Self Introduction

こんいちは。はじめまして、わたしのなまえは「ヒマン　リ」です。
かんこくからきましたでもいまコロンビアだいがくのがくせいです。
にねんせいです。じゅうきゅうさいです。エンジニアをべんきょうします。どうぞよろしくおねがいします。

Random Thoughts of the Moment

I will have to spend more time and effort on my blog to make it more きれい。
But ありがとう everyone for commenting on my blog! Even a がくせい from Virginia University commented on my last post (if I read the katakana correctly).

Right now at Columbia University there is a huge commotion because Ahmadinejad, the current president of Iran, is giving a speech at Columbia University. I was really scared about this yesterday because it started to cause an uproar even from last week. It's still a little crazy on campus, but I feel like it's not as bad as I expected it to be. There's just a lot of press and mild protests going on. I got to understand a lot more about the situation of Iran and its relationship with America through this event. Now I realize that since I am no longer a child, I should be more knowledgeable about world politics, or politics in general.

I hope I can concentrate in today's Japanese class! During my Japanese Civilzations class I was just reading the news feed on NY Times and the bwog about Ahmadinejab's speech.

学生の人生。。。

学生の人生はBUSYです！
宿題がたくさんあります。
I'm also busy because of all the クラブs.

I feel like I'm behind with all the work already.
Eventhough 日本語の宿題 is pretty simple for now, I can sense that it will become very むずかしい in the near future.

To calm myself in these situations, I listen to a lot of songs.
When I do homework, I like to listen to the Japanese Hip-Hop duo m-flo, because it pumps me up. Their song 『Tripod Baby』 is especially helpful.
Other Japanese artists that I like include Utada Hikaru, Nakashima Mika, and Mr. Children.
Everyone should try giving them a listen.

Well, I have to return to doing homework now.

じゃね！

初めまして、ヒマンです。
私はコロンビア大学の一年生です。
韓国から来ました。
よろしくお願いします。


I'll be using this blog to record my stories about learning Japanese and anything else that I want to talk about.　I'm still in the process of learning the language so please excuse all my mistakes. I'm learning Japanese now because I'm fascinated by my neighboring country and it would be nice to be able to communicate whenever I visit.

じゃねみんあ。
