I got bite from by mosquitos last night.*

When I wake woke up this morning, I realized** I got 5 bite from mosquitos had five mosquito bites!***
It seems like my blood is delicious.**** 
I can't help scratching them.
I hope ichi the itching***** will be gone go away soon.


* "Bit/Bite/Bitten" is a difficult English verb. "Bit" is 噛んだ。"Bitten" is 噛まれだ. But most English speakers don't know the rules, both words are used. A better opening sentence would be either: 

"Last night I was bit by mosquitoes" (which is not really correct, but it sounds good) or

"Last night I was bitten by mosquitoes" (which is correct, but "bitten" is a more awkward word).

** Realized vs discovered. I didn't change this, but it's good to know the difference between "Realize" and "discover." "Realize" means thinking and then understanding. "Discover" means finding something and then understanding.

*** Yesterday I told you about how useful "get" is. "I got five mosquito bites!" is good. But "I had five mosquito bites!" is better. "Mosquito bite" is a noun.

**** 久子さんは甘いですよ!

***** In English, we don't say "ichi" (that sounds like の本語の擬音語です。)
