One month since I arrived in Spokane. I can’t believe it. My head is in a whirl because my American life is tangle and confusing.
Last, my heart flutter with threatening classes. I don’t like to study German, but I like German. I worry about studying German because I couldn’t understand German in Japan. I have to take German in English now. It’s scary. My German teacher is Karen. She teaches us clearly and carefully, but I have a fear of German, I feel nervous in German class. Extension classes have often many opportunities to speak in front of people. I’m upset because I’m weak to speak in front of people, my voice and leg shake, and my mind go blank. I hope I get accustomed to classes soon.
First, unbelievable homework makes me upset. I already know that extension has too much homework, but content of homework is difficult for me. I have to read a lot, such as book, newspaper or any documents. These have difficult vocabulary and grammar. Also, books have many characters, I often think “who are you?” In addition, I have to write a lot, such as summaries, essays and my opinions. It’s so hard. Writing in my opinion especially hard for me because I have to think deeply and express my feeling or thinking. However, I’m excited a little because I believe my skills are improving.
Second, new dormitory life makes me disorder. Last semester I lived in Covington, the third floor. Now I live in Helen Keller. I prefer Covington because Covington has a separate bathroom and washroom, so I use washroom when someone uses bathroom, but Helen Keller doesn’t have this separation, so I can’t use it if someone is using bathroom or washroom. I feel impatient. Also I don’t know why the first floor is colder than outside. My room is on the third floor, the third floor is better, so when I get up in the morning I wear in light clothes and go downstairs to go to Commons. I’m surprised the first floor is cold. My dormitory life is strange.

Actually, I didn’t expect my new life to be soon, because I spent here already, but I am experiencing new life now and I’m confused. More interesting or confusing experience await me, so now I am having a confusing life, but I’m looking forward to many new experiences.
