I woke up at 7am to practice my swinging. Indeed I felt refreshed afterwards. There may be something about endorphins after all. Anyway, I got ready for school and left when it wasn't rush hour. I found myself bored at school waiting for the first period. I was early after all. That's when it hit me. Technology isn't evil per se. It's about how you use it. To make the long story short, I know that I don't have a fancy phone, but what if I had something else that's fancy? Like a tablet?

Yeah, it's a recent craze, because I hear that tablets these days are becoming super fast. I'll ask Keitaro-senpai to help me look for one. I admit that I'm not knowledgeable enough how to choose the best tablet for me. As for using it, well, I'm eager to use it, so I'd be eager to learn. I went home in the afternoon. I have no homework. No paper due. It's one of those easy Mondays. But as a student, everyone knows that it's a calm before the storm.

Shinobu-chan and Naru-senpai are away right now. The apartment seems really quiet. Actually, Shinobu-chan left for family reasons. She wouldn't tell us the exact reason, because she's unsure herself. But she said that she'll be helping her mom and dad with a lot of things this February. She'll be back next month. As for Naru-senpai, she's doing working field work due to her requirement course. She said she'll be gone for two weeks. So it's just us left: Me, Kaolla, Kitsune-san, Kentaro-san and Keitaro-senpai.

I was thinking of making chocolates for Keitaro-senpai. But I wouldn't know where to start. I didn't make one in the end. But when I saw Kaolla-chan give him her own home-made chocolates, (even though they were a dud -- she made them spicy -- spicy chocos I know...) I couldn't help feel bad at myself for not trying. Keitaro-senpai even thanked her, even though his lips were swollen red. Also, Mutsumi-san dropped by today and gave Keitaro-senpai chocolates. They don't restrain themselves, do they? I admire how honest Mutsumi-san can be. As for me, I'm just glad this Valentine's Day scheme is over.

I don't know why I can't sleep. It's almost 5am in the morning, and it's still too early for me to even go for a jog or meditate. Who am I kidding? I just want to go back to sleep. I plan to vacate my Thursday and take it easy. I've tried the warm milk routine, counting sheep and reading. Writing is boring, so I'm trying whatever means to go back to sleep. I don't care about what I write, I feel like I have to write something. Or else I won't shush my mind up. It doesn't have to be special. What's important is that by writing I can fall aslee

I apologize if I haven't written anything as of now. To be frank, I had no intention to write tonight as well, but I couldn't sleep. I did not expect that my teacher would give a remark that could make me lose sleep. We handed in our career survey yesterday. She asked me to see her in her office. And then she told me that being an exorcist isn't really a career, to the strictest sense, and that I should carefully plan my future. I told sensei that I would inherit the dojo as the next head, and that my future is set. She went as far as calling the household for a visit! This means that I have to go home to meet her there. Sigh. How troublesome. Sensei is really serious about this, huh? I didn't know that she was hardworking.

Anyway, I know that it's my life. My decisions are what matter in the end. But what if mother and father realize this, and for some twist of fate, object and tell me to become something else, what would be that something else? What else am I good for? I'm not sure as well. Keitaro-senpai, Narusegawa-senpai, they know what they want to become and they're already working hard on it. Kitsune-san, as lazy as she is, she's already a novelist. Shinobu-chan knows she a great cook and she'll probably open her own restaurant someday. Kaolla-chan is still young and she invents a lot of things -- or she'll eventually go back to her kingdom. Either way, she's already settled because she's royalty. Kana-chan knows how to manage and she'll eventually start her own inn or something. But what else do I have if not for being an exorcist?
