Hardly Can Wait For Halloween

Recently I am really looking forward to Halloween. During tutorial, my RA Lolo, my group members and I sometimes talk about Halloween. On Tuesday, we made our own jack-o'-lantern made of real pumpkins. It was the first time to make it for me. First, I drew a face on the pumpkin where I wanted to cut which I picked up it by myself. I hesitated to draw it because I didn't want to draw one similar to that of other people. However, I drew a face which was a little ordinary because I had to think about whether it would be easy to cut or not. Mine looked sad and a little scary. Second, I cut out the top of my pumpkin to scoop out the inside. I was a little scared to cut it out because I thought and might cut myself. It was difficult to cut it out because the pumpkin was very hard. Third, I scooped out the inside of my pumpkin by using a big spoon. I was tired because it was also hard working. Fourth, I cut it the shape pf the face. I could do it better than I expected. After that, we arranged our own pumpkins outside, and we took pictures of them and put some electric flashlights in them. I enjoyed looking at them because all of them had different faces. After that, Lolo baked seeds of our pumpkins. We ate the seeds with salt, sugar and cinnamon. I didn't know that the seeds would be so delicious!

Halloween is coming soon, next week! Recently, we also talked about our costumes for Halloween. On this weekend, we are going to buy some stuff for our costumes. I can't tell about is any more because I want to keep our costumes a secret. However, it will be nice! I want to enjoy Halloween because it is not so common in Japan. I am really looking forward to Halloween!

Feverish Card Game

In tutorial, our group members, my RA Lolo and I played 'Pit' last Thursday. 'Pit' is a kind of popular card game in America. First, eight people can play the game. Second, all of the number of cards are seventy-four. There are eight kinds of variations of the game which include wheat, sugar, soybeans, oranges, oats, corns, coffee and barley. Third, a person deal all of the cards to each of eight people. The participants have to gather similar cards by passing cards to other people. If a person gathers all of the same kind of cards, the person has to ring a bell. When one of the participants ring the bell, the game is stopped. Fourth, the game also has two special cards. one is a bull card. This card can be any kind of cards. For example, if you have eight oats cards and one bull card, you can ring the bell, and win. In brief, a bull card is a lucky card. Another card is a bear card. This is an unlucky card. When the game finishes, the person who has the card loses. I mean, if you get the card, you have to pass it with another person as often as you can.

When we played the card game, we were eleven people. I mean, three people couldn't participate, so lost person when out of the game and the extra person came in. When the game started, I was so excited. My hands were shaking, and my heart fluttered with excitement. I got into a panic because I had to pass cards quickly. We played it again and again, and we enjoyed it very much. I won the game twice though I lost once at the end of the tutorial. We will play with the card game again because we like it very much.
