☆２０１０☆

Happy New Year!! How are you? I had a lot of experiences last year and worried about a lot of things. Do you have a plan what you want to do this year? I am going to abroad this year so that I decide to study English hard!!

It was very cold today!! I paid to a visit to a shrine with my family in the morning. When we came back home, we ate osechi and my father gave me a New Year's gift!! I like New Years Day because I can get a New Year's gift. I was very happy!! In my house, I watched TV, listening to music and so on. I idled away so much. In evening, we went to my sister's house. Her son had a faver so that her family could not come to my house. We talked a lot of things!! I was glad because her son's faver fell.

I will go to my grandmother's house tomorrow!! I am looking forward to meeting her very much!!
