わたしのしゅうまつ わたしはどようびにじゅうじにおきます。 それから,しょくどうでひるごはんをたべます。 ひるごはんのあとで、とぶとひごうきをします。 ろくじごろにひるごはんをたべます。 それから、べんきょうをします。 それかり、パーチイーをいきます。 わたしはにちようびにいちじゅうじにおきます。 それから、12にとしょかんをいきます。 それから、くじにあにめをみます。 いちじにねみます。 ありがといございます！

 Konnichiwa! My favorite anime that I am currently watching now is Solo Leveling. Here is a link to watch it: https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GDKHZEJ0K/solo-leveling. I think it is exciting to watch and something I look forward to watching every Saturday, the day that new episodes come out every week. It would definitely be worth a watch if you watch anime! Sayoonara!  

 Konnichiwa! Today, I had the chance to make Origami and try out Kendama at the cultural fair in the Hesburgh Scholars Lounge! It was interesting trying Kendama, and it could be challenging as you try more skilled moves, as Fuse Sensee demonstrated. Origami was fun and relaxing, I made two shurikens during my time at the table. Overall it was a very positive experience!  Sayoonara!

 Konnichiwa! Watashi no namae wa Anderson-san. Boku no shusshin wa Kentucky no Louisville desu. Boku no daigaku wa Notre Dame no daigaku desu. Boku wa ninensee no daigakunsee desu. Boku no senkoo wa kokusaikankeegaku desu. Boku no shumi wa hikoki no soju desu.  Sayoonara! 

My favorite anime so fa r is Attack on T itan (進撃の巨人). I found episode 1 online; here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSNWdlHuVsA. This show brought me into Japanese culture, and this, being the first episode, really shows what is to come throughout the show. I watched it subbed in English and dubbed in Japanese, so hearing the language impacted how I try to speak it now. Also, it includes many cultural gestures and mannerisms that I would not have found if I hadn't watched the show. It is fantastic, and if you have the time, I recommend watching the whole series.  Jack Anderson

 Hello!  My name is Jack Anderson. I am a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame studying Global Affairs and Real Estate in Louisville, Kentucky. I live on the third floor of Sorin College. I like to spend time with friends, watch movies, and fly in my free time. I'm a Private (hopefully soon to be commercial) pilot, so I spend most of my time that isn't spent on school or working out, studying for a new license, and also flying!  I chose to study Japanese as I will be studying abroad in Tokyo at Sophia University in the spring of 2025. Before going, I should at least have a basic knowledge and understanding of the language and culture. Also, I love to watch anime and read manga, so knowing some Japanese will open some doors there!  Shitsuree Shimasu!
