Bones, Fringe, and Fashion

おはよう!

Fringe was on てれびきのう ごぜんくじ! わたしのともだちは invited me over to かのじょのへや to watch it on かのじゃのてれび。Season premiere です。I have to say that it wasn't as good as I was expected, especially after the amazing finale last season. It was still good, but not quite as awesome as it could have been. But I have high hopes for a great season, because Fringe rocks and it can't be anything other than great!

Bones was also on てれびきのう。I haven't been able to watch it yet - it was on while わたしは はたらきました。But I will be watching it later today! So excited. =)

Okay, last note -
きょうMayersohnさんは and わたしは are going to the Fashion Institute of Technology. There's an exhibit at the はくぶつかん there showcasing にほんのfashion! It promises to be really fun...and, of course, educational about にほんのculture. Maybe わたしのにほんごのclass should take a field trip to go see it?

Why Japanese?

East Asian culture is really cool! I love the history and the traditions of East Asian countries. Japan in particular is my country of interest for the semester. In addition to learning Japanese, I'm also taking Arts of Japan and Judo. Japanese and Arts complement each other quite well -- Japanese helps me to more easily understand and retain Japanese terms in Arts, and Arts teaches me about the history of the Japanese people as well as adding words to my limited Japanese vocabulary.

I'm really excited to learn about Japanese culture this semester. I really like how in class we have been learning about different customs, such as bowing. It's fun to be able to compare American culture with that of the completely different Japanese culture.

I can't believe it's only been two weeks since I started learning Japanese! It feels like I've been learning so much already. I can definitely tell that I'll need to do a lot more practicing with my listening skills -- it's really hard to pick out words from such a foreign set of sounds!

Anyway, I have to be going now. But so far this blog thing seems like it will be kind of fun =)
