I began studying Japanese in college during my sophomore year, as I was (and still am) deeply interested in kanji.  My Japanese is rather weak, but I do enjoy reading novels and speaking with friends in the language.

漢字に興味があるので、大学２年の春学期に日本語の勉強を始めました。僕は日本語が下手ですが、日本語で小説を読んだり友だちと話したりすることが好きです。

Once I finally learned how to cook after graduating, I immediately took a liking to it, though I'm not very good at this hobby either.  My favorite dishes to make are curry rice, mapo tofu, and beef stew.

Most recently, I've become more interested in learning more about teas, after drinking tea every day for years.  So far, my favorite teas have been gyokuro, gunpowder green, and chrysanthemum.

I've been dealing with injuries for years now, but I was a very devoted runner in high school and still love to run to this day.  I hope to run a marathon some day, but I have no idea how long it will take for me to work up to that level of running.
