Day 2

Finally relieved that it's the weekend, but the fact that I have cram school on weekends just ruins the moment. Cross country practice yesterday was tiring, according to most of the members. Last week there were only two members, including me. But yesterday, we've increased by ten. Probably due to the start of school. 

We did a mile run around the park, and I finished second

はぁ、学校楽しいたいへんやぁ！

心理と漫才がいちばん面白くなるかんじがする。

やっと週末だけど週末に塾があるから一日の休みがねー　(-_-)

ほんで、昨日はジョギングの練習だったで。

１２メンバーで俺２番だったぜっ！ｗ

the start of school

First day of classes was today. I don't feel like a senior yet. I feel like there's still a grade above me. All these years there was always a grade above me; I wasn't at the top of the roof. But as time flies, here I am in my last year of high school when I was just drawing and playing with blocks in middle school. Finish school strong, I say to myself.

ありえないけどもう高校３年生になりました。今日から学校始まったんですよ(._.)

宿題はまだあんまりないけどこれからほとんどいっぱいあるのが感じる。

最後の学年ですね。まぁ、がんばるしかない。

late evening cram school

Cram school was late today. All because of Hurricane Irene.
Started at 5, and ended around 10. First day of school the next day.

Classmates were shockingly unprepared. One girl asked for a calculator, and another even asked for a pencil! How do you forget a pencil-- the primary writing instrument for all tests!!??! So I lent her one of mine.

The girl who sat next to me during the test flipped through previous sections, and the proctor mistakingly told us to write in pen. Can the procedure get any worse?

At the end, I headed outside amidst the dark, foggy atmosphere, and headed home, the rain lightly misting on my face.

First XC and Cupcake

Attended the first cross country practice... in the rain!

Just being inside the school reminds me of another--actually the last-- school year. The atmosphere full of students, new students, teachers, and parents. Orientations going around, undifferentiated blabbering noises in the lobby. A fresh start. I was training in the stairs, while occasionally stopping and saying hello to teachers. Running up the stairs reminds me of climbing up the steep steps of Diamond Head in Waikiki.

It's tiring if you run up the stairs for a while, working out all of your leg muscles. But the less you think about the pain, the more faster and easier it is for you to reach the top, it seems. Like the Marines or the Army said, "pain is weakness coming out of the body."

When I'm running I think about absolutely nothing. It's not like I want to; I can't. Your mind is focused on running that you can't really think of anything else. If you are, that means you aren't trying your hardest. It's like your body controls you, and when you reach the finish line and slow down, you come back to the real world and you start to control your body.

Oh, by the way, not to cut off this little thing about running here, but I ate an Oreo cupcake yesterday(^^)

Blue Jays vs. Yankees

Went to another Yankees game. They won 9-3. Yeah!

一人ぼっちの夜

今日は母さんと出かけの予定だったのが、母さんカゼひいたから俺は一人で散歩しました。一人で昼飯食べましたや。
夕方に日本のコーラスを見て、そのあと手伝った。歩いてる人にフライヤーをあげたな。初めてだったからあんまり上手くできなかった。僕がだいたいわかる曲を歌ったな。「上を向いて歩こう」とか。母さんの友達がメンバーだから大丈夫だった。

そのあとは寂しくぶらぶらしました。
へええ
母さん寝たな。
本当に一人ぼっちの夜。

気まぐれブログポスト

もうすぐ学校が始まるのでいやです。
９月がきました。
夏がもう終わりかぁ～

木のしたでツクツクボウシが鳴き、俺の夏の気持ちがだんだん下がっていく。
どうやらそうみたいだ。
でもまだ暑いからな。
べつにそうとは思わなくていい。

ツクツクボウシ～
ツクツクボウシ～～～
