ゴールデンウィークも半分以上が終わり、残り４日となりました！

今年は大型連休なので、部活や勉強、遊びなどの予定がたくさんあるかと思います。

長い休みが続くと、普段習慣にしていたことがストップしてしまうことがありませんか？

コツリスも同じで、５月は１日も見ていない！という人もいるかもしれません。

１度やらなくなってしまったことを、もう一度始めるのはとても大変です。

ずっと見続けている人も、見ていなかった人も、今日のコツリスを見てみましょう！

何事も「継続は力なり」です。

これからも毎日コツコツ頑張りましょう！

みなさん、Golden Weekをどうお過ごしですか？

最長で10連休のGolden Week。

旅行に行ったり、のんびりしたり。学生の皆さんの中には部活がある子も

いるのではないでしょうか。

そんなGolden Weekも今日でちょうど折り返しですね。

休み明けからまた気持ちを新たに頑張っていきましょうね!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Golden Week holiday! I am relaxing and catching up on a lot of reading. Since it’s been a little chilly and rainy this week (and not very Spring-y) it’s nice to just stay inside and drink something hot, but I hope to hear a lot of interesting travel stories when we have classes again!

Today is the beginning of the new era, and I’m really happy that I could be in Japan during this time. I am interested in politics and history, and the concept of a “new era” is very hopeful and positive! 

Hey y’all!

   Today I would like to talk about a very important Mexican-American icon named Selena Quintanilla. Selena was a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, model, actress, and fashion designer from Lake Jackson, Texas. They called her the “Queen of Tejano” music, and is considered to be one of the most important Mexican-American entertainers EVER. Born in 1971, Selena was specifically known amazing  music. Singing in Spanish and/or English, she was able to push Tejano music into the limelight. Not only was she a role model for Tejano musicians, she was also a role model for Latino Americans of any walks of life. Although Selena went on to win many awards for her music, she also won Best Mexican/American Album at the 1994 Grammy Awards. Again, this was a huge and important step into making Tejano music more recognizable in America. Unfortunately though, Selena was murdered by the president of her fan club in 1995… However, Selena continues to be a major icon in America, and her popularity continues to grow through every year.

   If you’re in the mood for some upbeat music, please check her out! She has a lot of great songs that will turn day from bad to good!

See y’all in class!
