I could not go to school for a while, but today I went to school from the second period. However, I found out just before class that it was canceled. I was already at school, so I had to spend about an hour there. But I could drink a new Starbucks drink, so I think it was good in the end. Recently, I have not been able to work much because it is winter, and I really miss my coworkers. Sometimes we go out for drinks together, but meeting everyone at work has been my main motivation recently. I want to work even if I do not get much money. Soon, we will have a drinking party to celebrate someone who recently turned 20. It will be my first time going out with this group, so I am really excited. After that, I will also go out for drinks with some university friends I have never gone out with before. I am really looking forward to both events. I have a class in the first period tomorrow, so I will go to bed early and get ready for tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I want to buy some new nail products. I also want to get eyelash extensions, but I may not have enough money, so I will just make my nails look cute for now.

Yesterday, I went out to eat with Taiwanese and Chinese students.🇹🇼🇨🇳Professor Shimada introduced them to me. I am thinking about going to Tamkang University in Taiwan for a language training program during spring vacation. One of the students was from Tamkang University, so we talked a lot about delicious food and school life in Taiwan‼︎ I was surprised to hear that my favorite bubble milk tea costs only about 300 yen in Taiwan.🧋It is much cheaper than in Japan‼︎ I really want to go to Taiwan soon and enjoy many new experiences. I also noticed that the intonation is different between Taiwan and China. I realized that this is similar to Japan, where people speak different intonations depending on the region. I thought this was an interesting similarity between our countries.🫢The Chinese boy was a first-year student at Kanagawa University. He has been going to school in Japan since junior high school. I thought it was amazing that he could speak two languages and switch between them naturally during our conversation‼︎

Smoking cigarettes brings many serious disadvantages to your personal health, your financial budget, and your daily social life. First of all, tobacco products contain thousands of toxic chemicals that damage your lungs and heart, greatly increasing the dangerous risk of deadly illnesses like lung cancer, stroke, and chronic heart failure. Second, smoking is an incredibly expensive habit to maintain; buying packs of cigarettes every week costs a massive amount of money that could otherwise be saved for your future or spent on essential things. Third, it causes unpleasant physical appearance problems, such as turning your teeth yellow, causing bad breath, and making your clothes, skin, and hair smell terrible. Finally, secondhand smoke seriously hurts the innocent people around you, especially your beloved family, children, and friends, by forcing them to breathe in harmful air. In addition, many modern public areas completely ban smoking today. In conclusion, smoking negatively affects every single part of your life, making it a very bad choice for everyone.

Today is October 22. It’s cloudy and a little chilly. The temperature has been all over the place lately, so it’s hard to decide what to wear. My first class was canceled today. Since it’s kind of tough to get up for the first class, I was actually a little happy it was canceled. I have my first class tomorrow, so I’m going to try my best to get up on time. I’m heading to my part-time job at an Italian restaurant now, and I’m feeling a little sluggish, but I’ll do my best. The reason is that the staff meal after work is really delicious. If I keep that in mind, I’ll be able to power through. I think there’s a lot to learn today, too, so I’m going to do my best.

Yesterday, I went to a cafe with my friend from my part-time job after school. I had not seen her for about four months, so we had a lot of things to talk about. We ate pancakes at the cafe. We talked about what we did during summer vacation and what we have been doing recently. We also talked about school, our part-time jobs, and our daily lives. It was nice to see her again after such a long time. I hope we can go to a cafe together again soon. By the way, I have a lot of assignments recently, so I feel very tired. I have a presentation tomorrow, so I have to finish making my slides today. I need to check the slides and prepare what I will say during the presentation. Also, I have three reports to write. I am worried because I have so much work to do. I feel like I will not have enough time to sleep every day. I want to finish all my assignments as soon as possible so I can relax. University life has been very busy lately!

It is hard to believe that October is almost over, yet we are still experiencing some surprisingly hot days this year. Usually, this time of the year brings a refreshing autumn breeze and cooler temperatures, but the current weather feels more like an extended summer. In fact, I am quite astonished to see many people walking around in short sleeves, even though the calendar says it is already late October. It creates a strange and confusing atmosphere when the autumn leaves are supposed to fall, but the temperature demands summer clothing. Personally, I have never been a big fan of hot weather because it makes me feel uncomfortable and sluggish. I much prefer the crisp, cool air of late autumn and the cozy feeling of winter. Because of this, I sincerely hope that the temperature drops very soon and the refreshing, cool autumn weather finally arrives to stay.

Hello. Today, I will talk about my week. First, on Saturday, I stayed at my friend’s house. My friend lives in Saitama. My friend made dinner for me. We ate oyakodon. It was so delicious, and I was happy. On Sunday, I was going to go to a phone shop to get a my new phone. But my new phone was not there yet. So, I had no plans that day. On Monday, I went to interview for a new part-time job. I passed the interview, so I was very happy. Yesterday and today, I played with the same friends. Yesterday, we ate monjayaki. Today, we ate malatang. Both were very delicious. I had a very good time with my friends. Tomorrow, I will go to karaoke with my friend. I want to sing a lot. I moved to a new place recently, and I have not started my new part-time job yet. So, I want to have fun with my friends this week and next week. From November, I want to work a lot.

Today, I played in a small futsal tournament with my teammates. I was looking forward to the tournament because I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my friends. We played several matches and tried our best to win each game. Some matches were difficult, but we worked together and supported each other. I was happy that our team could play well as a group. In the end, we won the tournament and became champions. I was very excited because all our hard work paid off. Winning the tournament made me feel proud of myself and my teammates. I think communication and teamwork were important reasons for our victory. I had a great time playing futsal, and it was a memorable experience. After the tournament, I went out to eat with my friends. We were hungry after playing futsal, so the food tasted especially good. We talked about the matches and enjoyed spending time together. It was nice to celebrate our victory with everyone. I was tired after a long day, but I felt very happy. Today was a great day, and I hope I can play in another tournament with my friends soon.

I have always loved dancing, and even after graduating, I have continued practicing with the dedicated members of my former school club. Currently, we are working extremely hard for an upcoming stage performance in February. My primary dance genres are jazz and contemporary. I was first introduced to contemporary dance when I was a high school student, and it was an extraordinarily challenging experience for me. In our club, we created unique pieces based on complex themes, such as the famous artwork of Hokusai, the life cycle of silkworms, and creative performances using chairs as main props. During practice, I often cried not from physical injury, but from the deep personal struggle and intense frustration of trying to bring such abstract concepts to life through movement. However, I refused to give up and kept pushing forward every day. Overcoming those mental hurdles allowed me to greatly improve my technique and emotional expression, making me truly glad that I persevered.
