みなさん、こんにちは。
わたしはいま日本ごのクラスのブロッグをかきます。

あの、かぞくはきのうシャロッツビルにきました。それから、ミールモントグリールでかぞくとルームメートとばんごはんをたべました。わたしはさかなをたべました。ちょっとたかかった。さかなはおいしかったね。それから、日本ごのクラスのともだちとクレモンズで日本ごをべんきょうしました。きょうはテストはありました。テストはまあまあです。ちょっと時かんですね。しゅうまつはハロウィーンのパーティーにいきます。おもしろいですよ。じゃあまた。

oh and also I wanted to mention what a good blog is. It should be entertaining and insightful. although at the moment it doesn't seem like my blog is that entertaining or insightful, but maybe I just haven't been doing anything entertaining lately. Hopefully next time I'll have some stories to talk about.

日本ごのクラスに行きました。それから、ひるごはんをたべませんでした。でも、わたしのともだちにあいました。わたしのともだちはカリフォルニアからきました。So I'm pretty excited about that. He is the first person from home I have seen. It's always good to see a familiar face! I also think that this wekend will be a lot of fun.

こんいちはみなさん。いま三時二十五分です。
So I took the ch.2 test today. The worst part about it was when I couldn't remember how to spell sandwich....in English! So that was a little embarassing on my part. Although I feel like I am forgetting a lot of things now a days, but like people have been given a clean start, so have I.....with a new chapter. I have decided that I shall put more effort into this chapter than EVER BEFORE!!!(like the emphasis?) Eventhough I do have a really hard midterm coming up next week, nonetheless I shall succeed.

みなさん、こんばんわ
Well, let's start off with this week seemed pretty hectic to me. Not to mention that I just remembered that I didn't do the mallard quiz today....so it's late and is the second week in a row that i forgot which annoys me a lot. And I definitely was trying to get things in early.....but o well. There's always next time.

On to happier things. I went to a Pinback concert at the Satellite Ballroom last night. And that was amazing. And to clarify, the Satellite Ballroom is on the corner. You turn down the alley way right next to Lil' Johns. Also, I am still very happy that we are now on to verbs!

I am one of the few people that is staying here for fall break. I hope that I can get lots of work done and catch up in all my classes and maybe get ahead....which is a thought. But wish me luck when I take a shower either tomorrow or Sunday when there will be no hot water. YES!!!!!

じゃあまた。

こんにちは、みなさん！
I am now typing this, after a short nap of mine, right before this next blog is due. So lets just say that my productivity is pretty slow. Hopefully soon I can get my act together and study a lot more and actually do the work on time or even better....early!

So back to Japan and all its goodness. I like watching Japanese movies especially しちにんのさむらい or らしょもん (hopefully I am spelling them correctly). I have watched some anime in my time and I'm not obsessed but it can be pretty entertaining. So if you want to watch any Japanese movies (including anime) and have them, because I have none, then let me know. Oh I have "Lost in Translation" which is amazing and funny....so if anyone wants to watch that just let me know.

So. This is my first attempt at blogging. I have never done this before eventhough I would say I have a pretty high level of experience on the computer.

Reasons for taking Japanese: well the main reason is because I love the Japanese culture and language. I lived in Tokyo for about seven years beginning at the age of 1. As my early childhood consisted of being surrounded primarily by the Japanese culture and language I have felt a close relation to both. Although unfortunetly when I was there I did not learn to speak Japanese except for konnichwa, konbanwa, ohayoo gozaimasu, and itadakimasu. I started taking Japanese classes a few years back, but of course the quality of the class was nothing compared to here at UVA. I am hoping that now I can finally start to fully master this language.

Now I'm not exactly sure what else to put in here....or how long it should be....so I shall leave it at this.

Sincerely,
Hantaa Dansu
