I've made a decent study plan for my upcoming exams, though I'll admit I'm very scared. Also, I've finally decided to add dried snapdragon (flowers) to my commonplace notebook. We'll be moving out in a month, and I'll have to leave this beautiful garden behind as well. I've spent more than twelve years here, so I'm drying some flowers from the garden and placing them at random pages in my notebook.
21 days left for preparation..........

🤦🏻♀️: I need to get myself together. I'm so pathetic. Except for attending classes, I spent the entire day just reading Webtoon.

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.
I’ve defiled the very first page of my new journal—the one destined to be my sacred commonplace book. A grand beginning, now tainted beyond repair. Truly, my talent knows no bounds.(sarcasm, of course)
I tend to get a bit dramatic...... nevermind.
I messed up really badly. I'm scoring so low on my entrance exam—though the results aren't out yet, I'm sure I won't get into any B-school with these marks. At this rate, all I can hope for is to get into some university. I'm afraid I've ruined my life.
Book Review;
(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 It contains some good poetry, a lot of historical references, and some information about haiku as well.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.

📓: I've finished setting up my April study journal.
🚶🏻♀️: My daily routine has been too sedentary; I should start taking walks again.
😤: I have only 25 days to study for the entrance exam; it's time to lock in.
📍Agra Fort, Agra
These are not very good photos of Agra Fort from the outside. I took them from a moving car, and this is the best I could do.
