BGM: Phil Collins - A Groovy Kind of Love

I had a day off today. This morning, I went to AEON as usual. There, I tried to write some pieces of idea in English on my memo pad, but couldn't concentrate on. So I gave up writing. Instead, I decided to change my mind. My hair was so fluffy that I had my hair cut at a barber (it costed just 1,000 yen). After that, I had a lunchbox and took a nap.

It seemed that within my head there were some clusters of thoughts/idea of mine, which were waiting for being released into the world. However, there must also have been a sort of stopper that disturbed their flowing. This afternoon, I tried to write an article for the English conversation class as my homework, but I couldn't find any good idea. I wanted to write about several idea such as Fuji TV's ongoing scandalous issue, a Japanese book about Donald Trump, or how to manage my money with my admins' help. But they didn't suit for my mood.

At last, I chose a topic that was about this year 2025 would be the 10th year since I restarted learning English. 10 years before, I could never imagine the current situation that surrounds me actually as now... Now, through my hobbies (except learning English, on Discord, MeWe, and the app LINE I have gotten in touch with several people who are also interested in literature and philosophy) I can share my idea with them casually. Like that, I outputted my idea onto a handout.

After completing the homework, I sent celebration messages for Lunar New Year to the friends in China on WeChat. Finishing that, there was still a certain time so I opened a favorite Japanese author, Toshiki Komazawa's "A Message To Voyager [駒沢敏器ボイジャーに伝えて』]". However, on LINE I found an interesting issue about the inferiority complex about English among us, the Japanese people. So, I enjoyed that discussion for a while.

After that, I went to the English conversation class. There, we learned a lesson about several proverbs such as "we reap what we sow" etc. I had to tell a favorite of mine in the class, so told them an aphorism by Singer's "Life is God's novel. Let him write it". However, it must be different from general proverbs (oh my!). After that, we learned how to use articles such as "a", "an", and "the" properly. It was a great lesson for me as usual. I really appreciate it.
