driving!!

Today is my big sister's, YUKO's 25th birthday. Happy birthday YUKO. She is gonna get married in this April, so this birth day the last birth day as a single.

I hope I can go back Japan and attend the wedding party. Actually, however, I am afraid I might have an exam on the very day of wedding...I hope not...
Speaking of the weddings, today is also important day for my senior teammate of baseball team which I belonged to when I was College student in Japan. His nickname is NI-YAN and is the best baseball player I've ever seen. Actually, he got married with his partner today.

Unfortunately, I could not make it because of classes here, but I am sure he is gonna make good family with her new partner.

Ok, my sore throat is getting wrose..I was going to go the library all the day today, but I changed my mind. I am going in the morning and take a nap in the evening... I believe weekend is supposed to exist even for international students to take a rest!! It sure is.


You guys! In the meantime, enjoy all the excitement!!

※you are gonna convince his parents not him to change to another school（"him" in this sentence is OK??）
