Preparation for staying abroad!

I was chosen as a exchange student to Unitec New Zealand as you know, and I have some things to do.
Today I'll write what I have to do until I leave Japan.
First we have some orientations. And I have to take TOEFL test twice before leaving and i have to take a medical check.
I have to fill out some documents of the university which I'm supposed to go to.
And I have to entry overseas insurance.
Next I have to arrange the airline ticket and have to listen to our seniors who studied abroad in the past.
And so on. I can't all of the things on this little blog.
Because I really have a lot of things to do.

English lounge

I make it a point to go to English lounge when I have enough time.
Actually I went there yesterday but there were no exchange students except teachers.
Anyway, I'm absorbed in darts.
I often play it with some participants.
And yesterday I watched a movie I don't know the title of it but it's a kind of comedy movie I think.

I think English lounge is comfortable but I have one suggestion.
It's to multiply the number of exchange students in there.
Because there are sometimes too many Japanese and a few exchange students and people want to talk to exchange students but they can't.

After that I went to down town and dropped in a bookstore, and I was searching English book and I read one English magazine it's name is 'English Journal'.
I read the first few pages and I found there is a topic about New Zealand moman.
So I decide to buy it because I wannted to listen to English with New Zealand accent.
She's 21 years old so she's older than me by one year.
And She's beautiful.


After that I went to English conversation school as usual and the topic was about food .
I found that I don't know much about the name of food like ingredients and hoe to cook in English. I learned some new words so I wanna try to remember it for a long time.
By the way the a teacher who teaches us English there is from Capetown, South Africa and he's about 0ver 50 years old so I have sometimes difficulty in listening to him.
He has a a little bit different accept compared with American.

But it's a good training for me to listen such a various kinds of English.
Former,I didn't like his class style because his class was boring and I changed my class but when I took his class the other day I thought he changed the class style so I decided to take his class again.
And he often admires my English.

Too many things!

These days I have a lot of things to do, especially homework is much enough!
Almost all of the task are reports so after I come back to home I have to set up my computer and take in my work.
Actually, It's not only me but almost all the students have to do so.
I didn't think that this year is much harder than last year like this.
But I have to finish my homework one by one.
