今日は土曜です。十時半に起きました。そのあと朝御飯にコーヒーと卵のトーストを作りました。食べた後は二時間ぐらい勉強しました。

先週仕事に行きて、ロンドロマットに行きて、後メキシカンのレストランに行きました。ブリートとチュロスを買いました。すごく辛いブリートから、ちょっと嫌いでした。でもチュロス美味しいでした。

Today is Sunday. I woke up at 10:30。And then for breakfast I made coffee and egg toast. After I ate, I studied for about 2 hours.

Last week, after I went to work and the laundromat, I went to a Mexican restaurant. I bought a burrito and churros. Because the burrito was extremely spicy, I disliked it a little bit. But the churros were delicious.

Retranslating it here to English while reading what I wrote in Japanese, I know there are likely many grammatical mistakes. 😅 I'm especially not confident in my use of 後 (あと) to imply doing something after another thing. Technically, I haven't gotten to that grammar point in Genki 1 yet, but I keep using it when creating English sentences/thoughts to translate as practice so I'm hoping to get more confident in it.

I'll be sending this to my tutor for review, but appreciate any helpful critics and comments from others who know Japanese! ☺️

今日はにじはんかんぐらい勉強しました。

It doesn't look like much, but I did manage to answer the workbook questions with minimal looking up of words, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

Will try to do the same amount of time tomorrow. 🫡

Completed some homework assignments in the past hour or so, possibly two? What even is time?

Just waiting to get feedback from my tutor, but probs won't happen till our next session which is next Thursday.

But in the meantime, I'm going to try and do some journal entries to practice more this weekend. There may be spelling and grammar mistakes, but hopefully my tutor will be okay checking those during our next session too.

avoided an oncoming meltdown and did in fact make it 45min on the treadmill. Found a site to start watching Alice in Borderlands so that gave me the push to stay on that much longer.

Showered. Hair washed. Moisturizing and then grabbin a scoop of chocolate ice cream before zonking out. 💪🏽✨️

土曜日たくさん寝ましたでも7時に半ぐらい友達のうちに行きました。友だちとBrother Bearの映画を観ました。あの映画が大好きです。面白いといい心です。

Not sure if the last sentences are more natural as:

あの映画が大好きだから面白いといい心です。

Making a Baggu dupe for a friend's going away present. This was a mockup to see if I could do the pattern justice and she loves the colors so going to make hers later this week. Hoping to get a local company to embroider her initials or a small image of something to remind her of the area. Fingers crossed that won't be an arm and a leg!

Really stoked with how it's turned out so far! Especially since I didn't have a zipper foot or a top stitch foot.
