仙台 えいごの教室

 

 

   Now are you busy preparing¹ New Year dishes? or writing New Year’s Cards? or kicking back² in front of the TV and having soba noodles? 

 

  In my case, I’m sitting in the livingroom and writing this blog for the last time this year. After this, we will go out³ around 11:30 and visit a temple to ring the bell.

 

  Now I’m looking back at the last couple of months. I went through⁴ a really crazy period, and it passed just like a ROLLer coaster. Especially, December was super busy.

 

  I don’t know why, but, on top of that⁵, I somehow decided to be a cinnamon roll baker! When we were invited to parties, when we wanted to prepare some Xmas presents for our young students, I baked tons of⁶ cinnamon rolls. Look!

  

   

 

 

  Will always says when he goes to bed, "Now it’s Rie time." I’m a super night owl⁷. I like to be busy as a bee⁸. It’s in my genes⁹, I admit.

 

  You know, making cinnamon rolls takes time, but it soothes my mind. Kneeding dough¹⁰ and rolling the dough into the shape of a swirl¹¹ is kind of peaceful. And also, while baking, a nice cinnamon scent from the kitchen calms me down, so I guess I kind of kNEEDED it. Wow, another nice pun¹²!!

  Now we have come back home after ringing the bell at the temple. Suddenly my busy life has turned into¹³ a nice quiet one. We really enjoyed a very tranquil¹⁴ and peaceful time there.

 

 

 

 

  

 

  We wish you a Happy New Year!!
