Birthdays/おたんじょうびの日

わたしのいもうとのたんじょうびの日は　十一月（じゅういちがつ）１９日（じゅうきゅうにち）です。その日（ひ）にいもうとはきゅうさいになります。いもうとのたんじょうびの日にいわたしといもうとはセントラルパークに行きます。

Being away from home and family for so long a period of time can be a bit depressive. My eight-year-old sister, who's turning nine next month, has asked to come visit me here in New York and I'm very excited about having her here for a time, allowing me a bit of a break from serious college life. Below is a short video of a Japanese version of the "Happy Birthday" song.



じゃ、また。

Autumnal／秋

あきはわたしのだいすきなきせつ (season) けどでんきはちょっとさむいですね。
せんしゅうの土曜日（どようび）あたらしいセーターとシャーツをかいます。

The fact that midterms and the start of New York's cold weather seasons coincide this year is probably the punchline of the great cosmic joke. For the cold weather clothing, hot apple cider, and pumpkin carving opportunities it provides, I find myself loving autumn every year anyway.

みなさんのすきな きせつ はなんですか。
