Even know, I feel like they are still laughing with their friends. He was my friend's boy friend. So I was really worried about her. They were killed by traffic accident. I thought, friends dying is really sad and heavy thing. I was in New Zealand then, so I couldn't attend their funeral. I wish that they can sleep peacefully. I want all my friends and family to be careful for traffic accident.

My bus didn't coming!

Today's morning, I went to my bus stop as usual. But there were a lot of people. I wondered why are here such amount of people? Actually, they were all waiting bus. The bus was going to come at 7:30. But 7:32 bus didn't coming. So we had to get in 8:00 bus. It was too late to go first period class. But the way to university was not as crowded as usual day. So I could arrive university at 9:20. Now, I'm very tired because of long time waiting for the bus. In addition to this, I'm very sleepy, and hungry. I want to go home right now. I hate such as bus accident. So I want to buy my car. If I come to university by car, it takes 40 minute. But when I come to university by bus, it takes 90 minute. This is waste of time. So I work hard to save money to buy my car. Yesterday, I watched some used car on Internet. If I buy my car, I want to decorate the car cute, and load many CDs and MDs. I like to listen to music with driving a car. But now, I'm not good at drive cars. So I need to practice more and more.

In connection to this, my parents bought a new car. It was odessay. I like the car, but it was too big for me to drive.

August 5th "Sky Tower"

In New Zealand, I have to get up at six. It was same as in Japan. I felt very sleepy everyday. The activity of this day was to go to Sky Tower. The tower is the highest building in Auckland. We went there by school bus. When we arrived at sky tower, there were a lot of things which I wanted to take pictures of it. For example, a small model of Sky Tower, and a beautiful water fall, etc...

We used a lift to go to the top of Sky Tower. The floor of the lift was transparent glass, so we could see a scary scene. When we leach the top, we were very surprised. There were bis t transparent glasses, and we were surrounded by these. It was really wonderful view!

After that, we went to the sea. We had really good time there. On the way to Unitec, we could see Sky Tower. I couldn't believe that i had been there, because Sky Tower was very high.

In this after noon, we had an English class. We met two teachers, Yvonne and Michelle. After the class had finished, we went to a computer room. We had to made our blogs. I thought, "Do I have to do blogging again!?" I don't dislike blogging, but I didn't want to have two blogs!

On the way to home, I got on a bus for the first time. I was very nervous, because I didn't know how to get on a New Zealand bus. But the driver of the bus taught me how to get on buses kindly, and I could go a bus stop which is near my home. But I couldn't find the way home from the bus stop. So I asked a man, and he taught me the way. I could go back home.
