I'm a student in the second year of the Kumamoto Gakuen University. I'm in the Department of Foreign Language. I'm majoring in English. In addition, I've been studied French. Now, I'm going to tell you about my university life.

I have to wake up early in the morning. I go school by train, which is crowd. I have to transfer to the Houhi Line at Kumamoto station. It takes about an hour or an hour and a half from my house to my university. The morning is hard time for me. Sometimes, I oversleep, so I miss the train, and then I rode on the bus at Kumamoto station.

I have 14 classes in this semester. It’s reading, writing, listening, speaking, French, Japanese history, Japanese modern history, Western history, American history, law, linguistics, cultural anthropology, Overseas training course, and international society and Japan. Almost all the classes are about English. I like English and I'm interested in languages. I study hard these subjects everyday.

My favorite class is overseas training course. I visited Minnesota in America as a part of the class to participate in a home stay program. It was so fun and useful to increase my knowledge. This experience will be the best memory in my university life. I want to visit there again.

My favorite day is Monday, because I have only 2 classes. So I can do my homework on free time. I always use computer at a library every Monday. In addition, I don’t have to wake up early on Monday, because the class starts at second period. I enjoy the Monday.

On the other hand, I always worry about a lot of homework. I don't like homework, especially Power Words, book reviews, and typing homework. I haven't enough time to do homework, so I'm impatient with homework. However I believe that it’s useful for my future. I'll do my best.

I have a dream. I hope to become a flight attendant in the future since I was a child, because when I rode on a plane, I was ached my ears. Then, one flight attendant helped me. In addition, flight attendant can trip all around the world. I'm interested in foreign countries. So I want to be a flight attendant. In order to become one, I have to study more during the university student. I need not only to improve my English skill, but also to acquire cultures. I especially want to speak English fluently.

After all, I enjoy my university life, because I have a lot of friends. They help me when I was in the trouble. I appreciate their cooperation. In addition, they always make me laugh, and happy. I like chatting with them. They are my precious friends.

Sometimes, I go to downtown or Movie Theater with my friends after school. I like to go there. When I spend my time with friends, I feel so happy. In addition, I often go to cafeteria and book store at KGU with my friends. It’s also happy time for me.

As you can see, my university life isn't only busy, but also fun. The university life is important experience. I can study a variety of subjects. There are a lot of chances to learn what I don't know. Moreover, I can communicate with friends, teachers, and other people. I want to enjoy my university life from now on too.
