Winter's coming!

おはいよう!(or こんにちわ or こんばんわ)

ケスビックです。よろしくおねがいします!

5S5はおげんきですか? =)

ひらがなとカタカナをかきます(かんじはかきません)。すみません、みんな。

Translation:

Good morning! (or "good afternoon", or "good evening")

Kesvick here. Nice to meet you!

How is 5S5 doing? =)

I'm writing in hiragana and katakana (no kanji). Sorry, everyone.

Well, that was the best of my translating from taking classes in my university's Japanese program. I'm kinda liking it though, it's fun to learn new languages.

Sorry again, I haven't been able to contribute as much as I have been able to, partly because I'm still rather shy around this (admittably), partly because I was afraid that if I started posting here I would somehow make this my personal blog. Hopefully, that won't happen, and I'll try and post some relevant content for the class blog.

Well, I attached a picture of how I look in the USA right now. I could post it on Facebook, except for 2 very important (some would say critical) points: 1. I don't have Facebook 2. I don't think I am going to be getting an account without incentive. I was gonna ask how do I look, but that would make it seem rather egocentric and sad.

Oh well...it's me trying out some tricks picked up from my kitty. Meh...

Anyways, over here, 'tis the season of fall. Frost has started settling over the leaves and grass. If you squint hard you can see frost on the leaves. Still, I was walking around with my camera and I came across a rose bush that still had not wilted from the cold, so I took a picture. Winter will come soon...probably about 2-3 weeks away.

*contemplates what to write*

It's amazing how short a time has passed. I remember thinking that this was going to be a LONG year. Then, before I know it, 8 weeks have passed, and it seems as if all the settling-in, the getting-reacquainted-with-classes phases were only last week.

Ah well, I am talking in circles here. It's probably best to just stop here and save myself further embarassment.

ありがとうございます!さよんあら!

P.S. Where is Ter-Yi? It'd be nice to see him back on. As well as...you know, the others.
