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.

Yesterday, after work, I ate staff food for the first time in a while. My friend made a steak rice bowl for me, and it was very delicious. After that, I met up with the people who had worked at the Shibuya store, and we went out for drinks. Everyone was tired, but after we started drinking, we had a lot of fun and talked for a long time. I had drunk with some of the same people before, but I had never drunk with exactly the same members, so it was fresh and fun. After that, we went to play darts. I am not very good at darts, but playing darts with everyone was really fun. I want to play darts with everyone again. Today, I have to go all the way to Shibuya for work. I don’t understand why I have to be sent to Shibuya when I am only a part-time worker. I wanted to call in sick, but everyone else had work today, so I decided to do my best too. I haven’t worked for eight hours in a long time, so it will probably be hard. I hope I can somehow finish the whole shift.
