All things aside, I hit the jackpot today. I found my digital camera, along with my dad's old geography, biology, and economics books, plus a bunch of maps, diaries, manuals, and language learning guides from Japan. He was going to throw everything away, so I picked out the stuff I want to keep—the rest will be discarded.
I'm going to study Quant now.
My current art skills shouldn't be judged based on this—it was drawn almost three years ago, when I was 15.
Analyzing past papers to get a sense of what to expect in the entrance exam amid the tensions throughout the nation.
This turns out to be a Hakata doll, not a Kokeshi. Thank you @kojiiwata for letting me know!!
More info about these dolls that I looked up on the internet;
A Hakata doll is a traditional Japanese clay doll that originated in Fukuoka (formerly known as Hakata), on the island of Kyushu. These dolls are typically hand-crafted and painted, known for their realistic details, soft colors, and serene expressions.
This is the modern version of a kokeshi (こけし) doll. Though they are usually made of wood, the ones used as decorations or souvenirs are often made of clay, ceramic, or other materials.
I have three days left before my entrance exam. I didn’t study much today, but I’ll try my best to complete at least one English book.
Books that I bought for May. I've already had three of them on my tablet, and since I liked them, I decided to buy their paperbacks. Siddhartha and Kitchen are the ones that I'll be reading for the first time. I bought some stuff from Daiso as well, as there was a sale going on there.
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.
