new blog!!

Hello,friends and Mr.Richardson.
This is the first time I write this blog , so please let me introduce myself .

My name is Yurika Arita.
I'm from Niigata.
Do you know "Tenchijin", the last year's  period drama?
The stage of that drama is Niigata, and Niigata became more popular after it had stareted.
And Niigata is a very beautiful place with a lot of nature and sight spots.
We have a lot of snow in winter, so Niigata is famous for winter sports!
If you like skiing, you should come Niigata this winter!
Anyway, I love my hometown and now I really miss there.

I have several hobbies.
I like playing sports, especially karate. I've practiced it for about 10 years though I'm not good at it... Now I belong a karate circle in Waseda Univ. I'm not a good player, but I'll practice hard and do my best.
And I love calligraphy!! Calligraphy is part of my life and I cannot live without it! I've stareted it when I was 5or4 years old because my aunt and grandma was studying it. When I was a highschool student, I belonged calligraphy club besides karate club. I learned not only skills of calligraphy but also history of calligraphy and I was so interested in it!!  I once wanted to major in calligraphy in the university, but finally I decided to major in English because I'm interested in it for a long time and wanted to improve my ability to communicate in it.  Someday I want to teach calligraphy to foreign people using English, that is one of my dream :)


There are more things taht I want to write, but I'll write it next time...
If you check my blog, please comment me ;)

See you again★！
