Since we are advised to stay at home and not travel too far from home, Sam and I have been playing lots of Animal Crossing together. To progress in the game, we need to have new neighbors move into our islands. But we don’t want just any neighbors, we want cute neighbors! So, Sam and I have been looking all over Ogaki for Animal Crossing Amiibo cards. Sadly no electronics stores we have been to, have the cards in stock! Back home in the U.S. I had lots of these Amiibo cards. but was unaware that they would be so important to Animal Crossing! If only I had known, I would have brought them with me! Oh well, I don’t mind walking all over Ogaki and getting familiar with my new home! 

This is me and my neighbor Alice on a bench swing!

This is me with some friends from the U.S., Anthony and Jada!

This is me with my favorite neighbor, Zucker! He’s an octopus that has a takoyaki head! So cute!

毎日このニュースが報道されていますね。

日本でも著名人が感染したというニュースをよく見ます。

岐阜市や大垣市でもすでに感染者が出ていますね。

海外で活躍しているスポーツ選手はよくSNSを通して訴えています。

自分が感染しないためにも、自分の周りの人に感染させないためにも

行動を改めて考える必要がありますね。

Hey y’all! 

 Being stuck at home can be rather… boring. So today I would like to talk about the three easy steps I’ve taken to keep myself entertained. Number one, I charged my Nintendo Switch. Number two, I downloaded Animal Crossing. Number three, I HAVE ONLY PLAYED ANIMAL CROSSING! You see! 3 easy steps to keeping busy during these COVID-19 times. I’ve even grown 5 types of fruit! Oranges, apples, peaches, pears and cherries! If only I could do those things in real life… 

 Anyways… Stay safe out there y’all and see you in two weeks! 

 Me today! Nikki and I My boyfriend and I My neighbors Axel, Annalise, Puck, Muffy and Bubbles! 

新学期のスタート、さらに延長することになってしまいましたね…。

おうちで過ごす時間が長いと、ついダラ～っとしてしまう生徒の皆さんも多いのでは？？

分かります、気分もなんだか上がらないし…って思っちゃいますよね。

そんなときこそ！！！！！！！　体を！！！！！動かしましょう！！！！！！

バスタオル二枚分くらいのスペースがあればOKなので、おうちの中でも大丈夫！

Youtubeにはたくさんのフィットネス動画があるので、いろいろ試してみると楽しいかもヽ(・∀・)ノ

ちなみにわたしは、Facetime（ビデオ通話）を使って遠くに住む姪っ子たちと一緒に

踊るのが最近の楽しみです！　ダイエットにもなりますし！←

決まった動きでなくても、好きな音楽に合わせて踊るだけでも◎だと思います！

ひとりひとりが前向きな気持ちを持つことを心がけられると、きっといいことがあるはずです！
