Looking back on my fun American life

I was very scared about American life such as food, home stay, speaking, class and so on before I came to America. However my anxiety disappeared as soon as I arrived in America because there are a lot of fun things in my dormitory, at my host family's house, in class and in Commons.

My dormitory has full of laughter. We are very friendly with each other. We especially always enjoy our tutorial together because of my RA's good ideas. At first, it was difficult for me to speak only English during the tutorial but recently I thought I speak a lot during the tutorial, more than before. Yesterday, we played vocabulary game in English. It was very exciting and interesting. My RA always prepares fun things for tutorial.

I also was worried about American food before I came but it was no problem because Commons food is good. My weight shows it. My weight has increased more and more so I need to exercise. My weight upsets my schedule. I often enjoy exercising in gym after class with my friends. It is one of my pleasures in America. My host family's food is very very delicious!!! My host mother and father make a lot of foods such as spaghetti, Mexican foods, cake and other kinds.

Before coming I was also worried about my home stay because we hadn't decided my home stay family when I was in Japan. My home stay family took 3 students plus me. I was happy when I heard it. Two weeks ago, I had home stay. It was very fun!!! I felt I came back to my house in Japan and I was very comfortable. We have also home stay this weekend. I have been looking forward to this day since I had home stay at the first time. I can't wait for my host family to come in front of my dormitory.

I had a very very good time for 2 months so I hope that this life will continue for a long time. I want to enjoy everything more and improve my English skills a lot.
