Cold..

It has become colder and colder in Toronto.
I think it is as cold as the coldest time in Tokyo.
The colder it becomes, the harder it becomes for me to get up early in the morning...

I said that I like the atmosphere in the early morning, but it does not mean that I like getting up early.
I sometimes get up very early even if I do not intend to do so.
To be in the bed and spending time without thinking anything is also my favorite.
It becomes better if there is some music.

Music always dncourages me.
I wonder how many times it helped me since I came to Toronto.

I am going to sing Messiah before Christmas!!
I have wanted to sing it for a long time :)
To be unable to have time to sing has been one of sources to make me stressed..
It is impossible for me to sing as loud as I want to do in my room, but I am really looking forward to singing in a large number of people and going to practice hard!!

In the morning

I got up too early this morning, it was 3am when I woke up.
I love the atmosphere of the morning.
Very quiet and everything seems to be moving slowly.
Especially in winter, I feel the air is so that I am afraid that it may absorb me.

I think it is true that the early bird catches the worm though I am not as pretty as birds flying in the sky.

First article

Hello, world :)
I'm Hitomi. I am in Toronto now and studying linguistics at U of T as an exchange student.
I created this blog so that I can write what I felt and thought of here in English.
My English is very poor, so if you found some mistakes, please let me know secretly ;)

I am usually a very lazy person, but I'm going to make an effort to keep writing something in English here..

Well, two months and a half have passed since I came here.
I sometimes wonder if I changed in some ways.
I do not know how my friends around me and in Japan think of me, but I am sure that something is changing in myself.
Unfortunately, I cannot explain the feeling in words.
I don't mean I cannot express it in English. Even I try to put it in Japanese, it is almost impossible for me to do so.

Recently I strongly think I should have more chance to talk in English.
My speaking skills don't seem to be improved since I came here..
But I think listening has got a little better, because it has become easier for me to understand what teachers say in classes.

... To be honest, I am very very sleepy now, because I got up at 5 this morniing.
You may think I am crazy. yup, it is true!
But I love getting up early, and hate to be in hurry.
For me the most important thing is that spending everyday without making haste.
I love being "slow". haha

Anyway, I will go to bed early today. I hope I can have good dream!
