
It was hard to call the people into our classes, because our class was secluded from the other classes.

I think the most exiting point of the festival is the small festival that opened the day before the festival which is called "zenyasai'.
Many rock club members and the dance team named "Zion" performed a lot of interesting performance for the students, and it took about 3 hours.
At that time, we could watch Cm that were made by the students of each homeroom.
Those Cm were good, and they made us funny and happy a lot.

After the festival, we should clean up our sets.
I was a member of the school festival association, so I also had to clean up the room that was used a lot and messed up by our preparation.
That was the hardest cleaning up, and it took about 2 hours to clean all of the things in that room.

I was so pleased by the many performances and the festival.
Finally I would like to say thank you for our leaders who are Himei and Keiko!!!
I hope Sho-fu-sai of next year will be more succeed in!!

Today I want to write about my spring vacation!!!

We have one week spring vacation after the school festival(April 20~26), and my parents came from Japan to have fun with the school festival.

So I stayed at the hotel that is located in White Planes with my parents during the vacation.

We have the baseball tickets for Monday's night game that NY Yankees against with Oakland Athletics at the new Yankee stadium which was opened last week.

But Monday was so bad rainy day, so the game was canceled.

We visit the stadium next day to exchange the tickets to the other game, and as a result we got the tickets for Wednesday's day game at the stadium.

On the game day, there wasn't the sunny light and it was a cold day.

Both of the teams had hit a lot and scored 7 runs when 9th inning was finished.

So the game went into the extra innings, most of the fans have came back to their home, but We didn't do that. Because we wanted to check the result at the stadium.

In 14 inning, Yankee's player hit a 2run home run and the game's end.

I was impressed by the ending, and it was so great game.

We saw 3home runs in the game and one of them was Matsui's one.

I thought watching a baseball game at the stadium is better than on TV, because we can enjoy the atmosphere of the game and the stadium.

On the other day, we went to see the show which was performed by the circus organization named "Cirque Du Soleil" and it performs many kinds of shows all over the world.

I have seen the other kinds of shows in Las Vegas and Orlando.

I couldn't believe the suppleness and abilities of the performers!!!!!

They performed the great show for us, and all of us could have fun with them.

That was an amazing stage（＾－＾）,so I recommend you to see the show.

I could enjoy and refresh myself with those events and the stay at a hotel with my parents.

So I want to say thank you to my parents.

I will study and work the school events and the club activity harder, and my goal is "enjoy my school life with friends and teachers the rest of the year"!!

The hard week

Today I will talk about this week schedule which is one of the hardest week for me.

During this week, you know the softball team that I am belong to has 2away games and 1 home game. and today is the last day of the series of battles at Keio Academy.

We lost the last 2 games very easily.

One of the reason we lost the games is the difference of the ability between Keio and the other teams.

Almost players are beginners to play softball in my team, but there are many great players look like professional softball player in the other teams.

So we have to beat them by our strategy such as Banting and stealing, but it is the hard way to beat them.

We have to practice more after school and I hope we will beat them in the future.

And also, I have the big test of math tomorrow.

But I didbn't study a lot yesterday, because of the softball game.

I was trying to solve those math questions by myself until 1am this morning.

But they are difficult, and I didn't solve them without checking the answer paper.

That is why, I am soooooo sleepy today.

I have to study for the math test after the game.

And I had a project of Oral Communication which is due tomorrow.

I did almost of them last night with my group members.

We have to make the guide book which tells "how to survive this school?" for the next 9th grade students. It is a kind of fun project, but I took a looong time to finish it.

My group made a guide book about the events and how to spent a time on weekends.

We took questionnaire to the 9th grade students about those topics and made a lot of fun pages!

And also I had to make a 3-minutes presentation on Monday.
I made a speech about the new president of the U.S. , Barack Obama.

May be it is not a fun presentation, but I chose that topic because there I got as some information about him on the Internet last weekend.

I had(have) many things to do like those stuffs, but it wasn't the boring week, I think it was fun.

As the daily block calender on the second floor, we have only 53 days until the year will be over.

We have more 2days classes before the school festival called "Sho-fu-sai", so I should overcome this hard week, and I want to enjoy and refresh myself with my parents during the spring vacation next week.

Backstreet Boys

Today I will introduce about one of my favorite musicians named backstreet Boys!!

It is the famous musician in the U.S. and also Japan, and there are a lot of fans allover the world.
I knew this music group three years ago in a CD shop in the U.S., I bought an album of this band then.
This four group band is consist of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A.J McLean.
When this band build on 1993, there were another member named Kevin Richardson, but he resigned from this band.
Backstreet Boys has sold a lot of great pop-music from 1993 to now.
I was born in 1993, so this band is as same old as me.

Now I want to tell you about its very famous and popular songs.
First, my favorite song is "I want it that way" which was released in 1999.
It is a kind of love song, and this song shows us each feeling of a couple.
I chose this song for the poem class's assignment that teached by Mrs.Mulvey.
This song is the most hit song in 1999.
The second greatest song is "Shape of my heart" which was released in 2000.
It also shows the Strong love feeling from a man to his girl friend.
Finally the most exciting and energetic song is "Everybody" which was released in 1997.
This song is used at many dance parties in the U.S.

The songs of Backstreet Boys make you great feeling by lyrics and sound of the songs.
So if you like to listen to music, you should try hearing these kinds of songs that I introduced in the last paragraph.
