Yesterday, I drove my friend to Disneyland and then went to Narita Airport with my mother. I had nothing to do all day, so I wanted to go for a drive. It was really fun. We ate lunch at the airport and saw a rainbow from the observation deck. But after coming home, I started to feel sick. Now, I have a sore throat, a headache, and a cough. I hope I get better soon.

Today was a sunny day for the first time in a long time, so I tried to go out somewhere, but it was too hot to give up. I don't like hot weather, so I can't stand it. So I prefer winter. In winter, if you wear it, you can manage it, and the event is fun. And the atmosphere of the cityscape in winter is also somewhat sad and I like it very much.

Today I had a Korean test. I did well on the written test but failed on the speaking test. I'm very sleepy right now because I studied for a test until 2:30 yesterday. So I'm going to get some sleep. I'm working today, and I have a presentation tomorrow, so it's going to be tough.

Hello. Today I have a Russian test, a language media class, and a sociology class. I did better on the Russian test than I expected. Now I'm going to prepare to win the Biblibattle finals tomorrow. I'm going to use the Curry Rice book to win the Biblibattle tomorrow. If I win, I'll get a special money prize. See you tomorrow.

Today, I finished my end-of-term assignment. I had to read more than 1,000 English words and write a summary and opinion of over 600 Japanese characters. It was really hard and took a long time. I also had to write a 250-character reflection about the class. I worked very hard, so I was very happy when I finished everything. Now I have already submitted it. The only thing left is the final test. I feel a little tired, but also proud. I hope I can do well on the test too.

Animism plays a central role in traditional Japanese culture, especially through the indigenous religion of Shinto. Shinto is a deeply animistic belief system, centered around the concept of kami- spiritual beings or deities that reside in all aspects of the natural world. The term Yaoyorozu no kami (eight million gods) literally “eight million gods” reflects the belief that countless spiritual presences exist everywhere.

Hello. Today, I'm happy because I plan to finish all my test. After I get home, I will carefully review my report for tomorrow and then go to bed. I’m so excited about the coming soon summer vacation that I can hardly sleep at night. During the summer break, I’m planning to visit Nara and explore many beautiful temples there. I’ve always wanted to experience the history and culture of that area, so I’m really looking forward to it. Have a nice day!

Today I had my final Korean exam. It was harder than usual. After the test, I ate malatang with my friend—it was so delicious. Then, I went to see a movie alone that I had been wanting to watch. It was a fulfilling day, even though it started with a tough exam.
