There was a moment when I truly felt like an adult. Recently, a friend asked if I had an item needed for her class. Fortunately, I had it and lent it to her. She was extraordinarily relieved and kindly offered to treat me to a meal as a thank you. We spent a long time deciding where to eat. In the past, we always chose cheap restaurants to save money. This time, however, we chose a traditional Japanese pub where we could order alcoholic drinks. Since we are now old enough to drink alcohol, it felt a bit strange yet exciting to make such an adult choice, and I look forward to having more opportunities like this in the future. However, unlike all-you-can-eat places, izakayas charge for each dish, making the total bill much higher than expected. On a student budget, it is hard to go there every time. Foods I ate were very delicious!

Today had a surprising start. I had a first-period class, but I woke up at 8:40! Even though I overslept, I stayed calm and prepared slowly. Luckily, I made it to class on time and marked my attendance safely. Maybe I overslept because it has been getting much colder lately. I really feel that winter is coming soon. Right now, I am studying at the library before my part-time job this evening. Since I recently registered for the TOEIC test, I am using this time to prepare. I hope I can get a higher score than last time. Balancing school, studying, and work is a bit tough, but I feel productive today. Tomorrow, I have nothing planned all day, so I am going to sleep in and relax.Actually, I had plans for tomorrow, but they got canceled, so it looks like I will be able to spend a relaxing day. I cannot wait to get a good rest!
