Today, I went to my part-time job. I was a little tired, but I did my best. I greeted the staff and helped customers during my shift. It was busy, so time passed quickly. After work, I felt happy because I had finished my tasks well. Then I went home, had dinner, and relaxed. It was a productive day, and I learned the importance of working hard and cooperating with others.

I came across an interesting article online about the loudest sound recorded in the past. I would like to share some of the interesting points here.
The article said it was the huge eruption in Krakatoa where is an island in Indonesia and is located between Java Island and Sumatra Island. It happened in 1883 and the noise recorded 172 decibels [dB] at the point where is about 160 km far from the island. Personally, I have no idea how much loud it is and googled it for your reference.
120 dB: the engine's sound when we are very close the airplane
110 dB: when someone is honking you within 2 meters
100 dB: when you are under the railway bride
The loudness exists limit and is 194 dB in the air. It seems that the sound pressure more than 194dB can't pass through air. The sound is called the "Shock Wave" and it pushes air with high pressure explosively. The eruption in Krakatoa was almost the same thing. An air with high pressure generated blast wave and because of it fisherman's eardrums burst, who was about 40 miles far away from the Island. According to a record by each observatory across the world, it is thought that the compression wave generated in Krakatoa traveled around the Earth three or four times over 5 days.
"The Scream" by Munch is one of super well-known paintings in the world. It looks like it has an eerie background color. Actally, there is a theory that the background was modeled after mysterious Sun color just after the Krakatoa's eruption. The eruption occurred in 1883, on the other hand, Munch draw the "The Scream" in 1893. So, the eruption was an inspiration to Munch's works.
This kind of disaster is not just about other people. I really hope this kind of things won't happen again.

I went to Machida to go to Nana’s green tea with my friend today. My friend works there. I ordered lemonade. It’s taste good. After that I went to the gym. I trained my legs today. I want to get legs muscle like professional baseball players because I have a baseball tournament next week. Legs muscle are important for batting.

I like the rainy season in Japan because my birthday falls in the middle of it.
Also, I like the sound of rain. It's very calming, so I keep the windows open as much as possible.
However, the downside is that it makes you lose the motivation to go outside.
I wish it would rain on my day off.

Today, I stayed at home and played games with my friend. We had not talked for a long time, so I was very happy to spend time with him again. While playing games, we talked about many things, such as school life, hobbies, and recent events. It was fun to hear what he had been doing lately. I had a great time, and I hope we can play games and talk together again soon.
