Unbelievable Life

Fantastic Extension Life
I have experienced some interesting things here at MFWI. There are a lot of things here which are not in Japan, so I can have a lot of new experiences. I learn many things from daily life like going to school, having lunch, communicating with many people, and going shopping. There are three things that I didn't expect.

First, I was surprised at the weather here. I knew that Spokane was colder than Japan, but I didn’t expect such cold mornings and evenings. In addition to that, I am confused about change of weather. In the morning, I wear warm clothes because of cold weather. However, it changes to very warm temperature in the afternoon. Then, I become too hot. Also, it is very dry now. I have to drink water frequently. I have never experienced such situations, so I was upset at first.

Second, I was shocked at extension classes and homework. Of course, I expected that they would be harder than regular program. However, I was surprised at the speaking speed. Some teachers speak English very fast. I was worried about my listening ability. I was also upset about the amount of homework. Every day we get a lot of homework. Now it is hard for me a little bit, but I hope that my English skills improve as I do the homework.

Happy Yuka's Birthday!
Finally, I didn't expect such an exciting life in my dormitory with my friends. Actually, at first I was worried about it because most members of my group are new friends for me. However now I enjoy my life with them very much. They are interesting and kind. If I have a lot of homework, I can overcome it with them. My RA, Meagan, is great. She is powerful and funny. I want to make strong bond which I can’t get in Japan with all of them.

There are not only happy things in the life here, but also I have difficult problems. However, I believe all experiences will be useful in my future. Actually I am learning many things which I can’t learn in Japan from my life in America, so I am happy to experience them here. All in all, the three things are unbelievable for me.
