Today, a person who teaches acting to actors as a special instructor for class came to me. He said that unlike the general image of Hori Productions actors, there are many people who are more interested in various things than expected and want to take any drama content for now. I was a little surprised because I thought actors were choosing to play the role carefully. At first, I thought this lecture was about acting like someone, but in fact, it was a class where I learned how to think differently and perceive differently for each member through group work and simple games. In order to understand the other person in the process, I was able to learn that there was no need to over-impress or reversely obscure my values on the premise of the existence of various ways of thinking. I think there will be more opportunities to engage with people from different backgrounds and values in the future, but I wanted to be a person who could accept their ideas without denying what I learned today and to keep broadening my perspective so that I can communicate with others more openly. I realized that this kind of flexible mindset will also help me grow, both in daily interactions and in any creative work I may face.

I had an English interview in today's class. The group was divided into three groups, with two interviewers and one interviewer. I was in the role of having an interview. All teams were assigned jobs in advance and interviews were conducted in each group. Each was a pilot chef, teacher, librarian, tour guide and gardener. I'm not very good at English, so I was nervous and couldn't speak well in the first interview (tour guide). Even in my native Japanese, it is difficult to deal with interviews, so I get even more tired. However, through various classes, I was able to express myself and show my strengths. Some of my friends will go to internships from next year. The time for job hunting is gradually approaching. I'm worried right now, and I really don't want to, but I'll have fun. In particular, it is ideal to actively talk about strong content in interviews. From now on, in order to get used to speaking in front of many people, I would like to give these daily classes and presentations politely and challenge them as if they were giving real interviews. And I want to get a job where I can feel truly rewarding and earn the right amount of money for my work. Through today's lecture, I realized that there are many things that I can do for myself in the future！

Today I had a Chinese class in the second period, and we had to sing a song in Chinese in front of everyone. When the teacher first told us about this, I thought there was no way I could sing in Chinese because I even get nervous singing Japanese songs in front of other student.I hadn’t even chosen my song until yesterday, so I couldn’t practice much. I sang “Chiisana Koi no Uta” in Chinese. Other students sang Disney songs or songs from Japan and China. But I was not as nervous as I expected, and I managed to sing the whole song for about five minutes. After studying Chinese for two years, I could sing easily by looking at the lyrics with pronunciation. I feel happy because I could see my progress, and I want to improve my Chinese even more. I listen to many English songs, but I don’t sing them often, and I didin't sung in Chinese before. It's often said that listening to music is a good way to learn language, so I think if I listen to more songs in English and Chinese, I can improve my language skills even more. I will do my best!

Yesterday I found out that I had influenza. It was a little surprising because one week ago I already went to the hospital when I first felt sick. At that time, I had a sore throat and a runny nose. I was worried that it might be COVID-19 or influenza, so I decided to see a doctor. The doctor checked me carefully and told me that it was neither COVID nor influenza. I felt very relieved, and I started to take the medicine that was given to me. Thanks to the medicine, I slowly began to feel better. My throat pain became weaker, and my nose was not so bad anymore. However, a few days later, something strange happened. I started to cough in a way that was different from my usual cough. My body also felt heavy, and I became very tired. I thought maybe it was just a small cold, but the feeling was stronger than before. I could not concentrate on my schoolwork, and even walking around the house made me feel exhausted. Because of this, I decided to go back to the hospital again. This time the doctor told me that I really had influenza. I was a little shocked, but at least I finally knew the truth. The doctor advised me to rest well and drink enough water. Now I am staying at home, trying to recover slowly. I hope that with enough sleep and care, I will feel healthy again soon.

This morning I woke up very late, and it was really a big mistake. Yesterday I stayed up too late at night, and I could not sleep well. Because of that, when I opened my eyes today, it was already 11:30 a.m. I was very shocked, because I had a lecture in the morning, but I missed it completely. I felt that I really made a serious error. I had studied for the test carefully, but since I did not attend the lecture, I could not take the test. That made me feel very disappointed and frustrated. The reason I stayed up late was because I kept playing games for a long time. I did not stop, and I continued until very late. It has been a long time since I did something like that, so I lost control of my schedule. At first, it was fun, but later I realized it was not good for me. My body felt very tired, and my mind also felt heavy. I could not focus, and I regretted my choice. Now I understand that I need to change my habit. I should not play games too long, especially when I have important things the next day. Today I feel very exhausted, so I decided that I must go to bed earlier tonight. If I sleep well, tomorrow will be better, and I can start fresh again!•

This week, I have a two big event for me. First, I exchanged my smartphone. The before one was using about 4.5 years. So battery's condition was very bad. The new one is very nice. Battery is so long, and screen size is wider than before one. I said, "I want to exchange my smartphone!" since this year's spring. At last, I changed it. Recently, smartphone and other machines are too expensive to change easily. So I changed old smartphone's battery at 2 times. But battery was doing worse quickly. Second, this weekend, I will go to my favorite game event in Chiba. My favorite game's name is "THE IDOLM@STER" series. This game's event will be held in weekend. It will be held in Makuhari Messe. Makuhari messe is located in Chiba pref. Near the this facility, you can see a big Tokyo Bay. But there is very windy because near the ocean. So you should wear windbreak outer if you go to there for some events. This week is too busy to me. Additionally, I had part time job for three consecutive days. It was very hard. But I think that this weekend's event is reward for me. I will enjoy that event.

This is a great question that can be better answered by an adult., because an adult experience both being a child and an adult. As for me, I really wanted to grow up quickly when I was a kid, then I could control my life by myself without naggings from parents. Freedom just liked a seed that sowed in my heart. After I grew up and left home, I always felt lonely because I needed to face all the challenges and hardships without any help from parents. At that moments, I really wanted to be the child that was well taken care of by my parents. All the naggings were full of love from them. The only thing I should do was to eat and play well. This reminds me of a great Chinese saying that goes : nothing is perfect.Imperfection is ferfect. We need to think about what we have present.

This week was really exhausting for me. I had a course exercise presentation coming up, so I was nervous from the beginning of the week. I wanted to prepare as much as possible, but I didn’t have enough time or energy because I had to work five days in a row. Working five consecutive days was harder than I expected. Each shift felt longer and heavier than usual. By the last day, I felt completely worn out. Every morning I woke up tired and every night I went to bed with a headache. I could feel my body asking for rest, but I just had to keep going. The presentation finally took place, and I think I did okay. I did my best with the energy I had, but I still felt a bit frustrated because I knew I could have performed better if I hadn’t been so tired. Still, I felt relieved when it was over, like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders. This week, I also had a small fight with my girlfriend. It wasn’t a big issue, but because I was stressed and tired, I reacted too strongly. She was also emotional, so we misunderstood each other. Later, we talked calmly and apologized, and everything is fine now. I’m really grateful for her. I hope next week will be more peaceful, and I want to rest and take care of myself.

This week was really tough for me. I had a course exercise presentation, so I was already a little nervous. On top of that, I had to work five days in a row. After the fifth day, I felt completely exhausted. Every morning I woke up tired, and every night I couldn’t relax properly because I kept thinking about the presentation. I wanted to prepare more, but my body and mind just wouldn’t keep up. The presentation finally happened. I think I did okay, but I wasn’t satisfied because I knew I could have done better if I had more energy. Still, I felt relieved when it ended. Also, my girlfriend and I had a small fight this week. It wasn’t a big one, but because I was tired, it felt worse than usual. We both said things we didn’t really mean. Later, we talked and apologized, so everything is fine now. I’m glad we made up. I hope next week will be more peaceful. I want to rest and reset my mind.

Hello everyone! Next February, I’m planning to visit Korea with my friends, and I’m already getting excited about the trip. This will be my fifth time traveling to Korea, but every visit still gives me new memories and a fresh perspective. Because I’ve been there several times, I feel more comfortable with transportation, ordering food, and understanding the atmosphere of the city. Still, traveling with friends makes everything feel new again. We’re planning to stay in Seoul, since there are still many places we haven’t explored. I want to visit some cafés that recently went viral online and try winter-only menus. I’m also looking forward to enjoying street foods like hotteok, tteokbokki, and fish cake soup, which taste even better in the cold season. This time, I especially hope to make use of the Korean I’ve been studying for the Hangul Ability Test. I recently started reviewing vocabulary and grammar again, so I want to try reading signs, ordering in Korean, and having simple conversations with shop staff. It would be great if I could feel the progress of my studying while traveling. I think using the language in real situations will motivate me even more. Since it’s been a while since our last trip together, we want to take our time shopping, wandering through different neighborhoods, and taking lots of photos. Even though it’s my fifth visit, Korea always offers something new. I hope this upcoming journey will be another unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait for February to arrive.
