Should we?

I do not know if I should upload a new article or not. For me, this 500 words task  every week is not easy.

Last week I mostly worked. Five days out of a week, isn't that hard? It was. Though it is hard I have to earn money for studying in Germany.

I seriously do knot have any idea what else to write then. It is going to be just my personal diary. haha

On Saturday I went to Hibiya for “Oktoberfest” with my friend who is also in German Department. Do you know Oktoberfest? “Oktoberfest” is literally a festival usually be held in October in Germany. The letter “C” is written in “K” because that is German. The festival was totally wicked! We could drink genuine German-Beer there: we drunk Franziskaner Weisbier, Spaten Optimator. What else you could drink were, Spaten Munchner Hell, Flensburger Pilsener, Weizen, Dunkel, and so on. I don't think quite a few of you know those German beer, but I would like to say that those beers are completely better than Japanese beer! I don't like beer but I could find German beer is savory. It was expensive (1500yen per beer mug!), but a mug was enough for both of us. I cannot wait for going to Germany!!

Then I would like to talk about last exciting night. I went to my friends house and watched UEFA Champions League. It started on 3:30 am and lasted till 6 am. Manchester United against FC Barcelona. The game was so exciting. I was amazed how they played especially for Barcelona. I could even thought that the ball was alive. The second half of ball possession of Barcelona was absolutely longer than that of Manchester United. I could make sure that Spanish national team at the moment is the strongest team as we could know from the World Cup 2010, and also FIFA's MVP of 2009,2010 Lionel Messi is legendary great player. I wonder which team could beat the team which Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Villa and other famous players play altogether. After the awesome game finished in the early morning I slept for less then 3 hours, then I went to Tokyo station for a part-time job. What a hard day. I almost fall asleep with standing!

Lately I cannot go to bed earlier because I often work until 11pm, and I have enormous amount of homework. Learning Language is constantly laborious task. I have several midterm examinations for German. I did not really prepare for those exams which means I have little time to sleep this week. I think this is what the many other uni students do. Cutting out of time for sleep.

It is almost 3 am right now, and I have to write a report about nuclear energy.

Wish me luck. Good night.

Self Introduction

 

My name is Manami Nagare.

I am in German department in Language faculty. Sophomore. The reasons why I chose German studies are; first, I wanted to be trilingual. Second, when I was in Canada as an exchange student, I become best friends with a Germany girl who taught me a little German. Thus I would like to have a conversation with her in German.

Though I live in Ichigaya now, I am from Togo, Aichi. People always ask me “oh, are you from Nagoya?” I am afraid I am not from NAGOYA though there is next to our town. My high school was St. Capitanio girls high school. Quite a few people say that the name of my school is interesting I guess because not many of them heard of these saint's names. I think girls school is awesome because I do not have to care about around. Only thing we did was enjoy everyday life without considering about our future. This is the most different point from now. I sometimes wish I could go back to those days.

I belong to Sophia EAGLEs FC, and Volleyball AIKOKAI. My university life is mostly occupied by those circles. As you can reckon I love playing volleyball, and watching sports. I used to prefer to watch baseball games especially for Chunichi Dragons, but recently I watch soccer games more frequently owing to where I belong to. However I do not have favorite soccer club yet, I am highly interested in Bundesliga, German soccer league. My favorite soccer players are Atsuto Uchida playing in Schalke, Makoto Hasebe in Wolfburg,, Tomoaki Makino in Köln.

My hobbies other than playing and watching sports are; Listening to music, reading, watching movie, and finding good Cafes. Quite usual.

Mostly I listen to foreign songs. I also like to listen Japanese music, but I value above lyrics. I like to listen Jack's Mannequin, Maroon5, LMFAO, David Guetta, Young Money, and RADWIMPS. The lyrics of RAD are great. I respect Yojiro Noda. Their song on my recommendation is “Aoi Haru”. Check it out!

I like to read mystery, especially Keigo Higashino. For me, his recent masterpiece is “Hakugin Jack”. I like to read happy-ended stories.

For now on I want to watch “Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides”. Recent firm I liked was “Social Network”.

I love finding good cafes. Kichijoji is the best place to find cute and famous Cafes. Most recently I visited HATTIFNATT. The wall is all over painted colorfully. I was pleased!

I work at Tokyo Station selling EKIBEN. (lol) It is sometimes boring, however the advantage of working there is easiness.

And I started working as Cafe servant in Kojimachi. It is new-opened cafe, and we have to use coffee siphon. Although I spend super busy days because of double-work, I am enjoy working.

I will study abroad in Germany for half a year from next year. I did not apply but I might be going to Bonn University. Studying German is hard task but I seriously would like to be German-speaker.

I do not know what else to write.

Anyway, nice to see you in Advanced English class.
