Two school festivals

There are two school festivals in Yamanashi university. The one is a faculty of education and the other is a faculty of medical. The reason is that two colleges are in different places. I belong to a medical rugby football team as a team secretary, so I can take part in the both festivals!! The school festivals are held only once a year. So I was very looking forward to them. Then I will introduce the each two school festivals.

First I will tell you about a medical school festival. It took place on October 26th, 27th and 28th. A most characteristic thing of the medical school festival is that the students can drink!! The students continued drinking for three days. The school festival eve was heated up the most. In the morning we had a softball meeting. (Unfortunately the meeting was called off this year because of rain. So I will tell the meeting last year.) I played a catcher in the game, and we were a runner up!! We could get some beers. In the night, the members of all club activities got together and drank at a school gymnasium. There was some events such as an uniform contest, an arm wrestling meeting, a karaoke by each club members etc. And we can talk with anyone there even people who we don't know!! We can make friends in this party. On 2nd and 3rd day, there were many boothes by each clubs. My rugby club runs a pie throwing booth every year. You choose someone in my club team members and throw a pie to their face thoroughly!! You can throw a pie once only fifty yen. Of course our club can't get a lot of money, but we enjoy it very much☆(。→∀←。)

I will tell you about an educational school festival next. It took place on November 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The member of International Culture sold "Agetako(あげたこ)" It is like "Takoyaki(たこやき)"(Do you know Takoyaki? Takoyakis are octopus flitters. We use flour, octopuses, leeks, red pickled gingers and water. And we mix them and grill in round shape.) but the difference is that Agetako is fried. It was hard to run the booth because we must closely consider money, places, the number of goods and so on. I was very anxious whether the foods sold. But Agetako sold well for two days. Then we sold out all Agetako and we got a lot of money than we expected!! I took a photograph with my friends wearing a T-shirts of the same design with pink color.

These two school festivals had some varieties. So I could have a really good time in each of them. These several days were my precious memories!! How about the UNH school festival? Please tell me about your school festivals★

Hello! Both of your school festivals seem really fun! I wish I could go to a school festival. Which of the school festivals were your favorite? Or did you like both of them the same? UNH doesn't have any school festivals like they do in Japan but there are different activities like picnics. I'd like to try Agetako it sounds very delicious. Do you like Agetako? I'm glad that both of your school festivals went very well. ^_^

Hello(*'-'*)I like the medical school festival better. Because we can drink and some ivents on the stage are more interesting than educational one. And in the educational school festival, juniors and seniors aren't concerned with the school festival so much if they don't belong to any clubs.
I like Agetako and Takoyaki very much!! Please eat them(*^。^*)
