Journal 2:New Year Resolution

     I decided a big important resolution on January. That is to reduce my weight. I have to reduce my weight because I increased my weight after came U.S. I came U.S. last May. In Japan, usually I didn’t eat snacks and fast food and I drank Japanese tea or Chinese tea. However, after I came here, I eat high calorie foods, snacks and drink soda. In addition, I hadn’t had the scales so I didn’t check my weight. My uncle gave me the scales on last October. When I checked my weight with the scales, I was shocked; I couldn’t believe my weight. After that I started to diet. Fortunately, I could reduce my weight a little bit but that isn’t enough. I will leave U.S in the first week of March. I think I will not able to reduce my weight until the date so I decide to reduce my weight as resolution of this year. I really hope I will succeed this resolution.

Journal 1: Introduction

     Hi everyone, my name is Motokazu Moritani. Please call me Kazu. I came from Japan on last May because of earthquake. I think everybody know very big earthquake happened in Japan in last year. My parents really worried about influence of radiation. They ordered me and my younger brother that leave from Japan for 1 year. That's why suddenly I had to come here so I asked for a year's leave of absence from my graduate school. However, I'm very enjoying American life so I don't have a regret. I will have to leave U.S. in first week of this March; therefore, I can study with classmates and Mr.Sean only a month. One month is very short but I hope I will enjoy this one month with you guys. 

     Nice to meet you and see you tomorrow.
