Marvelous Emotion

I'm at MFWI as an Extension student now. My studying and living here compared with last semester are the same but I certainly have different emotions now.

my precious group members

First of all, I feel more relief now at MFWI. Last semester when I arrived here, everything around me was new and I was both worried and excited. However, when I came back here about two weeks ago, it was just like after a long vacation. I lived here for four months before, so I know where Commons is, where classrooms are, most teachers and Advisors. Also, I already know the rules to have a comfortable life with my group members in the dormitory. Life and scenery of MFWI are not new for me and I don't have to remember all of the things about MFWI again, so I don't feel anxious.

Next, I have a higher motivation. Of course, I also had it last semester. However Extension is special. There are motivated students, we will have a big presentation and we are studying here longer than other students from other departments. We are one seventh of the English department students. Last semester I wanted to know everything about America and enjoy American life, but now I want to study hard and improve my English. I want to test the limits of my ability.

admirable Extension students

Last, I have a greater group unity. Not only each group but also all Extension students cooperate. I can't get enough sleep because I have a ton of homework every day. However, all Extension students are in the same situation. When we are tired, we cheer and help each other. This semester will be harder than last semester, so I'll be able to feel how important my friends are.

It is a wonder that I have different emotion in spite of living at the same place. All of these new emotions will support me for this semester.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed. First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American Chisato Fujii When I saw this poem, I felt strong feeling of this poet like “I am an American,” and I also felt this poet’s voice like “Why am I not treated as an American?” I’ve never lived in this period of world war Ⅱ , and of course, I’ve never experienced this suffering and war, but I could feel people’s voice of this period thanks to this poet. Without these Japanese Americans’ voices, I couldn’t feel and understand their feeling and thought. When I understand this poem’s meaning, this poem made me sad, but I also understood Japanese Americans were proud of themselves in the middle of the war. I respect them and am proud.

Memorable Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing time through on the southwest trip with fabulous teachers and friends for one week. I went to so many special places such as the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go there and I was able to have a various experiences at the Grand Canyon. In addition, I ate a ton of southwest food and spicy food during this trip. This trip was most memorable for me for three reason for that. Amazing Grand Canyon First, I had many most amazing memories at the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed. It was like a picture, so I was really confused when I was saw that. Then I went to the next point to see the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I was really impressed. The next day, I woke up early. I went to Yaki point to see the sunrise with teachers. That day was really cold and windy, so whe...
