My life has become less complicated. Waking up in the morning, watching TV, reading newspapers, taking a nap, reading books, sending emails, having meals regularly, going to bed etc窶ｦ That窶冱 all what I do in these three days. It could be said that I am relaxing too much. It is not productive. I believe that the holidays should be unproductive though. In addition, I have had really usual New Year holidays. Today I watched one of the most famous and popular road races in Japan; Hakone. It is two days race; the first day runners start Tokyo to Hakone, then, the second day runners come back to Tokyo. Although it is five-hour long TV program on each day, I watched all of them. It was like 11 hours. That was fun. But it would be unproductive.

Some would say that I have been doing nothing but relaxing. Actually and unfortunately, it cannot be helped agreeing them for me. Moreover, I don窶冲 have to do every household because my mom will do. I do know it is a wrong idea. This idea has supported the violation of the women窶冱 rights. However, since my mom tells me that I don窶冲 have to do that, I tend to depend on this structure. I am trying to help cooking, but she doesn窶冲 need it.

I am wondering how my colleagues who came to Coe together are doing. I guess most of them are traveling somewhere in the United States. I talked to one of them this morning through the messenger. He is in North Carolina with his friend. My friend who belongs to the swimming team is in Hawaii as a part of the club activity. Some are in New York or Chicago or Washington D.C. Then, I am in Japan.
I am really looking forward to hearing their stories that they had during the vacation. I believe they have had kind of unusual/amusing/unexpected experiences.

I will also travel around the States after the next semester. My dad recommended me to go New Orleans since he felt atypical American tastes there. I don窶冲 know if it is still true, it was some 20 or 30 years ago, but it is not a bad idea to go there, because New Orleans could be a final destination; my plan is to go Bill Clinton窶冱 Presidential Library, Arkansas, then, visit the King Center, Georgia.
I would like to come to the states as a work again in the future, so I might not visit big cities like New York or Los Angels; I will visit there definitely within the decades. I窶况e got excited to think about my plan after the semester. Needless to say, in order to have a good travel, I should spend a productive unregretful semester first of all. Hence, I will justify the values of this unproductive vacation. It is necessary to have a good semester.
