Actually we have same one in Osaka Japan but i have never been there so it was my first timeto go there. Oh my gosh it was awesome! I, Chrystin and Curtis was acting like 10 or something.LOL There was not that crowded as we expected so we arrived at there about 11 ,it was kinda late but we could enjoy enough. At first we went into "" and oh my gosh it was so scary... I kept screaming and holding Chrystin's arm whole time. It was just so scary!!!!!!!!!! Just try it!!!!!

June 9 2005, I finally made it. I graduated Barstow high school as one of class of 05 seniors. It was just the thing I'd been dreaming and it finally became come true. I don't even know what should I write cuz I'm still so excited and also I still cannot believe actually I could do this.

9th, in the morning at 7:30, we seniors 05 got together at the field to do practice of graduatation celemony. Everything was just so defferent from Japanese one so I was making sure every moment with my friends help. I think it took about 2 houes or 3 hours, we finally finished up and then I and Brady, Maren went to visit some friends and teachrs to aske for signing our yearbook. After that, we went home and got ready for our BHS graduation.

5:45, we gopt together again at the boys gym. I don't know why but I just couldn't help my heart bumping so fast. I was so nurvous abd also so excited!!

7:00PM, finally our graduation celemony started. There was a lot of people on the stand and I coldn't find my family... we sat down the middle of the football field and it got started. Nadine, Tana, Jessica and everyone who did speech was jsut so great and those actually made me cry a little bit. The sky was getting darker and darker and finally the time that every graduates get on the stage. I was freakin' nurvous while watting for my turn and I was saying "Oh my gosh I'm almost throwing up!!". My turn came. Mr. Baily called my name and then I got on the stage. I cannot even remember what I did on the stage but I absolutely remeber that everyone was calling my name like "go Nori!!!". I was really really happy at that moment. It was jsut a moment like less that 1 minute but I swear it was the one of greatest moment in my life. After I got off from the stage, some of my friends ran into me and gave me huge hugs. How can I say... it was jsut really sweet moment ever. I really thanked to my Japanese Parent that make this moment possible.

It was the greatest graduation ever. Now i'm really proud of myself and and also proud of everyone who helped me in my school life.

CONGRATULATIONS BARSTOW HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 05!!!!!!!!

My high school life in America is just only one day left. Tomorrow is our class 05's graduation...
Now I cannot even think about it but when I stand the middle of the field, I'll might realize how much I have grown here and how much I'm gonna miss everything I've done here. I don't know what's gonna happen on me tomorrow. I have absolutely no idea. But I'm really sure I'm gonna cry cry and cry. My high school life, it was not only fun memories. Some of them were sadness I had never felt and some of them were anger I had never gotten. But what I can say now is every memories including those is gonna be unforgettable one in my future and those are gonna help me to achieve anything sad anything hard in my future. I'm really sure.
Well tomorrow after the graduation I'm leaving to Diesneyladn so I don't think I can be on the computer. So today, now, I wanna say thank u to everyone who make my high school life in America possible. Mommy Daddy and my brother Yusuke and my host family especially my lovin' sister Chrystin and my friends here especially Maren and Brady and my firends in Japan especially Nagomi!!! I couldn't make it without u guys's help. I'm always proud of all of u guys. I love u so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!

So last lunch at BHS, yes, I enjoyed it as usual. We didn't do anything special but it was actually good for me cuz if we did something which mean graduation, I would be able to cry or something. In the 4th period,I had a Econ' final earier than other classes cuz we have presentation next week. I couldn't finish in the class as I expected so I spent 5th too to finish up. After I'm done, I passed my yearbook to my friends and I was signing on my friends'. It was really fun time and actually I made a new friend named Sara. She was really cool and kinda hyper and surprisingly, just kept asking question question question and quesiton about Japan forever or something. I really hope we could meet earlier cuz it would be so much fun hungin' out with her.
Well today, after school, I got a date till leave for orientaion. I have no idea what we are gonna do but hopefully we are gonna watch movie!! Well so oriantaion is this weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kaori!!!!!!!

Well I haven't written last 5days or so...cuz I was kinda busy!! Last Saturday to Monday, we had three days weekend cuz Monday was memorial day (what day is this??lol) Chrystin was working on Saturday and Monday so I went to silverLake on Sunday with Chrystin, mom, Curtis and Parker. Actually it kinda sucked cuz I got car sick a little bit on the way to there cuz tha load was terrible...the car turned left and next moment, it was turning right..it kept happening forever... Not only me, Parker was getting sick too and his face was like dying or something. Well, on the way to arrow head, I got new kinda scary experience!! Chrystin got caught!!! She didn't show her number plate back of the car cuz she forgot to fix it after the accident. While plice car was following our car, my heart was kinda bumping. "what did u do Chrystin!!!!" But that policeman was really kind and nothing was really scary. She got ticket or something (I don't drive so I don't know how important it is though...). Well after that we stop at the top of the hill and ate lunch which was riceball and sandwichies we made. It was really good to eat in freash air and I and Parker got much better there. Well IT happend after the lunch. We got lost so bad!!!!! We didn't even know where we were cuz we didn't have a map for that complecated town. What we did next is...go back to home!!!!!lol We just gave up to stop at lake after the lunch and left Silver Lake about 3PM. Well here was dumest trip ever!!!LOL
And Tuesday, dum thing happend again. Monday nite, I thought senior luncheon was Tuesday so I was sleeping till 10 next morning. After we got up, I and Chrystin dressed up for that and got ready compeltetly. And guess what?!! I checked my cell and I got message from Brady. It said...."senior luncheon is tomorrow!!"...."dang..." I went to school after that and talked friends that I thought senior luncheon was today. Everyone was laughing so hard but Frankie seemed just remember something. Actually he said it!! I mean he said senior kuncheon is on Monday!! I just believed that so that's why it happened. Dang Frankie, good job....
So today was seniorluncheon. It was freakin' 3 hours long and boring so bad. I and Chrystin was like "well, someone please shoot me right now..."lol But guess what I got one award!! It was my computer class and no expecting cuz I didn't thinkg I'm doing that well in that class. But well, why not? I got award so I'm really happy now!!!
