Happy Hikikomori =)

Today I woke up at noon and just looked up potential graduate schools I can apply to for next year. At around 4PM I was hungry so I went to that new bakery around the corner again :) Because I went at an earlier time than last time, I had more to choose from! Yay!! I got a loaf of white bread (very very silky and soft inside), curry filled bun, cheesy baguette, veggies & tomato sauce on a bun, and tuna & cheese roll. I had some of them and they tasted very very nice. I’m so happy the shop is within the walking distance from my apartment.

Then at around 6PM, I started working on my assignment for class, which is due not until next Monday. I didn’t finish it. Well, technically, I could keep working and finish it tonight because it’s 2/3 done, but I don’t feel like it.

Basically, I felt like I wanted to bum around today, and I did. lol Everybody has a day like this, right? Happy 引きこもり(hikikomori = someone who doesn’t get out of your room all day, or the act of.)!lol

Though I gotta admit… when I am not productive, I do feel guilty at the end of the day… :(
