I need to have a japanese blog Langcorrect is sort of serving as that but I don't know if that will be enough. I also need more words. Since each story I make is a word of the day, I need to go through Anki.

What am I working for? What am I using my money for? For School? I mean I am being funded by school and the Government but, what am I working for?

I guess I am working for words. I feel like crying but I want to figure this out. I think the housework and all that stuff doesn't really matter as much as figuring out how to properly sort of computer usage and timers.

Well I guess I figured it out, I am using each computer to write. I am writing three books, essentially.

My stomach hurts from all the energy drinks I have been using.

I am grateful for the chance to work over here. Especially since I guess the reward is seen now as I am successfully avoiding mopping the floor.

TM Revolution is on repeat I guess, I don't remember doing that but, I am not bad.

Almost done with the soup. I want to go back to bed. My eyes are so crusty all the time, I have no idea why. I guess I have been crying more lately so maybe I am not washing my face well enough.

I ate more gummies because I just realized it is Saturday and tomorrow is going to be Sunday, my free day. It isn't really going to be so free since I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow but maybe getting out of the house is exactly what I need right now.

Well not right now it is almost 10pm. I heart people outside my apartment, I know it is probably just my neighbors but... it scared me a little bit. Just you hope that no one goes looking in your window or something.

I have to remember I subscribed to Doordash but I think there was one more thing I failed to write down in my planner that I subscribed to recently.

Ah, maybe it was the mouthwash subscription on amazon that is lingering in the back of my mind. Yea, I didn't get stuff done today because of the whole door dash catastrophe.

I am no longer hard of myself, I feel like a scribe in a hidden temple cloister.

I need to find my video camera.

I guess I don't really need to be on camera.

I need to go to the bathroom now but my mom is cleaning it. I only have one bathroom too. My toilet paper is coming in today as well so I only have 1 roll left.

I am finally back on my Work computer. It has been a while, I have kind of been avoiding standing here because, I guess this corner of the room represents toil. I am surprised I remember the word toil. How am I going to learn that in Japanese?

I am also almost caught up on my Todo list but I think I need to utilize that to actually plan out what I need to do for the Powerpoint presentation.

I am a little worried I'm overdoing it though. When Keely and I went over the email, it seemed like the teacher might've just wanted 1 simple slide rather than a full on powerpoint presentation.

I am just going to make a presentation anyway, better to be safe than sorry.

It is already ridiculous that me at my age is still going to Japanese classes, I might as well be proficient.
