This week was a little busy, but it was also fun for me. On Monday, I went to the dentist because my tooth felt strange. The dentist checked my teeth and cleaned them. It was not very fun, but I was happy that my teeth became better. After that, I felt more relaxed. Later in the week, I went for a drive with my girlfriend. We did not have a clear plan, but we just wanted to enjoy the day. We drove around the city, talked about many things, and listened to music in the car. It was simple, but I felt very happy being with her. On another day, we went to Nitori to buy some items for my room. We looked at chairs, shelves, and some small decorations. After shopping, I decided to change the layout of my room. I moved my desk, cleaned the floor, and placed the new items in better spots. Now the room feels more open and comfortable. Overall, this week was not special, but it made me feel good and refreshed.

I had the flu this Monday. In Japan, Influenza is spreading. I felt so hard. I had a fever of 39.9 degrees on Tuesday. I was very worried that I might have a serious illness. I’m living alone now, so there is no one I can rely on. I want to go to my home town now. I will go home when year end. I can’t wait. My dad said come back this weekend. But I have a part time job and class.. I like my job and school, but I hate them now. I miss my parents and brother. I have no fever now. I want to be better and go to school. I want to travel with my family in spring vacation. We had a plan to go to Okinawa five years ago. But we can’t go because of Covid-19. I don’t give up this plan. I want to see the sea view, eat Taco rice.

Today, I have a part-time job at a yakiniku restaurant. Since it is a weekday, I think it will not be very busy, so maybe the shift will be easier. Still, I must work hard and finish properly. I also want to go home early, because tomorrow I have a lecture and I cannot oversleep. After work, I really want to play games, but I need to manage my time carefully. When I get home, I plan to take a bath right away to relax. After that, I will play games for a short time, just enough to enjoy myself. Then I will study a little, because I still have school tasks to do. After studying, I will go to bed so I can wake up on time. Tomorrow is Friday, so I feel more motivated. I will keep trying and do my best until the weekend comes. Let’s go!!!

This week was extremely busy for me. I had to work on school assignments almost every single day, so I did not have time to watch my favorite YouTube videos. I was happy that I could at least listen to music while I was commuting. The assignments were very hard, but I also had a club presentation to prepare for, and practicing for that at the same time made everything even tougher. Still, I think my presentation went pretty well. I made a few mistakes, but I felt good because my friends and I worked together and supported each other. I think the assignments will become even busier from now on, and I also want to spend time and energy on my club activities. Trying to do both is really challenging. I never knew college life would be this busy, but I will keep doing my best and try to stay positive. 😭 Everyone, take care of yourselves!

🎧 Today we’re talking about "Look after" It sounds responsible, right? If you "look after" something, you’re taking care of it. You know, like when you "look after" a friend’s cat. But let’s be honest, you probably just fed it, gave it water, and then spent three hours watching Netflix 🔉

Recently, I watch the Korean dramas again. I don't have a lot of time to watch them, but I try to watch a little every day. I'm not very good at watching long series like dramas or anime, because I always want to know the ending quickly. Even so, a friend recently recommended the popular Japanese anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" to me, so I am thinking about watching it. When COVID-19 started, I began watching Korean dramas at home, and that is when I started to really like them. I mostly watch romance dramas, and they always make my heart flutter. To be honest, I like Korean romance dramas more than Japanese romance dramas. These days, when I feel tired or want to take a break, I watch Korean dramas in my free time. It helps me relax and gives me a nice moment to rest. I also have some actors I like, so watching the drama is really fun for me.
