I had a day off today. This morning, I attended the Zoom meeting in English. On Sundays, we enjoy so-called "free topic discussion or chitchat" usually. This time, the main topic was about how our physical conditions have been changing with actual aging. In my case, even though I still love eating beef and pork, my body has started declaring they are too oily or heavy, therefore now I rarely have ramen in my daily life. Instead, I have started choosing sushi or any fish dishes to have (especially, this autumnal season I hope I could have mackerels, pacific saury, and salmons).
After that Zoom meeting, in my room, I enjoyed another "deep" group discussion (a sort of chitchat session?) by using the app clubhouse. The main topic was anime and "light" novels for mainly teenagers, and the members shared their vast pieces of knowledge about that so-called "otaku" culture freely. They also referred to gender and sexuality issues, and I have thought this. I tend to divide ourselves as men and women (into two sexes). However, at least looking into our mental sexuality, it seems not "completely men" and also "100% female". Instead, people can be put on a kind of gradation of sexuality, as our brains' characters can be put anywhere between so-called autistic ones and neurotypicals.
I went to the main house of my group home and saw the sub-admin. We talked about tomorrow's event that I would go to a hospital in this town to have my ears checked at its ENT. After that, I went back to my room and started taking a deep, so deep break. As the manga "My Leisurely Language Diary [こまきときこ『つれづれ語学日記』]" by Tokiko Komaki I recently have been enjoying suggests, I decided to start the new habit of enjoying listening to a BBC's program for English learners, and found this: "OMG! It seems British English requires me more practice severely!".
But anyway, this kind of practicing my skills of English must afford a certain feeling for me which says I have been progressing on my way, or achieving something. I often forget my purpose of learning English in my daily life (yes, I often get lost), so this kind of steady, basic practice will tell me my "mission" again. I want to become a sort of "bridge" between this town and foreigners. To be continued.
