I gave a mock lecture at a high school in Tomakomai this morning. 

Although the high school shares its campus buildings with a university, I did not see any university student. 

I wonder if everything is alright there.

On the way back to the university, I got drowsy on the highway—it was a close call.

In the afternoon, I got caught in a heavy downpour on my way to the hospital. 

I was soaked.

I am truly exhausted today.

I'm at Jozankei for a seminar retreat.

I have to go to Tomakomai by 9:00 tomorrow morning for a mock lecture. 

I really messed up.

Today I worked as well.

I had a meeting regarding the academic conference in December.

In the evening, I worked on preparations for a lecture scheduled for early October and on a project for the Hokkaido Development Bureau.

There is still so much left to do.

I am running out of time.

Today I had one class.

In the afternoon I went to Tobetsu to see NevaGiva at which Tobetsu high school students submitted their projects.

It was heartening to see the adults in the town stepping up to help raise the children.

I returned to my lab. and continued my studies in tax law.

I have a lot to do over the next two weeks.

20260924 res cottidianae

Classes starts.

But today is the national holiday.

I do not think there is any need to have classes.

I am tired, as it has been a while.

To make up for feeling unwell on Sunday, I am going to study really hard tomorrow and the day after.

20260920 res cottidianae

I felt unwell.

I spent the morning lying down.

In the afternoon, I went to my lab. to work, but I was not feeling well, so I did not make much progress.

I had a bit of a problem.

20260919 res cottidianae

I worked today...

But I felt unwell from the afternoon...

I have lots to do.

I hope I do not get sick.

20260918 res cottidianae

I visited the Niseko area for my research.

It was highly productive.

I will incorporate what I learned into a lecture I give in early October.

Work piles up when I am away for a day.

20260917 res cottidianae

Working again today. 

I went to see the professor who had retired so I could talk things over. 

I am really grateful for that. 

Still, I can not get my work finished.

20260916 res cottidianae

I had two meetings.

I was bored.

I ca not go along with such opportunism. 

I need to focus on what I have to do.

20260915 res cottidianae

I had a meeting...

And I prepared tomorrows meeting...

I do not have enough time to study...

But I do my best.

20260914 res cottidianae

Today as usual.

I went home about 24:30...

I was tired...

Tomorrow I have to make progress on my research...

20260913 res cottidianae

Today I worked at my lab.

Having not been to the university for a week, I caught up on the work that had piled up during that time.

Afterward I turned my attention to my research and began drafting my articles.

While I come to the university and work almost every day, there are colleagues who do not show up at all. 

I think that while those research papers/articles and teaching achievements may be tolerated, individuals lacking such credentials have no business being university faculty members.

20260912 res cottidianae

I returned to Sapporo.

I am a little bit tired...

But I study harder tomorrow.
