Typing -My other classes-

I have 14 other classes. I think history of England is the most difficult class because it is hard for me to remember the history. The easiest class is political science because I heard that its test can solve if I don’t listen to what teacher said. The most interesting class is environmental ethnic. The class teaches me I don’t know before. I’m looking forward to the class. The busiest classes are writing class because I have to write a blog three times per week. I must write 10,000 words in 1st semester. It is long way. By the way, I will do my best to take the credits.

Okinawa

I went to Okinawa from 17th to 21st because I had a volleyball match.
It was a first time to visit Okinawa, so I was looking forward to it.

May 17th, we gathered at 7:30am at KGU and went to Fukuoka airport by bus. Then we went to Okinawa by airplane. Okinawa was hot. We put baggage at the hotel and went to gym to referee. Finished that, I and my friends were went to Kokusai-street and ate the dinner. We ate Okinawa soba and ice cream. There were delicious.

May 18th, the day played a match with Kagoshima University.
I sat a bench as a manager of my team. I tried to cure my teammate. Therefore I think we could win the game.

May 19th, the day played a match with Kouran women’s junior college. I was a manager, so we won the game.
This night we went to Kokusai-street and strangers followed us. We were so scared, one of my friends said that she thought the guys must steal her wallet or take off her short pants. Then we run into near convenience store. Few minutes later, we saw outside, and they stood there! So we spent a time until they go away. I will never forget this incident.

May 20th, we played a match with Daiichi early childhood education junior college. It was the last game. The team was my friend’s team. KGU always lost the game to this team. I sat a bench as a manager of the team and we could win! At first round in Fukuoka, we had two losses, but we had three wins in Okinawa. I wasn’t sat a bench when we played a match in Fukuoka. I think I was a goddess of victory! :)
At night, we had a party. We really raised the roof at the party, so we were warned by shop assistant at twice. Then he said next is get out from her. Everyone thought here is different from Kumamoto…

May 21st, I went to sightseeing with my friend. I bought many souvenirs. I bought T-shirt to my father and my grandfather, Hi-chu to my cousin, Chinsukou to my family, Shi-sa to my superior and so on. I bought Karintou to me! I wanted to eat it. Then we came back to Kumamoto at 8 o’clock. Okinawa was so hot, so we were wearing T-shirt and short pants but Kumamoto was cold. We were surprised. I had a good time in Okinawa.

I want to visit Okinawa again.
Next time, I want to go sea and Churaumi aquarium :)
