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.

I enjoyed the plays (I came the second night). "Lamb to the Slaughter" is a pretty good story, and you guys did it well. I noticed the business you did with measuring the body. That was a good idea. Have you ever seen the TV show of "Lamb to the Slaughter"?
Too bad you couldn't go skiing last weekend, although we had plenty of snow around here. Did you do anything interesting?
