one more for the culinary club
My senpai at the track team visited me after school. Senpai said that she quit the team as well. We chatted for a while in my room and I said I'm fine. I mean, I'm still active at the culinary club. I was wondering why she quit. I didn't expect that she would ask for my help; she wants to join the culinary club. She said that she wants to learn how to cook. She said his boyfriend is looking forward to hand-made lunches. And so she wants to cook for his lunch everyday. Everyday?
It's funny how our conversation turned out. I thought that she'd be sad for quitting, but I found out that she doesn't like how the club works. Senpai says she can't wait for the seniors to graduate. She complained how greedy their system works. I said I'd definitely help senpai join the culinary arts club. Apparently, there's also a district cook off that the culinary club is interested to join.

go.
dear diary,
I ran with all my heart. I ran like I've never ran before. I ran as my life depended on it. And I'm glad that I ran today.
It's been a fun experience. And I thanked everyone who were there for me today.

get set.
dear diary,
Tomorrow's the day. I can't give up now, diary. I'll do my best! I'll run with all my heart and I'll make sure I do. Even though I feel kind of weird right now, I'm going to show up tomorrow and not let my senpais down -- especially to my senpai who have given her time to me helping me train. It has been a long journey. I know it's going to be a first experience but no matter what happens, I'll do my best! Fight-o!

dazed but not down
I knew it. My body couldn't handle the workout. When I woke up this morning, I had a running fever. The weather changed too soon. I couldn't really get up. My legs were all stiff. I tried to walk downstairs to make some icepacks for my knees. I didn't expect to collapse.
Motoko-san saw me and carried me back to my room. She said to just take it easy today. She said I was feeling normal. I guess she's right, I mean she knows how to practice her workout properly. I'm just a bit worried whether I could make it into the district's athletic meet. I don't want to let everybody down.
Naru-senpai called the school this morning. And my track senpais went to visit me. They said they were sorry for being hard on me, but I never believed they were hard on me. Not even a thread of belief. I was just new. Even if I was practicing for two weeks, I still have a lot to learn. The athletic meet is on Friday, June 10. If we make it into the top 3, we'll proceed to the prefectural meet. Which is a lot tougher, around 29th of June.
I'm marking that on my calendar, since everybody believes that I can do it. I'm confident we'll be on the Prefectural meet.

Shinobu moves into the Hinata Apartments after her parents divorce.
Part of the reason is her great fear of uncomfortable or embarrassing situations,
which emerges from time to time during her stay in the Hinata Apartments.
She's generally very shy and quiet, but her time in Hinata will eventually warm her up to new freindships.
She's the friendliest of the residents, with no angst against anyone and with no one disliking her.
She's very practical and very diligent since she had to take care of herself a lot before she moved in.
She's a good cook who frequently does the meals for the residents. And she's perhaps the only resident who
treats Keitaro with any consistent respect. She's always kind to him when no one else is.
Shinobu has a crush on Keitaro, but she keeps it respectably low-key, showing her appreciation in the simple
things she does around the apartments. She currently resides in Room 201.
