Today I went to a festival near my house. I ate a lot of delicious food. I really like summer because there are many festivals and fireworks. Summer is very hot, but it is also fun. I want to enjoy this season as much as I can and make many happy memories with my friends and family.

Today, I only had my part-time job at night. I wanted to do my homework, but I did not do it. I wasted my day, and I felt a little disappointed. Tomorrow, I also only have my part-time job at night. So, I will do my homework in the morning and before I go to work. I want to use my time better.

After that, we went back to the hotel by train.However, she wanted to take a taxi. I thought it was dangerous, so I said we should take the train. But she ignored me and went to the taxi stand. In the end, we took a taxi and got scammed. The normal fare was about 3,000 yen, but the driver asked for 20,000 yen. We didn’t have that much cash. The driver told us to get money from an ATM. I tried once. Of course it didn’t work because it was a foreign card. My friend tried many times, and then her card got stuck in the ATM. Finally, we exchanged money at the hotel, and I talked the driver down to 8,000 yen. My friend was only worried about her card. It was a really terrible day.

I lost my 65 day streak of reading 😩 I’m a little bit upset. I know that it’s not a significant achievement but anyway. I can’t blame anyone, unfortunately 😁 I should have read the book first time in the morning instead of waiting till evening. So I just fall asleep at 21:00 and when I woke up it was 2:30 at night already, which means I missed day of my reading 🙈

Today, I spent some time studying for my upcoming test. I reviewed my notes, read my textbook, and practiced some questions. There were a few difficult parts, but I tried to understand them little by little. I hope my hard work will help me do well on the test. After studying, I felt more confident and ready for the exam.

I didn't have a part-time job today. After lunch, I had a meal with my girlfriend and her older sister. We went to a Korean fried chicken restaurant in Yokohama, and the food there was really delicious. After that, I'm planning to go to a local public bathhouse with some friends. I'm feeling better now, so I’m good.
