Today for English class, everyone had to deliver their "Damon Speeches" which were speeches about issues they cared about in school or Oahu. I was sweating bullets, before I gave mine, but the smiling faces of my friends helped me to pull through.

I’m always tired on Sundays, because during the week I don’t get a lot of sleep. Maybe seven and a half hours of sleep. But I need at least 9 hours. It would help me so much to get and extra hour of sleep. I think I’ll take a nap today.
 
私は、日曜日はいつも疲れています。普段の日は、睡眠不足だからです。毎日、たぶん、７時艱３０分寝ます。　でも、普通の人は、少なくとも、９時間必要です。もう１時間半ぐらい余分に寝たらいいと思います。きょうは昼寝をしようと思います。 Continue reading →

 
Today I am one year older, now 14. I’ve learned many things this past year, like playing the piano and ukulele, and learning Japanese. It has been a phenominal year, and I hope this one is only better.

  １４才の誕生日 きょう、わたしは、ひとつ年をとりました。この一年、ピアノやウクレレをひいたり、日本語など、いろいろなことをならいました。おどろくべき一年でした。そして、これからの一年も、よいことだけがありますように！

Last October, there was a football game between Punahou and Kamehameha, and it was a great battle raging on. The game was so intense that I didnt notice my right hands ring finger getting broken as I tackled the running back. I had to concentrate on the last 30 minutes of the game, so i forgot about it. Punahou still won. After the game i felt the pain my finger swelling up to almost twice its size and it was bent out of place. When I reurned to school, I went to the health center to get it checked. The 5 people running the health center are called the "Blue Crew," because they wear blue shirts to work everyday. I then put some ice on my hand to stop the swelling. The next day, it was still sore and swollen. But I only had to miss one day of practce. After this spring baseball season, I’ll go to a professonal doctor to get it checked out. I play the piano, but the bent finger causes me to make a few mistakes each time I use it. I guess I have to get used to it.
 

去年の１０月、プナホウとカメハメハのフットボールの試合がありました。そして、これは激しい戦いでした。試合中、私は、敵の選手にアタックするために、夢中になっていました。その時、右手の薬指を突き指したことに、気がつきませんでした。試合の最後、３０分間、集中しなければなりませんでした。それで、そのことを忘れていました。それでも、プナホウは勝ちました。試合のあとで、私の指は、２倍くらいにはれあがって、痛みを感じました。そして、指は外に曲がっていました。学校に戻ってから、保健室へみてもらいにいきました。保健室で働いている５人の先生達は、ブルークルーといいます。毎日、青いシャツを着て働いているからです。それから、はれをおさえるために、氷（Ice)を薬指にあてました。次の日、薬指はまだ痛くて、はれていました。それでも、私は練習を１日休んだだけでした。春の野球シーズンのあとで、私は、お医者さんにみてもらおうと思います。私は、ピアノを弾きます、でも、曲がった指のせいで、薬指を使うたびに、ピアノのキーを、ひきそこねます。だんだん慣れるでしょう。

One day my pals and I went to kaimuki midle school park to play football. We we’re all just fooling around, when a group of about 5 very thick boys walked up to us. " eh, we play you guys," one of them called. My friends we’re a little scared, but i was up to the challenge. One boy was like a bus, plowing through everyone. Except when he got to me. We walked away later that day as winners. Those kahala boys are next.

Rain was pouring from the sky this week,from Monday to Friday. Theres was always a downpour, and it ruined all of my baseball practices and our game.　At　ｓchool, we could not do anything outside because everything was so muddy. I hope the punahou carnival isn’t as rainy as last year.
 

　月曜日から金曜日まで、雨がはげしくふりました。ずっと、どしやぶりでした。そして、野球の練習と試合が中止（ちゅうし）になりました。学校で、全ては泥だらけでしたから、外で何も出来ませんでした。プナホウ カーニバルが、きょねんのように雨でなければいいと思います。

Today something really funny happened at school. We were planning to play a joke on my friend, Aaron. When he wasnt looking, we dared one of the girls to pull his pants down. He got really mad, and said "Oh my God!" HE chased us around the school, but finally settled down. It was just a joke.

Yesterday i went to my friends house in hawaii kai. It is a beatiful sport surrounded by mountains and a sandy beach. At his house we played poker, but most of the time we fooled around and played on his wrestling mat. Guess who won.
