Staying Bookstore without Reading

I didn’t wake up a little this morning, so I messed up on the bed for a while, but suddenly I came up with a good idea and got up and got ready. I had decided what to do today, and it was the correction work of the master’s thesis submitted the day after tomorrow and the preparation of the answer sheet. I was wondering if I would work at home normally, but by the way, I remembered that I had received a one-day ticket when I bought a new book in bulk at Hirao’s Yazu book, and I used it to make a book. I decided to work at.

Of course, the selection of books is not too sharp, and the exquisite selection of books is attractive, but the 2nd and 3rd floors are like working spaces for members only. Depending on the amount of the book you purchased, you will receive a one-hour, three-hour, and one-day ticket. When I used the one-hour ticket before, it took almost a while to visit, so today was the first time I actually used it. I left home after 9am and went by bicycle and started working around 10am. There were various out-of-print rare books in the working space, including books in the sales floor, but today I didn’t notice such things, and I just worked on correcting the treatise on my PC. Unlike when I was at home, there was no other temptation, so I was able to concentrate relatively. On the way, I went out for lunch and bought beef bowl and vegetable soup at a lunch box shop that seems to be run by a nearby social welfare organization and ate it at the park. The weather was nice and I felt like “Spring is coming soon” and it felt like a comfortable holiday. I went back and continued the work. Actually, I was planning to stay near the store and use up the one-day pass, but I decided to buy it because it was finished at about 15:00.

When I got home, I saw the third outrage film I was thinking of watching at night. I think it was the best of the previous three works, and if I have some free time around next week, I’ll go see the “Yakuza and Family” that is being released now. After watching the movie, it wasn’t long before I was writing this diary. Actually, I watched the movie early and tried to continue the revision of the treatise in my spare time at night, but I couldn’t. I’ve experienced it many times, and I know it’s sloppy, but it seems that the switch turns off automatically when it gets dark. So I’m going to sleep today and get up early tomorrow morning to continue in the morning. I have a Fab Lab part-time job in the afternoon, so I would like to send it to my teacher once in the morning. I think, but maybe not. The submission will be in the evening the day after tomorrow, so I think it will be possible, but I’m a little impatient. However, I can’t do it today anymore, so tomorrow. good night.
