Winter vacation is around the corner! Do you have any plans? I don't have special plan,but I'm really looking forward to it. All I have to do is to come to university for three days! Then,there is a paradise! We have a winter vacation for about two weeks. We have a some events at the end of the year. Christmas,New Year's Eve,and New Year's Day.
I will have a Christmas party with my family so I have to go back my home as early as possible because I have to decorate a Christmas tree. Without a Christmas tree,it isn't Christmas for me.
Next,we take a New Year's Eve. I will eat many foods entirely. And I spend a leisurely time with my family. We stay up for new year then we go to bed. Next day, on New Year's day,we get up at 8:00 or 9:00,then we go to greeting for our relatives,go to shrine,and go to shopping.
I have many things that I want to do,I hope I can have a good time with my family.

its cold
Although I wan born in winter,I'm not a fun of it especially here in Hirosaki.See,in China we have heater in every single room.So although it's cold outside,when you get home you'll be warm.But here in Hirosaki,I have only one heater in the living room.So the other rooms are only about 5 degrees.I haven't cooked for myself in like a month.I just hope the spring will come soon.
Enjoyable events
The winter vacation is drawing near! I have been looking forward to it for a long time. There are some reasons why I am thinking so. First, I can return to my family home. I have not seen my family's faces for about four months. So, I want to see their cheerful faces. Second, I need not do a lot of housework. For example, washing clothes, cleaning rooms, preparing meals, and so on. I am sometimes tired of doing them and neglect to study. So, I want to devote myself to study in winter vacation. Third, I can spend Christmas and New Year's Day with my family. I usually spend these events with my family every year. So, I'm happy to spend them with my family this year, too! Finally, I can meet my friends. At the end of this year, they certainly return to their family home. So, I want to enjoy playing and talking with them!
Be a early riser
I always believe that getting an early start on the day is the best way to go. You have the opportunity to get focused early on and tackle the day's tasks and projects with little to no distractions. Then, when the rest of the world wakes up, you're already a few hours ahead of the game.
There are many benefits of being an early riser, but the most important, long lasting and powerful effect of this is that you will grow an eye for the opportunities. You will learn how to wake up on something just before anybody else does, being it a career opportunity, a new relationship opportunity or just something that nobody sees yet. You will be trained to spot that subtle movement which will lead to something extraordinary. Since you've been already convinced of those benefits of being an early riser, it's time for you to start doing it.
Don't make drastic changes. Start slowly, by waking just 15-30 minutes earlier than usual. Get used to this for a few days. Then cut back another 15 minutes. Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.
Put your alarm clock far from you bed. If it's right next to your bed, you'll shut it off or hit snooze. Never hit snooze. If it's far from your bed, you have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you're up. Now you just have to stay up.
Make waking up early a reward. It might seem at first that you're forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you make it pleasurable, soon you will look forward to waking up early. Find something that's pleasurable for you, and allow yourself to do it as part of your morning routine.
Take advantage of all that extra time. Don't wake up early and waste that extra time. Get a jump start on your day!

The Darwin's theory of evolution
I’m interested in the evolution of life. I have attended the lecture about the Darwin’s theory of evolution since the beginning of second semester and I got the basic knowledge. So I will introduce it.
The first thing is just the Darwin’s theory of evolution. It is said the theory of natural selection. It can be explained by the example of giraffes. How did the neck of giraffes get longer and longer? The long neck is good to get and eat leaves on high trees. The theory shows that only the giraffes that have relatively long neck survived and the characteristic genes were passed from generation to generation. In short, the giraffes that can eat the leaves on the high tree have a greater probability of survival than that can not. As a result, the number of the children of the former gets larger and larger on the whole.
Another theory is the Lamarck’s theory of evolution. It is said the theory of use and disuse. This theory says that, in a giraffes’ lifetime, the harder they tried to crane their neck, the longer their neck got, and the acquired genes were passed from generation to generation. In other words, by trying to adapt to the environment, the organs of their body that are frequently used improved and the new genes were passed to the next.
The crucial difference between the two theories is where the characteristic genes come from. The potential genes they keep naturally are passed in the theory of natural selection. On the other hand, the genes they catch during their life are passed in the theory of use and disuse. In fact it got clear that the former theory is correct by after studies. In conclusion, the one who has naturally the body suitable for that environment can only survive and leave offspring. I studied this theme and felt it drastic and wonderful.

HTV
Do you know HTV? HTV is a Japanese space ship carrying things to International Space Station (ISS). Until now, almost all things for ISS are carried by Space Shuttle (the United States) and Soyuz (Russia). But Space Shuttle is going to retire on June 2011. So, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) made H-2 Transfer Vehicle (HTV) to carry to ISS.
HTV is launched with H-2B rocket. After launched, it cruses to ISS automatically and dock with ISS using robot arms of ISS.This is a new technology. So, HTV must be very reliable transfer vehicle, and very high technology is needed. After carry things to ISS, HTV retry and burn with garbage of ISS.
In 2009, the first HTV completed all the missions. And, the second HTV will be launched in January 2011. HTV may be used to carry people to the space in the future. So, I hope the success of it.

my trip to Iwate
Hello everyone, tonight I'd like to talk about the trip to Iwate I made this week-end!
First, I had to wake up at 6 am on saturday, and believe me when I'm telling you that is a thing I hate the most, being forced to wake up early in the week-end ;) , but because it was for a travel I could handle it, and promised me to sleep in the bus.
It was really difficult to ride our bikes from the International House to the station, with this awful cold, and trying to follow 3 Chineses who don't feel the rudeness of the temperature, and who love riding very fast even with a cold wind isn't a simple thing to do !!
We were about twelve Hirosaki students to leave for Iwate : 5 chinese and 2 corean friends, my Caro chan, some japanese girls and my good friend, Kohei sempai ^^ (even if he's younger than me I call him like this for the fun)! I was astonished to see him when I got in the bus !!
When we arrived, we first introduced ourselves, then started the activities : we played games like "paper, scissor, stone" (in a 3 people team, whose members had to stand on a sheet of a newspaper, to fold it in 2 when they lost at "paper, scissor, stone" and were eliminated when they finally couldn't stand on it), we did some pantomimes (Kohei was really funny on stage), and we had lunch !
The cafeteria food was so good, and as it was included in the price we had to pay for the trip, we could eat as much as we want, and I didn't deprive myself from this ! I ate to much for sure, I'm certain to weight 2 kgs more than before the trip ! There was this excellent miso soup, and such a good rice too ! the noodles weren't that bad either, but the fish was the best (even in the morning, for a european girl like me, such a breakfast was delicious)! It was also the first time I ate some nattô, and I can tell I don't appreciate it particularly, I dind't finish it.
After the lunch, we were supposed to write a story about some picture we chose. My team selected a picture about a family sitting around the breakfast table, which is full of food ! We decide to describe each member's dreams: the father got a promotion, so there are plenty of foods on the table, the mother wants a new dress, the boy wants a new toy, and the grandma wants to be young again to have a new handsome husband ! Unfortunately, our team didn't win the price !
After the diner, we went to the bath (very hot !) and then began to sleep at 10h20 pm. On the morning, we had to clean the rooms (and the bathroom), then it was breakfast time. I had to wake at 6h30, I was so tired but happy because it was warn in the room (unlike in the kaikan)!
When the breakfast was over, we finished the story, exposed it, and then say hello to our dear friends for Iwate and Akita universities. On the way back, Kohei, Yuki and I decided to stop a moment in Morioka to visit the mall !! It was really big, but I didn't buy anything.
We came very late by the next bus, and it was already 22h25 when I finally reached the kaikan !! I was exhausted but very happy to have done this trip, because I made some new friends, and had fun with them ! wonderful experience !!!!
backgammon
Backgammon is one of my favorite board games. It is said that there are about 300 million backgammon players around the world.
Do you know backgammon? It is played with 30 pieces, 2 dice and 2 players. At the start, both players throw a dice and a player who gets higher number can move his/her pieces. This is the end of the first turn. And next, the opponent throw two dice and move his/her pieces. After this, both players do this in turn. At the end, a player who move all dices to goal faster is a winner.
Fate is on of the factors how to win the game because of using dice, but thinking is more important to win the game.
I like backgammon because I need both good luck and smart brain.

The thalidomide scandal
I'm sorry about to delay submitting homework.
Next, this is the structural formula of thalidomide. It cause terarogenicity, however, in fact, all of them always don't cause teratogenicity because of optical isomer. Optical isomer is that molecular configurations are same. But their relations are like between right hand and left hand. Such a few difference causes terarogenicity. Those two molecular can be divided by new technology now.
Today, medicines help us in various cases. We can't imagine the daily lives that there are no them. They are very useful. However, They are often harmful. These facts are important and very interesting for me majoring in chemistry. "The thalidomide scandal" is the one of damage from medicines. I want to tell about influence of chemical substances against human bodies through the example.
First of all, I have to explain "The thalidomide scandal". In 1957, thalidomide was made as a sedative drug by a German company. It was used as a excellent medicine because it had little side effects. It was also made use of to inhibit morning sickness. However, nobody knew it has teratogenic effects. As a result, many children was born with deformities such as phocomelia.

Optical isomer is that molecular configurations are same. But their relations are like between right hand and left hand. Such a few difference causes terarogenicity. Those two molecular can be divided by new technology now. Finally, medicines can make people happy or unhappy. If we use it correctly, it is very useful. For example, thalidomide is very useful for leprosy and cancer patients. I think not only people who manufacture medicines but also others should be careful about them.

3,000,……,000?
My favorite books are "The Dream-Science Guide" series written by Rikao YANAGITA. These books say what the writer tested and calculated about animation characters.
There are an interesting subject in the 8th part of the series. It is nearly these content.
It is said that his IQ is 400, so he is a great genius at least in
3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people.
3,000,......,000 is 3 followed by 114 zeros (3*10^114) ! However, even the number of molecules in the galaxy is smaller than the number.
My eyes were caught by them. Then I thought like that ; How was it called more easily in English? and I felt like knowing, so I researched naming of large numbers (in the Wikipedia on 12/15 wed.). But I could find from million to just Googol (10^100).
And large numbers in America are not same as ones in Europe. I couldn't get enough information to call this number in American ways.
Any way, it is called 300 septdecillion (100*10^112) in Europe. I'm satisfied.
