This course was interesting.
Before this fall term started, I was worried about this course because it was mysterious. I mean I, or we didn't know about the class. other that reason, I was worried because I thought nothing would come out of me. But now i know that anxiety was in vain.
The class was very at home and I could experience a lot of things Ive never done before. I wrote a haiku as an assignment and a poem as my second piece for the first time and i wrote a personal writing and a short story in English for the first time, too. Creating something by myself is embarrasing to me but I think this experience is even better than no experience.
The most importantly, I started to keep a diary taking inspiration from this course.
I will keep my personal writings in the future.
Thank you all!

What I've learned in this course
Time went by so quickly in this term, and I can't believe that this course would be done. feel strange.
My first piece is about mother through my experience in my highschool days.
Second one is a poem about the personality or individuality. Some of us try to hide ourselves because being different makes it hard for us to live our lives smoothly and safely. But that is wrong, and we know real you can only make your life real. Being who you are is special. This is what my poem is all about and it's really connected to this course.
Third one is a short story about Engrish which is the irony for English Japanese people speak.
What I've learned from this course is free writing is very interesting!
I like free writing because it is related to what I'm thinking right now and it will enable us to recall what I was thinking at that time. This class inspired me to keep a diary, though it's in japanese.
Anyway, I had very precious time:)

My obituary
Hisashi Tsuchiya, resident of Ohio, America, passed away on 2073, at the age of 82, at a bar he used to go to.
Mr. Tsuchiya was born on the December 26th, in Tokyo. He moved to New Jersey as a young child with her loving family. Mr. Tsuchiya chose the life of holding a farmer taking inspiration from the beauty of country music and the nature. Until the retirement, he dedicated his life to making money for his wife and children. Before and after his retirement, he used to go to a bar and sing country songs with playing the guitar with his friends. He could not be famous as a singer, though he was locally loved, especially at the bar. Every day was not stimulating but he really enjoyed it.
One day, when he played songs with his friends, he suddenly got down and died srrounded by his friends espite being brought to a hospital because of heart attack.
At Mr. Tsuchiya request there is no service that is being held. Please send your condolences to the bar

Short Story
How Difficult Engrish is!
I am an American and working with a Japanese co-worker, who is awkward, doesn’t work well, and always brings problems to me. But they are usually tiny ones.
One day, he came into my office and said “A hose gets out of control. I don’t know what to do.”
“Here we go. This is him. Turn off the faucet” I thought to myself. “Ok, I can handle this”, I said back to him.
Then, the minute I opened the door to go outside, I noticed something hit me.
“This is a hoRse!” he screamed.

What is religion to me?
Speaking of "religion", I say Chiristianity, Islum, Judaism, Bhuddism and etc like big, popular religions. But in Japan, those religions are a minoriy, or religion itself seems unfamiliar with people.
Im taking Theme writing and one classmate wrote about the religion in Japan, or the difference between God and Kami(神). I forgot about the plot and I dont know anything about religion, but it exists in Japan like animism while the concept is different from other religions. So even though Im not religious, I might believe in the certain belief un conciously.
Basically, religions are for saving religious people from pain or suffering, I think. but wars have been happening and discriminations occur because of them sometimes. If it rubs people of hapiness, it is not necessary, I think. I mean some religious people misunderstand the real message, which is never to hurt people. religion itself is very intersting if it's not used in a wrong way.
But the situation is more complicated
Anyways, religion has had a huge impact on the politics, art, music, economy, the way people are. In terms of that, It is very interesting. I respect that.

Glee
Im so into Glee that is an American drama these days. I've never watched any American drama before because it is long like season 1~9 and I'll be tired from watching it because I have no concentration.
The highlight is absolutely Glee. They cover a variety of songs. from Journey, AC/DC, KISS, The Beatles to Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Cee lo Green or etc. Some people think original is the best, and I think that is fine. But some of these covers are also exciting because the casts can really sing well. I dont care if its original or cover and I'm sure these songs make you want to move.
This is one of the covers that is mashup from Umbrella by Rihanna and Singing in the rain by Gene Kelly.
I hope you'll like it!

My Second Draft
Invisible
I'm invisible.
No light, no shadow
I'm invisible.
No air, no sound
Nobody knows silent screams
I'm invincible.
No hurt, no pain.
They never get in the way of me
Because I'm invisible.
No facing, no escaping.
Emotions even ignore me.
When I speak, some will deny.
When I look, some will defy.
Bring tears, Brings fears.
But I'd rather live than exist.
Still I'm invisible.
But I'm not what I used to be.
Please comment:)
