#22 Tired

Somehow forgot to write for two days. Today's the cross-country race. Looks seriously tough. Guess we're running about 7km? Well, just gotta do it. Tired. Five people from the swim club got awards. I should just switch to track and field. Went to karaoke after, but I was too tired. Everyone sings way too well. It's fine to listen, though. Getting tired of going along with their schemes. It's nice to be liked, but they talk about it publicly and keep inviting me to hang out. It was nice at fir...

#21 Rest

I'm playing it safe and skipping club activities today. It's mostly just taking the Eiken test, so it's super easy. The Eiken test was super easy. Well, it's Level 4, so it would've been bad if I failed. I hear practice was really tough today. Poor thing. I haven't been able to swim much since Thursday, so my body's out of shape. Maybe I should do some weight training. 今日は大事を取って部活を休む ほとんど英検受けるだけだからめちゃくちゃ楽 英検めっちゃ簡単だった まあ4級だし受からなかったらやばいんだけど 今日は練習めっちゃきつかったらしい かわいそう 木曜日からほとんど泳げてないから身体がなまってる 筋...

#20 The worst possible timing

Today I couldn't get up early, of all things. Well, even if I had gotten up early, I probably wouldn't have gotten anything done anyway. Today's PE class is finally over. Relays are way too tough for weak guys like me. My legs are just slow. Seriously, I only shine during swimming lessons. Not that I'm really shining or anything. Left early due to feeling unwell. My fever was only slight, but the chills and headache were brutal. But by the time I got home, the fever was gone. The headache's s...

#19 overeating

Getting up super early was fine, but it's bloody freezing. Honestly, I can't get out from under the duvet. And today I'm not wearing my warm inner layer. How am I supposed to survive this? Winter's far too cold. Thank goodness club activities were just voluntary practice today. Cookery class was actually quite fun too. But then I ate a huge amount of school lunch on top of that and felt like I was going to be sick. I really want to avoid throwing up from overeating – the emptiness afterwards ...

#18 This week is way too busy

I'm super tired. I've felt a bit worn out since waking up this morning. There are all sorts of things I want—recovery gear, a good pillow, and stuff like that. Plus, I want Amino Vital. Man, that stuff is way too expensive for a consumable. What's up with that? My friend's mechanical pencil tip arrived. I'll return it tomorrow. No club activities today, so it was way too easy. Tomorrow's voluntary club practice, so I'm happy. The day after tomorrow is the company visit. Gotta prepare. And the...

#17 Various browsers

I overslept a little today, but it didn't affect me. I'm happy to be able to wear my new shoes and hat. My shoes are a little too big. Well, I knew that was obvious, but I figured they'd grow out of them quickly, so they'd be 1cm bigger. I installed Vivaldi on my phone. I can't decide on a browser. I don't use Brave or Opera because their security is a bit questionable, but then there aren't many options. Firefox is a little slow, and Chrome and Bing are the best. 今日は地味に寝坊した まあ支障はなかったけど 新...

#16 Shopping

Woke up early again today for my brother's test. Pointless. But at least it's not as cold as before, so that's good. I feel like I can't study history at all, so maybe I should just get it over with. But the cat crawled under the blanket, so no way. Let's just stay warm together. I bought new shoes. My old ones were getting too small and I think there was a hole in the toe area, so I'm happy. Plus they were pretty dirty, so this time I got black ones. I also bought a swimming cap. Seriously h...

#15 The holidays are coming soon

Today I woke up early because my brother had his national college entrance exam.(To be precise, the test used for all university entrance exams. Translation issues made it difficult to convey this accurately.) I don't know if he'll actually get into college, but all I can say is "Good luck." Today just needs to get through club activities. Nothing else is too tough. The practice itself wasn't that hard. The guy in the next lane was doing 50×40 hard sets and it was seriously scary. What was th...

#14 Running is impossible

Woke up normally today, along with the rice cooker's sound. Didn't feel like running. Looks pretty cold again today. Just checked, apparently it's warmer than yesterday, but mornings are still cold. My running speed has gotten a lot faster. 5km in 24:43. Well, that's decent, I guess. I never thought I'd forget my swimsuit. Managed to grab one from storage and use it, but seriously, I was shocked the one I used today was an actual proper swimsuit. It looked super old though. Also, I serious...

#13 Swimming too hard

The mornings are way too cold. Even though I'm wearing socks and all sorts of cold-weather gear, I'm still freezing. Feels like cold air is seeping in through the window. It took forever to crawl out from under the covers. How do they get so warm? Today was the toughest day of the year so far. 200×5, 100×5, 50×5, 25×10. All out. I'm literally dying. And I have a run tomorrow. I don't really have the energy to write much today. Tomorrow is a run. I hope I can go faster than last time. Let's...

#12 Calm down

I managed to wake up early today. Having that morning time really makes a difference in how satisfying the day feels. Getting up is tough though. Maybe I'll study for finals. I want some new earbuds too. I broke my friend's mechanical pencil. Looks like I can just buy the refill, so I'll pay them back ASAP. Wrote an essay in class about my goals for this year. Said I'd break 32 seconds in the 50m freestyle and 1 minute 10 seconds in the 100m freestyle. If I'm gonna say it, I better actually d...

#11 My whole body hurts

Today I have a math test and dance rehearsal. I'm pretty tired and it's a pretty heavy day. I totally nailed the math test. Everyone else couldn't finish everything, but I did. So happy. Dance rehearsal got canceled for some reason. Happy about that, but now I'm scared about tomorrow's performance. Club practice was seriously brutal. Doing 50 reps x 8 sets x 4 rounds while still sore from yesterday, then 100 reps x 6 sets and 100 reps x 4 sets all-out? Not good. So glad there's no club tom...

#10 Club activities even on a holiday

I have club activities today, even though it's a holiday. We're going out to hang out this afternoon, but we haven't decided where to meet up at all. What are we gonna do? I only swam 4000m, but it was seriously tough. I don't think 100m x 6 all-out is a good idea. I was hanging out with friends, thought we needed more people, so I called a senior and they came. Seriously hilarious. Since it was just one guy, it was a pretty big relief. It cost quite a bit, but it was fun. Tomorrow's school. ...

#9 Let's quit smartphone addiction

#8 My feet hurt

My legs are killing me from yesterday's run. So grateful club activities are canceled today. The name I wrote for my New Year's calligraphy is ridiculously tiny—I'm dead. Went to get a haircut, bought some stuff, and got hit by a bike on the way home. It was partly my fault, but I said "Sorry!" and they just ignored me and rode off. It stings a bit and is super stressful. Bikes really are a pain, especially the ones riding on sidewalks. That's just plain illegal. Anyway, break is coming. What ...

#7

Today we ran from the very first class. In this cold? This morning's temperature was a whopping 3°C!!!!! Are you trying to kill me? At least club practice is shorter today, so I guess that makes it okay. It was seriously tough. Running 5km is just plain insane. I felt like I ran a lot faster than last time, but it was only 8 seconds quicker. Sad. I made plans thinking there was no club activity on the 12th. Well, my afternoon is free, so I'll just have to squeeze it in then. No club activity ...

#6 Nice earbuds

Getting these earbuds was huge. My brother said they didn't fit his ears. I'm reminded again how amazing noise cancellation is. I set up the equalizer, but I have a feeling once I start tweaking it, there'll be no end. School finally starts again. Times like this make me scared I'll forget something important. It was my first club activity of the year. Having to swim 5200m on the first day is insane. Well, I endured it, so it's okay. Anyway, I'll just try to make sure I can function properly t...

#5 Cold in the morning

Mornings have been way too cold lately, it's a pain When mornings are cold, just getting up is a struggle, and that eats into my time Not that I'm really making good use of my morning hours anyway Since starting my challenge to quit social media, I seriously feel like I have more time The goal was to stop wasting time watching YouTube or X, so I think I'm pretty much achieving that But if you look at it from the perspective of wasted time, I still have some now. There's just too little to do St...

#4 Dreams in abundance

There are so many things I want to do, but they all vanish like dust. So I'll leave them here as notes. I wonder what I'll think when I look back later. Skydiving I want to try it at least once. Especially since I've never (luckily) experienced freefall. Sleep on an insanely expensive bed, pillow, and futon Seriously, this has been a dream of mine for years now. I want to buy it once I can afford it. Get a cat I have one now, but it doesn't really bond with me. Probably because my dad gets all...

#3 Recent Apps

Let me tell you about some recent app recommendations. I've spent the last week hunting for smartphone apps, so take my word for it—these are pretty solid picks. Why am I spending New Year's on my phone? Didn't have anyone to spend Christmas with? Who cares about that. Let's get started. Ecosia - Search Engine, Browser This one was pretty great. Just searching plants trees? Perfect for someone like me who wants to donate and feel good, even if I'm broke. Concern: It relies on ad revenue, so yo...

AIと英語で会話するの、思ったよりいいかも 自分の持ってる知識を総動員して戦う感じ でもそこで書いたことが現実で会話するときに出る自信はない 英会話教室とかいっときゃあよかったかも 今から行くのは変なプライドが邪魔をする Talking to AI in English might be better than I thought.

Maybe I should have just gone to an English conversation school. My weird pride is getting in the way of going now. ...

#2 To those of you with nothing to play

I'm already running out of things to write at this point. Come to think of it, I haven't even introduced myself yet. Not that I feel I need to, though Today I'll bestow upon you some recommended games. Since I only have a PS5, Steam's out of the question. xcom2 I guess you could call it a strategy game. It's turn-based combat between aliens and humans, but if you mess up, your human side dies instantly. It really makes you think, but it's genuinely fun. Warframe The ultimate time sink. Probabl...
