Today I went to my club meeting for the first time in while. I’m a member of a club at Kanagawa University’s campus festival, and I’m set of the quiz segment. For the quiz, we use Kahoot, quattro-choice questions, and intro quizzes. Today I created an intro quiz. There are only about three weeks left until the festival, so I’m going to give it my all. Since I didn’t have classes today, I went to bed at 4:00 a.m. and woke up around 11:00 a.m. For lunch, I used RocketNow service to order ramen from a place called Kagetsu Arashi near my house. I cooked the rice myself, added it to the bowl, and ate it—it was really delicious.

I went to Kiyosumi Garden in Tokyo with my friend on Saturday. It is a beautiful park with a lake and places where we can sit and eat. We bought sandwiches at a nearby sandwich shop and ate them in the park. They were very delicious, and I want to go there again. After that, we went to Shimokitazawa, which is famous for its vintage clothes. We bought a lot of cute winter clothes. At night, we had monja-yaki for dinner. From Sunday to Thursday, I work at my part-time job every day. It was a fun and busy week.

Today, I did not have any classes at school, so I was able to spend a relaxing day at home. In the morning, I cleaned my room and organized some of my things. My room became much cleaner, so I felt very comfortable. After that, I watched a movie at home. It was nice to watch a movie without worrying about school or homework. I also had some time to rest and enjoy doing nothing. Recently, I have been busy with classes and other things, so I was happy to have a quiet day. I think taking a break is important because it helps me feel refreshed. From tomorrow, I want to focus on my classes again and do my best at school. I will try to study hard, finish my assignments, and make the most of every day.
