!!!!!!

Today is Wednesday!! We have Monday and Tuesday off next week because of entrance exam!! So we have four days off!! Wonderful!! I'm really looking forward to have four days off because we could go to Manhattan!! We have a rule that we have to get back before seven o'clock at night and I don't think we need that rule and to us it is a big thing to go to Manhattan because it is far. It's not like lets go to white plains. It is pretty far that we need to plan to go there before the day. Last week I had my drama play, which was pretty good. But, we had it for two days in a row which I don't really get why we had to do for two days. Also the second day of the performances audience was only about twenty or less. The first day we had the lecture hall full of people. My play was called Lamb to the Slaughter which I had read it before in English class or something. The wife kills the husband by a lamb and she pretends that she's not the killer and calls the detectives, doctors, and photographers to the house where her husband was killed. My role was one of the detectives and tried to measure the husband using the tape measure. The original story to me wasn't really funny so we tried to make it funny. I tried to measure funny so I measured the husband's waist and so on. It is really hard for the actors trying to get laughs and try to act in front of a lot of people. But, since it was my second time performing at that stage I felt better than first time. I think Japanese people are really shy compared to other back ground people. We don't really participate in classes, it’s not that we don't really care about the class or have bad attitudes but we are shy saying answers or giving suggestions. I think I'm not shy compared to other people because I have lived here before and have experienced American schools. American Schools students really like to participate in class so it was hard for me to speak in class because everybody said something and I didn't have the timing to speak.
On the four day break some of us will go to ski trip from Friday. Which I've went in ninth grade and tenth grade. But I'm not going this year because I had basketball season and we didn't know if we were going to the sectionals so I didn't sign up for it. I wish we have gone to the sectionals.....they go to Killington to ski in Vermont, Massachusetts. You could choose ski or snowboard. I now snowboard because I was really bored of skiing. I've snowboarded for six years!! I can't do tricks but I could go down pretty fast....I don't know if I could do it now but two years ago I did. I heard that there’s only 100 days of school left or less. Time flies fast I can't believe that I'm graduating. I have a feeling that I want to graduate and have a feeling of don't wanting to graduate because I want to stay in the dorms with my friends. After I graduate I don't know what I'm going to do and I don't know if I'm going to live by myself or not.

Hey

Hey!! One week have been past after my season has been over!! It feels like it finished a long time ago because I don't have anything to do now!! After school I go to S2 which is a room to practice guitars and drums and singing and stuff like that!! I go there with my friends and do Karaoke for fun!! It's priceless!! But, I'm bored doing karaoke......I have four more months to go!! How should I get through four months without doing anything!! The next years basketball team has started there pre-season from yesterday. I saw them running and I felt that my season has really ended. Monday or Sunday I don't know which day it was but, that day was NBA ALL STAR GAME !! I knew it yesterday so I watched it on youtube. It was amazing, it was the dream team better than the USA Olympic team!! Shaquile O'neil and Kobe Bryant was on the same team!! They were on the same team few years ago and won playing for the Los Angeles Lakers which Kobe still plays for that team but Shaquile O'neil got traded and is now on the Phoenix Suns!! Kobe and Shaq were amazing when they were playing on the same team.
Oh by the way it has nothing to do with basketball but I heard that Kobe Bryant's father lived in Kobe, Japan and he loved Kobe GYU which is Kobe meat so he named is son Kobe!! I don't know if this is true but, I heard it few times in my life so I think its true!! Who Cares!! But, when I was in middle school my favorite player in NBA was Kobe Bryant and I knew about the naming of Kobe and I bought a new dog (Labrador Retriever) and named him KOBE!! LOL
His name is Kobe Hasegawa !! I love dogs especially my dog!! My dog is 4 years old which is 50 years old in real life compared to human. I got Kobe in 2nd grade of middle school and he goes to training camp once a week because hes a big dog. He weighs 40KG !! Heavy!! His father was actually a guide dog who worked for the Japan Guide dog association and got some sort of an award. When I come back for vacation I always play with my dog everyday and take him to a walk for an hour or more!! Since I live in Tsujido ( Dennys) it is in Shonan which is really near to the beach. I walk my dog along the beach and see Enoshima Island and Mount Fuji!! It is really beautiful in the morning and at night!! It's really different when you see it in the morning and at night it feels like your in a different world!!
I got a call from my mother yesterday and talked about what I'm gonna do after I graduate and what I got on the grade and stuff like that!! Last time I called with my parents was in January so it's been a while. My mother said that my grandmother will come at my graduation party! My father will come from Germany and my mother and grandmother will come from japan but since my father has work he will return the day after graduation. But, my father made schedules for us and made many reservations for broadways and restaurants already!! I will stay for about a week after I graduate and will watch Lion King and go to Peter Leuger which is a steak house in New York City.
Next monday my basketball coach will come and will play a game just in Keio. We will play it for fun so I think its going to be a lot of fun!! So that means my season will not end until monday but it will end on monday! LOL I have nothing to do after school.....what should I do Mr.Kringle!! I went to lift some weights yesterday!! Should I study? I think I'm doing pretty well in English!! I am reading all the storys before quizes. But, I think I failed the test that I took last week in Mathmatics. I will get my test back next period.....I'm worried!! I think I wrote more than five hundred words!! I am the class leader of the Cultural Festival and fied day class leader so I have to get prepared for it!! Today I had my uniformed checked and I got one check because I wasn't wearing shool uniform socks!! Boys doesn't show socks at all so why do we have to wear the school uniform socks? I don't get why!!
Four years have past attending at this school and I thought before that I really hated this school but now, I think it was a really big previllage to be at this school and this environment.
I don't want to graduate because I want to stay in the dorms!!

basketball

Hey!!!esterday was the tenth of February 2009. It was one of my memorial day that I will never forget. Our basketball team, the unicorn’s season had ended. Now I'm writing this blog that we lost and our seasons over but I can't really believe that our season had ended. I first started playing basketball was when I was in sixth grade and I kept on playing until yesterday. My basketball life was for six years which means a lot to me and learned a lot from this sport. Friendship, communication, and courtesy. It was last year when we went to the County Center during the finals of section 1 class C game in Purchase and the lost against Tuckahoe. From the day we lost on that day, our new team’s season had started for us. From two weeks later from the lost our new team had started our pre-season which is getting ready for the next season doing basic stuff. We ran as fast as fast as we could and lifted weights training and of course played ball. It feels like the lost of the finals is like yesterday and now our 2008-2009 seasons had ended. Our record was 7-13 which is not a good record. Our team could done a lot much better but, nothing will change even if I say anything. All the time when we lose we say the referee wasn't good but that is how it goes and a lost is a lost, we have to deal with it. It means that we didn't play our best against the opponent. A lot of supporters were around me friends and even my family worried about my season and they hoped that our team will win. Almost every away game other sport clubs got on the sidewalks and said good luck to us and cheered. Home games, a lot of my friends and my friends in freshmen, sophomore, and juniors and seniors came to cheer us up which was a big thing that helped me get into the game and got our motivations up. When we lost the game yesterday I didn't have any tears coming out maybe because I didn't have regret. Even though it wasn't a good record for me, I was proud of the team and feel really proud of playing for the Keio Unicorns. From now on, I will play basketball as a hobby and this year’s season I will never forget and will be a memory that will go away.

From today I have nothing to do but, still think that I still have season and have practice and think that I still have many games to go. I am neet!!!
or the juniors basketball teammates it is their team from today and I hope that their new team will go to the sectionals and win the sectionals and I really believe it. I don't have a real goal for now because my goal for this year was to win the sectionals. I will study from today Mr.Kringle and get a better grade in other subjects!! My goal will be graduating from today!! I have many things to do such as getting ready for the fied day and cultural festival and cheering for other sports!! I got lots of emails from older graduates saying that I played well for four years and should be proud of my self!! They said when I graduate lets get everyone together on the team and go for a dinner some time!! Our basketball team bond is a really big bond!! Now I'm happy but I feel emotional on the other hand!!!!!

Hey HEy

It was snowing last night and all the sports clubs were not allowed to play except for indoor club sports!! Our basketball team had practice!! For me this is the fourth year playing for the Keio basketball club and also the last year playing in a team in my life. I think after my season is over I will not play for a team in Keio University. I will play as a hobby!! I think I have played a lot of different sports than other people because when I lived in America all the sports are seasonal sports so each seasons are short so I play all different sports in every season. I've played tennis for three years, played ice hockey for two years and soccer for 4years and basketball for 6years!! Before I was playing basketball I was a soccer boy! I loved soccer but, when I lived here I had a new coach and he came from the proffessional league and he wasn't a great coach. He was coaching like we were proffessional players and it wasn't really fun. While I was playing soccer I started playing basketball in the winter when I was in sixth grade with american friends. In America almost all the houses have a basketball hoop at each houses and I had one too so I played everyday and got better and better. I also went to a proffessional basketball teams camp and the team was the New York Knicks. Some of the legend players have played at the team in the past so I love them!! When I went to the camp in New York City, all the players were good and they were from all over the places. Some players were black, asian, white and many more different background people were there. A lot of current NBA players came and all star players came too. When I finished the camp I liked the New York Knicks than before because I went to the camp, so I watched almost all the NYKnicks games. While I was watching I saw a guy that I think I have met before and it was one of my coach who coached me at the camp. He was actually a real trainer for the New York Knicks. This camp was one of my best memories in basketball.

I think about all of my basketball memories during the season and it only has five more games left already and we need two more to get into the sectionals and one of my game is today.......the team will play best as a team. I don't want to end the season without going to the sectionals. I think we could make it. Our teams mood is the best out of my four years playing for the Keio Baskteball. I have nothing to do after the season is over. I will be neet. I will think about after I graduate during that time.

I will get my car license and go to many places with my friends!! I'm looking forward for after I graduate but now I only think about baskteball in my head. I don't think about anything other than that. Even studying.......the coach said a witty remark, we win as a team, we lose as a team. These words will never go away from my head!!!
