Touch of Class and dance

Hello.
Now, it is 7:41am here.
Today, in my school, we have "Touch of Class"
We have normal classes as usual, but most of students will dress up all day.
I'll wear Sunday clothes, which I wear on Sunday to go to church.
I'm so excited for it because it is rare for us to see everyone dressing up.

At lunchtime, I'll play the trumpet as Jazz B.
I am a little nervous, but I will!!!haha

Tonight, I'll go to dance to meet my friends.
I cannot go to New Year's dance because I'll be away with my host family.
So, it is the last dance for me this year.

I'll tell you a wonderful day, which is today, with a lots of pictures here.
So, please visit here later!!!

Happy Birthday, Chiemi!!

Hello.
Today, on December 13th, is my Japanese good friend, Chiemi's birthday!
Every time before my good friends' birthday, I send birthday cards to them from Canada and I was going to send a card to her, too.
However, I'm busy in studying, Christmas shopping and so on.
Therefore, I still have her birthday card here!!
I know I have to send it as soon as possible because her birthday is today...
Sorry, Chiemi...
Did you have fun!?
I guess you guys finished your final exam and now you are excited for Christmas party, right!?
I really want to attend that party, but this year, I can't!!
That's ok - I'll enjoy my first Canadian Christmas with my host family!!!!!HAHAHA~!!!

By the way, today, I am going to go to Japanese restaurant for lunch.
Since I am taking Japanese, I can go there for the field trip.
I'm excited to go there!

I am alive and recent Mari!

Hello.

Can you believe!? It is December!

As you know, I'll leave Canada in March, which means I have only 3 and half months to stay here.

In my city, the crazy winter arrived here finally.

Every morning, I wait for buses under -19C.

My fingers and toe are very very painful!!!!

Moreover, because of this weather, buses don't come on time!

I am like, "Hurry up!!! Come on!!!" at the bus stop every day.

This morning, I saw a lady dancing at the bust stop.

I really can understand her because during dancing we can forget this cold weather a little bit.haha

Last Saturday, I got Christmas gifts from my grandparents!!!

They gave me a lots of gifts, including winter goods.

I love them and I am using them every day.

Thanks a lot*

I know my grandparents are unique, but my Japanese family are not...haha



In Canada, most of people are excited for Christmas now.

Many houses are decorated Christmas illumination, which are really beautiful.



On November 21st, I had the winter concert.

I played the trumpet there.

However, since I belong to many groups(Band 20, Band 30, Symphonic band, Jazz band), I was really busy during the concert.

I had a really good time there.

My host mom, boys and a little sister came to the concert to see my performance.

However, since the boys need to go to bed by 8pm every day, they could see only Band20's performance.

My host mom said, "Boys were so excited to see you"

I have one more concert before I leave Canada in February.

I hope I will have fun there too.



See you!

I really want to add pictures but for some reason I can't!

I'll do that whenever I am free.

Sorry about that!
