I am writing about last night. I had a Spanish oral test and a presentation in English. The oral test was good, but I think i did a little better this time. For my English presentation, I talked about Halloween in Shibuya. I was nervous and spoke very fast. In Japan, this kind of rapid speech is called "オタク特有の早口" lmao. However, I don't have to go to class next week, so I'll get some rest. Have a nice summer vacation, everyone.

Speaking of my favorite food, it has changed over the course of my life. It has been influenced by (or: It has reflected) the mindset I have at any given time. When I was young, I was often addicted to food with a nice smell and flavor, similar to how I was attracted to a person based only upon their appearance. When I finally became an adult, all the stresses from work and life made me feel like a fish swimming in circles in a pond, so I usually preferred a plain bowl of noodles. All I could do then was endure life's hardships until things got better. So, I had no passion for anything outside of work; nothing else could get my attention. Nowadays, however, my quality of life is so much better; I like to try new things, and I am open to different opinions about things. So it might surprise others to find that now, I really like eating hot pot. I enjoy adding different, unrelated ingredients to the pot at the same time, and tasting all their flavors, separately and in combination, gives me comfort. In my thirties, I came to realize that being patient and optimistic is the true meaning of life. The good things and bad things in our lives are like the ingredients in a hot pot - accepting each of them without judgement is the best approach in life.

It's very sunny today. It's very hot and feels like summer. I hate the heat, so I don't really like summer either. I want to go to the river and have a BBQ during summer vacation. I will be on summer vacation in two weeks. I am about to graduate from college, so I want to do my best. I hope I get all the remaining units without any issues!!!

I have a Korean test on Thursday. I am studying Korean in college. Korean is much easier and more interesting than English. I like K-pop so I want to be able to speak Korean better. I will study hard to get a good score. I have a lot of tests coming up, so I will be busy.

I have only 2 more class sessions before summer vacation (or: I have to attend class just 2 more times before summer vacation). I have to prepare for the tests and presentation but I finished the most difficult one, so I feel better. I’m looking forward to summer vacation because I can go back to my hometown. There are many things I want to do during summer vacation!

Today, I watched a news report of a disaster involving heavy rain in Kyusyu (or: Kyushu). There were some people who died in a landslide. It is dangerous for people who live at the foot of a mountain. Since my grandfather and grandmother live at the foot of a mountain, I am concerned about a disaster occurring there.

Hi, good morning everyone! I went to Kamakura and Enoshima yesterday with my friends from the university. I drove 150 kilometers round trip. We ate while walking in Kamakura and went to the sea. After that, we ate seafood bowls at Enoshima. The night view there was beautiful. In addition, we bought fireworks and set/shot them off. Yesterday was awesome!

I learned that it would be wise to get take care of the problem before it becomes too huge to handle. When I play a game called Dr. Mario, it’s possible to remove the blocks at the beginning. But after I ignore a few blocks, it becomes impossible to get rid of the blocks, causing me to lose the game.
