Hiyori's Niigata Life

 The weather has been bad this week, and the school  has become an online class. So, I spent the whole day at home. Every day was boring because I had nothing to do. However, I had a lot of time, so I was able to proceed with the assignment. I had some reports to submit, but I was able to finish most of them. This gave me a sense of accomplishment and happiness. Also, it was nice to able to watch a lot of videos of my favorite artists and listen to their songs. Music is essential when doing my assignment.  It's still snowing as I write this, but I hope it doesn't snow too much.  I didn't have time to take pictures this week, so I will upload picture of beautiful sky on a very sunny day. Thank you for reading!

 Origami is a game unique to Japan. Origami is said to have originated in the Heian period, and the modern form of origami began around the Edo period. Origami is very interesting because you can make anythings from a single sheet of paper. Also, origami can be done not only by using special paper, but also by cutting unnecessary paper into squares. And, people of all ages can enjoy it, from children to the elderly.  However, some people say that origami is not good because it is difficult to fold. So, From now on, I will introduce an easy and interesting folding method.   I love origami since I was little girl. When I was in elementary school, there was a teacher who was very good at origami, and she taught me many ways to fold. After that, I fell in love with origami. I enjoyed folding various things. I would like to introduce how to make a crane known as this when speaking of origami. My cousin taught me how to make this crane. It's one of my favorite folds. ...

  I ate ice cream with my friend this week. I haven't eaten ice cream lately, so it was delicious. I like ice cream in summer, but I like ice cream in winter even more. Especially in winter, I want to eat Yukimi Daifuku. What is your favorite ice cream?  Also, this week at the school cafeteria, chiffon cake was on sale, so I ate it. The chiffon cake with cream looked so delicious so, I bought it. I love cream, so it was delicious.   And I got a present from my friends. I got it as a bnirthday present, but my birthday is not in January lol. But, I was happy to receive a wonderful present because every time I receive a present, it makes me happy. I would like to use it carefully. I want to thank my friends. Thank you!!! Thank you for reading!

 After winter vacation, classes started again. The weather has been good for the past few days and I feel very good. I like sunny days in winter because the air is clear. When I looked at the sky this morning, the moon was out in the blue sky. The moon in the daytime was also beautiful.  I had a day off this week, so I watched a lot of dramas. Every drama was interesting. But, as the test is approaching, I would like to concentrate on my studies.  Thank you for reading!

 I went back to my parent's house for winter vacation. In winter vacation, the whole family played Switch Sports. It was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed playing golf. But, I was so engrossed in playing that I got sore muscle lol.   On New Year's Eve, I ate Toshikoshi soba made by my grandmother. At my house, we eat soba made by my grandmother every year. I love this soba. It was delicious this year! It was nice to see my cousin after a long time.   The winter vacation wasn't very long, but we went shopping and ate a lot of delicious food and had a great time.  I want 2023 to be a good year, too. And, I want to do my best for another month and welcome spring vacation early.  the sky of my hometown Thank you for reading.
