The happiest birthday

July 23rd was my birthday and I became 20 years old. On my birthday I had to go to the university to participate in the orientation for studying abroad. There were some classmates in same room, but no one said to me, "Happy birthday!" though I had told them the day of the orientation was my birthday. To make matter worse, they desaapeared from the room leaving me. I thought they just forgot my birthday and I was a little sad.... then I was the most unhappy man in the world. I was so sad that I called a friend who had left me and met. We had a chat sitting the staircase for a moment. When about 10 minutes passed, SUDDENLY the classmates show up from the shadow of staircase singing the happy birthday song for me. I was very very very very very surprised and happy!!!!! Additionally, they gave me a whole cake and lovely T shirt which has many massages. I really thank them. I am the happiest man in the world! I am very glad to have such gooooooooood friends. THANK YOU!!

the vital for big group

In fact, I recently had had many mental problem about the club of ballroom dance. The club did not go well and the atmosphere was EXTREMELY BAD, so I had been so stressful. Whenever I go to a practicing floor, I thought I wanted to quit this club because the circumstance of club was like North Korea, I think. circumstance of club was like North Korea, I think. Traditionally, the third grades are in charge of reighning club activity, but some behaved selfishly, but the others could not resist them because they were scared. That circumstance really resemble to North Korea. The former is Kim Jongil, the latter was the nations.
Yesterday, we had a meeting to complain about their selfish behaves. The meeting was very serious. Some cry, other angry. However we finally understand each other because we said our opinion. I think the club will go well from today. I really thought a democracy is very important for a big group through this experience.

Free Weekend!

Recently I have never spent free weekend because I have been busy joining the club. I had to go to the competitions every week even if I don't play. It was waste of time. For example, there were no free weekend in June, so I was so stressful all the time. I was like Japanese people who were living when WWII had been held. This weekend I can spend a real holiday. There is no club activity! Yeah! My parents are going to come to my flat, so I am looking forward to their coming. I haven't seen my parents since March. I want them to give me delicious food because I can't cook well by myself. Anyway I am sure that I can enjoy next weekend!

South Africa or Australia

I passed the exam for studying abroad as a exchange student. At first, I really wanted to go South Africa, but I am recently in front of the alternative South Africa or Australis to study abroad. According to the reports written by students who had been in SA, SA is very very dangerous! For example, an acquaintance may be murderd and it is not unusual. Therefore, I'm afraid of my life in SA. On the other hand, Australia is much safer than SA, so I would spend a safer life than SA. However, in my opinion, studying abroad in Australia is so usual, but SA is rare, so I will be able to have experiences most people don't have. I think it will be very valuable. I am thinking which is more important, a security or a rare experience.
