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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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. It feels like I'm fighting by mobilizing all my knowledge. But I'm not confident that what I wrote there will come out in real conversations. Maybe I should have just gone to an English conversation school. My weird pride is getting in the way of going now. ...

A 30-day challenge to live without using social media This time, I'll avoid using: YouTube X reddit I'm not including Instagram or similar platforms (maybe I'm falling behind the times?) It'll probably be tough, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway Besides the 100-day challenge, I might also write weekly logs and post them on listed Well, I'll do my best. #30dayschallenge ...

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...

For people bored out of their minds, here are some ways to kill time Though calling it "introducing" is a stretch—I'm just sharing what I want to know Watch YouTube Sadly, this is still the ultimate solution YouTube only shows you stuff you're interested in, so it's fun Downside: Your life time vanishes, leaving you feeling empty Browse smartphone apps Lately, I've been spending my entire life on this Security apps and such—even the ones that are mostly pointless (you probably wouldn't get att...
