Introduction

こんにちは！　ぼくのなまえは　むらやまです。　ノトルダムのにねんせい　です。　いま　せんこうは　いがくです。I am also considering a supplementary major in にほんご。　ぼくは　アメリカじんです。 ハワイイから　きました。Sadly, I may not be able to call Hawaii home for much longer. My family is moving to Pennsylvania.

Hey everybody. If anyone is wondering about the name I am using for my blog, it is actually my middle name. The name actually comes from my late grandfather, who also bore the same middle name. Perhaps that is the reason I am so interested in the Japanese language and culture. Despite the fact that i am only 25% Japanese, I will always bear Japanese last name. I'm not one of those people that watches a lot of anime or anything like that. In fact, the most Japanese i ever really hear is from watching Heroes. However, Japanese would be a very useful tool in Hawaii, my intended residence after schooling. A major tourist spot, Hawaii draws a lot of Japanese tourists, as well as a lot of Japanese residence. No matter what I choose for an occupation, if i end up in Hawaii, Japanese will be helpful.

As for the class, I am quite enjoying it. It's remarkable how fast we are progressing through the material. Can you believe it? I wait with bated breath for the day when I will be able to listen to a conversation in Japanese and understand what is going on. Hopefully this will happen sooner than later considering that I am interested in studying abroad.

I'm sure this wasn't all too insightful, but I hope you enjoyed it a little bit. Until next time :)　じゃ　まった！
