Hard day :(

Last Saturday was hard day for me. I got up at 8:00, and I prepared to go to my work place because I have to take part in the meeting. The meeting started at 9:00. First, I and my co-workers improved a flower bed in front of our restaurant. Then, we planted flowers, so there are beautiful pansies now. After that, we held meeting inside the restaurant. The head of the restaurant told us a variety of things about our duties. I thought I tried to work harder. After the meeting finished, I went home.

When I went back home, I ate brunch at 10:30. I studied for an hour because I was going to take Japanese Test. At 12:00, I left for home to KGU. At 13:00, I entered the room that the test was held. I was so nervous because it was insufficient to study for the test. Before the test started, I listened to my favorite music to calm my mind. The test started at 13:30. I did my best. Some questions were difficult for me, but I thought very hard. The test finished at 14:30. I don't know whether my answers are correct or not, but I would like to pass it!

After that, I went home again and relaxed for a while. I watched TV. At 16:30, I went to my work place because I have to work from 17:00 to 21:00. I was already tired, but I work hard. As soon as I finished my part-time job and went home, I went to bed. This is why the day was very hard day for me.

My part-time job & colleagues

I introduce my part-time job. I work as a waitress at a family restaurant. My jobs are welcoming guests, ushering guests to the seats, receiving orders, carrying dish, accounts and clearing the tables. Making desserts is also my job. I have worked part-time for a year. I usually work in evening, but I sometimes work at noon on Saturday and Sunday. I work at a restaurant in the country, so most of guests are local people. I can talk a lot with them. Sometimes, I’m so busy and tired, but I think my work is worth doing.
I get along with my colleagues and bosses. They are very kind, and they teach me what I don’t know. I am on good terms with colleagues of the same generation. We sometimes go out with them on a holiday. Last summer, we went to the sea in Amakusa. We swam and played with a float. I also enjoyed watching DVD in the car while we left for the sea. We stopped at a rest station on our way home. We had dinner. I ate an octopus pilaf there. It was delicious.

I sometimes go bowling with them. We often use an amusement park called “Round 1.” I was not good at bowling first, but I became well slowly. I could get strike four times, so I was so happy. When someone got a strike, we high-five and were pleased. I thought that I could get along better with them through like this chance.

In May 11th, I went to eat out with three colleagues. We went to a restaurant in downtown. We ate pizza, salad, spaghetti, and so on. They were very delicious. We promised to go to eat out with all of members next time. I had a good time, and I want to there again.

My Spring Vacation

    I'm writing about something to do during spring vacation.
    First, I worked part-time very hard. I work as a waitress at a family restaurant. I usually work in evening, but I sometimes worked at noon because I don't have to go to school during spring vacation. I was not very busy from Monday to Friday, but I was very very busy on Saturday and Sunday. There were a lot of customers on weekend. Between taking orders, serving dish and clearing the tables, I was very busy and tired.
    Second, I went to driving school. I had wanted to go there before, I finally went there because I had enough time. I was so nervous when I drove a car for the first time. It is difficult for me to drive a car, but thanks to my instructor, I have driven better and better. All staff and instructors of the driving school were very kind, so I enjoyed commuting to the driving school. I have to receive official approval on Saturday. If I pass it, I can graduated from the driving school. After that, I will go to license center, and I will have to take an examination to get a car license. If I get a car license, I want to go for a drive!
   Lastly, I cleaned my room. My room is in an awful mess, so my family said, "Your room looked like a pigpen!" I was shocked to hear what they said, so I decided clean my room. I tidied up clothes and  textbooks. I picked up trash, and I vacuum-cleaned the room. I changed to a different set of clothing while I cleaned the room. I hope to keep my room ordered!
