My First Week

My first week was very busy. On the first day, I went from Kobe to Tokyo to fly to the U.S. At that time, I was so nervous and worried about jet lag. I was a little bit sad because I wouldn’t see my family and my friends and eat Japanese food for four months, but I was excited to study abroad. When I was on the airplane, I didn’t sleep well, so I have been jet lagged for about five days. I ate pizza in the Seattle airport with my friend. It was my first time to eat American pizza and it tasted good! When I arrived in Spokane, our RA was waiting for us and holding a pretty sign. I noticed Spokane is colder than Kobe. There were snow on the ground, too. I was so happy because it rarely snows in my hometown. On the second day, when I went to breakfast in the morning, I was surprised to see the beautiful sky, houses, trees and animals. My hobby is taking photos, so I’m really happy. When I arrived at Commons, I ate breakfast with my friends, which was great, and I was very full.   

Among my housemates, there are two people who speak English very well, so we usually talk to each other in our house. Thanks to them, I'm able to speak English more fluently than ever. My housemates and RA are so kind, reliable, cute, too, so I feel very happy now. On the fifth day, I watched a movie while eating popcorn with my housemates and RA. The name of the movie was Cinderella. It was a little bit difficult for me to understand what they said in English, but gradually I could understand, and I began to like this movie more than ever. My first week was very busy, but I had a good time.
