Today I’m at our Gifu branch.  I was just getting ready for classes and went to look out the window to see if it was raining, and I saw this huge bee on the window!  It’s been sitting there for a while and it’s pretty scary!  Compared to America, lots of things in Japan are really small, but the bugs are shockingly big.  I’m glad that this guy is outside the window, but I wish it would fly away.  It kind of looks like he’s watching us!

Hey y’all! A few days ago my family dog, Dude, had his 13th birthday! Dude is an English Cream Retriever, so unlike Golden Retrievers, he has long blonde hair. He also has a very calm manor so he does a lot of lounging and sleeping. Dude was also a Christmas present from Santa, so you can only imagine how excited my brother and I were when he arrived Christmas morning! Anyways, I hope y’all enjoy this sweet picture of my dear Dude. I miss him so much and can’t wait to see him in March of 2021… At least, I hope I can make it to America by then… Stay safe and see y’all in class!

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well! I am really happy these days about the weather since it’s getting colder. Even though I’m use to hotter weather in Texas, I’ve always loved the cold. I would much rather walk around being a little chilly than super sweaty! This weather has made it really nice to walk around outside during the day. I’ll continue to be excited for winter too! It would be really cool to see some snow around Ogaki! 

 

Make sure you’re staying warm and healthy!

トライアスロンの大会で、ゴール直前にコースを間違えてしまったイギリス人選手（James Teagle）。

 

彼の後ろを走っていたスペイン人選手（Diego Mentriga）に追い越されてしまいます。

 

でもDiegoはゴール直前で立ち止まり、Jamesに３位でゴールすることを譲りました。

 

大会後のインタビューでDiegoは、『彼（James）はずっと自分の前を走っていたし、

 

メダルを受け取るにふさわしい』と話したそうです。　

 

スポーツをする人にとって結果は大切なはずなのに、

 

それでも寛容でフェアな判断を（とても自然に！）示すことができるなんて…

 

自分もこうありたいと思わせてもらえる、good newsでしたヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

 

 

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons: the weather is good, the scenery is beautiful, and Halloween is right in the middle! I also like the food you can typically find in Fall. I love pumpkin, sweet potato, chestnut and CRAB! 🦀 Recently I had crab pasta at a restaurant in Ogaki. It’s an October special, so unfortunately I won’t be able to eat it much longer!
