Update, Update, Update!

Hello! It's been quite a while, yes? Ahh, I am sincerely sorry, these past couple weeks or so have been absolutely c-r-a-z-y! Not to mention, quarter exams are coming up next week (I can't seem to get a break around here haha). Anyway I thought I might update you all on some recent happenings. First and foremost, I have added some new listings to my my etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/RyokoPhotography?ref=si_shop) so go check those out. I have been getting more page views lately, according to my shop statistics, so I thought,  hey, why not add some more photos? So there you have it--moving on. I have been in contact with family members and friends, attempting to publicize these two (blog and etsy shop) fundraisers as much as possible. For a while, I was getting up to approximately 70 page views in a couple hours, which is totally fantastic! The views are really appreciated :). Keep up the good work, everyone! 

On another note, I have written a letter to my teachers advertising my sites, which I will hopefully be handing out shortly. Now, onto Japanese class. Three words: Oh. My. Goodness. My lovely little Japanese class has gone from cute tracing exercises to full on projects and 10-minute dictation tests in just a few days' time. I mean I always love a challenge, but oh did things escalate quickly! For my most recent project, we had to make a video talking about a picture of our family. Here's the script for mine (I apologize for any mistakes ahead of time):

Japanese translation:

はじめまして。わたしは Francescaです。これはわたしのかぞくのしゃしんです。かぞくはごにんです。ちちとははとあねとおとうととわたし。これはあねです。あねのなまえはGinaです。これはおとうとです。おとうとのなまえはStephenです。どうぞよろしく。

Romaji translation:

Hajimemashite. Watashi wa Francesca desu. Kore wa watashi-no kazoku-no shashin desu. Kore wa ane desu. Ane-no namae wa Gina desu. Kore wa otooto desu. Otooto-no namae wa Stephen desu. Doozo yoroshiku.

English translation:

How do you do? I'm Francesca. This is my picture of my family. My family has five people in it. Dad and mom and my older sister and my younger brother and I. This is my older sister. My older sister's name is Gina. This is my younger brother. My younger brother's name is Stephen. Nice to meet you. 


Alright, thanks for reading through my update! Until next time.

Francesca A.
