10:11PM - Living Alone in Kyoto

Living Alone in Kyoto
I started to live in Kyoto alone last October. Before then I commuted from Osaka to the University, which required me about 2 hours. When I had classes in the first period, I had to get up at 5:30 am and leave home at 6:30. It was too hard for me to be I came back home very late after the club activities. Now I can go to the University in 15 minutes by bicycle. Beside this many things have changed after I moved to Kyoto.
First how to use my time has considerably changed.Simply counting, I save 4 hours spent on commuting every day. On the train I could only read books or take a nap.This was not very fruitful. But now I can sit at my desk,say,in the morning!! Because I sleep well at night, I don’t sleep during classes. As a whole conditions for study has come very good. In addition to this, I can stay with my friends longer.Though,every condition has not come good.
Second big change is that I have to cook. When I lived with my family, I was hardly in the kitchen. This is because there was not nessesity to cook by myself.
Living alone,out of nessesity I started to cook dinner. Getting accustomed to this, I began to cook a box lunch.
At first I thought I was not good at cooking,but I found I had an ordinary ability to cook. Recently I like to read some cooking books.
Third change is my thought of my family. It “was” natural Mother and Father were at home.It “is ” natural nobody is in my house.Though I don’t feel constrait, I sometimes miss my family. I found the existence of family important. Especially,I have realized Mother is great.She always not only does a lot of housework,but also takes care of my grandmother.I heartly come to appreciate her cooking,washing,clearing and kindness.On the other hand,my parents also seem to miss me. In spring vacation,I’m going to stay as long as possible with my family. I want to talk a lot with them.
As a result I think it was good to live in Kyoto. I’ m sure that I sometimes feel hard,but I’m happy to have such changes. Thanks to these changes,I can see things from the point of view which I have not have before. New surroundings made me change.Concretely to say, I think I have to live a life of independent and to be a dutiful daughter.
From now on I ‘ll continue to enjoy my life.

1 First,voil some water.
Then,get the cover off and pour hot water into it.
Finally,wait 3 minutes.


2 My parents always get angry when I come home late.
For instance,they always ask me,"What were yo doing!?"
Furthermore,they exaggerate their worry about me.
Consequently,they storm against me.


3 Most students have part-time jobs at night.
For example,they work at convenience stores in the middle of
the night.
However,it is bad for their health.
In particular,getting up late is not good.

8:43PM - colored leaves

I think the best place to see colored leaves is Kyoto.I am from Osaka.In Osaka,in the latter part of November we can see ornament for Christmas everywhere.On the other hand,in Kyoto people hold color leaves dear.After all colored leaves fall from trees,mood of the city translates to that of Christmas.
This year I can't go to any temples to see colored leaves,but ginkgos in university make me happy.

12:30AM - The November Festival

The November Festival,our university's cultural festival was over.This year our club hold a bulter cafe,where we wear costums of bulter and servant.
Preparation of costums was left to me. I sewed many bow ties and collected black suits vests.
At first I wondered these costums matched with us,however,this was groundless!Putting on a suit,a shirt and a bou tie,each of us changed beyond all recognition.
We served masters---visitors heartly,they were pleased at our hospitality.
I had a good time during the festival.This became one of my best memories.
