Yea, I think I am sort of getting sick. I feel like jittery and my cheeks are hot. When I get home I need to sleep and drink some tea or something. I am not sure what I am doing but deep in my gut, I feel off for some reason, even past physical. I feel spiritually/mentally off right now. I don't know why. I hope I am not getting sick.

I am in math class right now, just want to focus on math and get back home. I kind of just want to write right now to calm down a bit too.

Lily, my niece, picked me up today since my mom is busy with something else today. She came a little early so I had time to go to Staples and Starbucks to get something to eat and drink, and also some pens and pencils for the presentation tomorrow.

I don't know why but sitting in the class makes me feel overwhelmed. I am just trying to get by right now so I can go back into my pajamas and do homework at home and prepare for the presentation.

What literally went into my brain right now was the image of a cuckoo clock going off. I hope I am not going to get a mental break down any time soon. I am relying on this website to help combat that.

I am slowly learning the math right now so I am glad my brain is cooperating right now. Never mind, as he is showing the answers I am realizing I only got like 56% percent of what he is teaching us right now.

Now my stomach hurts for some reason. I think I need to organize my chatgpt to make a Japanese and Math chat for that. When do I even have time to do anything.

Yea I feel like all this math is going over my head right now. I think once I get home or, I guess I am going to really have to rely on my weekend to give me the time I need to do my Japanese homework and study for math test.

Ah, I guess that is what is different today. He went straight into the lesson. He usually begins class with reviewing the homework and asking any questions that people have so maybe that is why my brain was overstimulated. I like sort of gradually working up into doing math than just going all out in the beginning.

Yea, I am really going to have to concentrate this weekend.. The word concentrate made me flashback to when I was in the car with Kenta.

...Driving requires concentration, Kayla...

I remember him holding my hand the whole time he had the other one on the wheel.

Reo must be scared not hearing his hospital results yet. I am scared too...

Ryan finally replied about the club:

Lazy club day🤙

Geez... I feel like I am way more serious about Japanese than anyone else on the council. Oh well, that just makes me look better I guess. I shouldn't be mentally punishing people for their lack of motivation or gumption. My actions are my actions, their actions are theirs.

Oh! Math class has ended early today. Thank god, I am getting straight home and working and the crap for tomorrow. He gave us a study guide for the test so I feel like that is going to be the most useful. I know he is a math teacher so their logical by default but his ways of thinking and teaching style is also very pliable. He must be a NT type in MBTI.
