Hello. Yesterday was payday, and I finally received my salary. I had been waiting for this day because my wallet was getting lighter and lighter. After checking my bank account, I felt a small sense of relief. I immediately started thinking about how to use the money. Recently, the weather has become cooler, and I realized that I don’t have a proper jacket for autumn and winter. I saw some stylish outerwear online, like wool coats and down jackets, and now I can’t stop thinking about buying one. I want something warm but fashionable, something I can wear both to university and part-time work. Still, I’m trying to be careful not to spend too much. Maybe I should wait until the sale starts next month. Saving money is important, but rewarding myself a little also feels good. Finding that balance is always the hardest part.

The qualification exam is only four days away. I think passing this year may be difficult, but I want to do my best. Studying is not easy, but I enjoy it.

I will study more today and keep going. I believe effort is important. I want to feel proud after the exam. I will focus and use my time well. This is my final chance to improve. I hope my hard work will help me succeed. Today, I will do my best again. Let's go!

Hello. Today, I had an interview of part-time job. It was the most difficult interview I’ve ever hard because it was group interview and we answered many questions in an hour. The questions were all specific ones that required concrete answers, but I think I answered every one accurately. So I believe I had a good interview. It's a highly competitive interview, but I hope I get in. After that, I went to my friend's university and met up with my friend. Lately, I've been busy with university and my part-time job, so we haven't been able to meet as often. It was really great to finally see you again, catch up on everything, and make plans to go to Disney together!

What do you think makes me want to eat in autumn? That is “Kaki 柿”,Japanese persimmons. According to some data, 70 percent of “Japanese Kaki “are astringent persimmons. I thought astringent persimmons was too astringent to eat, but actually there are some ways to get rid of the astringency. By the way, “Shibugaki 渋柿”, astringent persimmons is also called sour persimmon in English. “Shibugaki” and sour taste completely different, so I wondered why they are the same word.

Hellow everyone! I'm a bit nervous about taking the TOEIC next month. The results might not come right away, but I feel my daily studying is gradually building my knowledge. I'm making positive efforts. I've also decided to take the Korean Language Proficiency Test Level 3. I've been interested in Korean language and culture since elementary school, and learning it is enjoyable. Watching numerous Korean dramas via subscription services during the pandemic sparked my desire to understand Korean naturally. I've made Korean friends, and through international exchange, I've discovered new values and aspects of myself.
