(2.5/5 ⭐)
I think this is a good book. It contains some good poetry, a lot of historical references, and some information about haiku as well. The poem collection is quite vast — it includes haiku about daily life, beautiful moments, and even some that are quite sexual. There’s also poetry on politics. Overall, it’s a decent book, but I think there should have been more haiku. The author/publisher included some unnecessary content toward the end, like the romaji of the Japanese poems — not once, but twice. The book also contains some explicit images, which were historical illustrations drawn in Japan.

Trying to study amid self-conflicts and doubts. I'm so depressed and worried about my future.
I've got three more exams to take, and I'm going to try my best in them. I've got some days where I'll be studying for 12+ hours. I can do this! 💪🏻

I just updated my budget and money management log (lol, I don’t earn anything, but I’ve got a decent amount from pocket money), and I overspent this month—all on books. I’ve already bought seven books; I really need to set a limit. Some books are very expensive, but I buy them because I’ve been wanting to read them for a while and they’re low on stock—so, yeah, expensive.
Guys, good news! I got an acceptance letter from a university! I'm so happy. It may not be the best one, but I'm proud that I cleared their entrance exam. I still have many exams ahead of me, and if I qualify those, I could get into a better university or B-school.

Time left for the exam: 2 days
After all the shopping and fulfilling the reason I came to another city — to take the entrance exam — I'm now back at the hotel, drinking green tea to digest all the heavy food that's hard to avoid while traveling. I'm also writing a few things in my pocket diary. After this, I'll study a bit, maybe some English grammar and vocabulary. I have one more test tomorrow.
