I belong to the lacrosse club in the school, but my classmates retire on July31th, so I don't have club activity. So I'm going to practice the jamping roap for the school festival mainly when I come back to Japan. Other members of the group have already started to practice. According to them, it's harder than looks. So I have to do hard. I'm stretching every day for the present. My body is so hard. On the other hand, I'm going to study Spanish harder than before. I've been studying spanish since this April, but I don't remember the words which I learned well and skiped the test to come here. So I want to master at least the words I learned. Of course I'll study English harder as well. But actually what I really want to do first is seeing my dog, going to a salon and having my damaged hair cut.

After I will have come in Rome, I will stay with my friends, maybe we are going to a friend's house and stay there for a week. This week would include the 15th august because in Italy is a festivity which is celebrated with party everywhere.
Then I would go with my family somewhere, I really don't know that because my mother want to make me a surprise, however I think we are going to a place in Europe.
If I will not got abroad, I will go to my house at a beach near Rome, and I'll stay there for about 2 or 3 weeks.

On wednesday I will come back in Rome, and I will stay there for like 3 days. Then I will go to Sicily in a house of one of my friends. After that I will go to my grandparent's house with some of my friends to celebrate my mum's birthday. Then I really don't know what I'm going to do.
I think I will really miss this class.
Lorenzo
After this summer session, I will go back to Japan just a week and then come back to US. Since my school starts from August 14th, I cannot stay in Japan for a long time. However, I'm pretty sure that I will have fun in Japan, because I'm gonna get to see my friends and family again and eat a lot of japanese food. My school starts after one day I come back to Japan, so I think I'll be dead at first day of school by jet lag.
