This blog attempts to capture how the Rising Daughters are growing up and logs a few of my related musings. This latest round of Rising Daughters™ life stage snapshots provides an overview of Marina’s current life which has resumed in her old neighborhood. The environment in Yokohama is relatively unchanged, but this kid is a textbook case of work-in-progress.
What's been the hardest thing for you to readjust to since you moved back to Yokohama?
Learning kanji* and making a new routine. By routine I mean my normal after-school activities like homework and snacks, and my night stuff like taking a bath and bedtime. *Chinese characters modified and used in the Japanese language
I like the Paris T-shirt and my Vsco shirt. It has a happy aesthetic and you can add a scrunchie to go with it. I also like Doraemon character stuff.
It's from the internet. Duh.
Any new hobbies or sports?
I started to play basketball on a team in our neighborhood. We play at my school gym, and we practice three days a week with one game. It’s tiring but I like it.
What's your favorite ice cream/or candy?
I like the matcha* ice cream and marble chocolate. That’s chocolate shaped like a circle with a lucky number on it.
*green tea flavored
Who is more fun to play with, boys or girls?
Girls. Because there's just many more things you can agree on.
What's your average day like?
Busy and pretty exciting.
Tell us about the past year at school in Yokohama. What have you learned?
Studying is not too hard for me. I study, but not too much. Somehow, when I don't study I still get OK grades.
What books are you reading lately?
I was reading the Wild Robot books, but then I switched to reading Roald Dahl books. After I finished one or two of them, I started to like reading scary slasher mystery series instead.
What’s your favorite toy or thing to do these days?
I like interior design and aesthetics.
What would you like to say to your future self, when you’re 21?
Have you learned more details about flight attendant jobs yet and what college did you get into?

In what place are you happiest?
In my bed or on the couch--the couch downstairs in the living room. It means I'm watching TV and relaxing.
What is your greatest challenge now?
Tests at school. Well, I'm not having trouble. And I just started basketball, so I want to get better at it. I’m still learning.
