Good-bye September!

Today was the last day of September.
It has been raining since this morning. The rain has made the temperature lower, so I felt good all day, but my family said it was too cold. In fact, the weather forecast said the temperature of today is like that of the middle of November. I prefer winter, but for the growth of my cactuses I hope hot weather will last a little longer.

examination

I’m taking an English exam authorized by the Japanese government next month. So these days I’m busy preparing for it. I’ve realized that I need to extend my vocabulary because I can’t answer most of the vocabulary questions in it. There’s only three weeks left before I have it. Probably I won’t be able to memorize many words, but I don’t want to fail because it took me 6,800 yen to take the exam. Thanks to my homestay family and teacher who taught me English while being in Australia, I found it very interesting to study a foreign language, so for them I will pass the exam!
