Fabulous Extension Students

Two weeks passed since we came to Spokane and the class started on last Monday. I was surprised at Extension students’ attitude for study and so on.

First, they take all classes hard. They try to answer to teacher’s question and give their opinion positively. When they can’t understand, they ask to teachers without a hesitation. One of the reasons why they became so is difficulty of classes. We have to concentrate to understand lectures. I also try to say my opinion in the class but I think it is not enough, so I want to make my motivation higher.

Second, the attitude for their assignment is different from last semester. Almost all of the Extension students do their homework earnestly. We have already heard that there is a lot of homework in this semester from the student who joined Extension program. If we don’t have to care about study, we will not able to finish assignments before a deadline. We also have to finish it before a date changes because we have to concentrate in lectures as mentioned above. Each student’s motivations make us eager.

Third, they try to join as many events and volunteers as they can. We have many events in this semester, for example, Yosakoi and So-ran dance, Moon-Looking Party and Spokane River Clean-up. Almost all the Extension students will take part in these events though they have a lot of things to do. One of the students said that she want to join all events. Now, students who participate in Yosakoi and So-ran dance event look so busy because of the practice. I am not only worried about their busyness but also have respect for them. I decided to join a Moon-Looking Party at JCC to help make dango and Spokane River Clean-Up. It is important for us to enjoy events. I am looking forward to these events and communicating with people live in Spokane.

In conclusion, Extension students are different from them in last semester. An attitude for all things changed. We start to improve ourselves. In the last of this semester, we will be able to be better than now, I believe.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig

My Valuable Southwest Trip

Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c
