To all the DMDU teams, congratulations on your successes in the tournament. It's unfortunate that no championships were won, but you should all be proud of your accomplishments. There is always next year to look forward to.

Momoi, if there is nothing else going on, would the Saturday after Golden Week work for a training camp?

I was walking across the Matsukawa River when I noticed the sakura in bloom.

I'm pleased to say I've passed my exams. As such, I've been able to spend more time on other pursuits such as basketball, shogi, reading, playing piano, and of course, staying caught up on Oha Asa.

Kominato, did you do well? I hope our study session helped you do well.

Ennoshita, I know you are probably quite busy with the volleyball team in preparation for Nationals, but if you are still available, I'll be at the cafe Saturday afternoon.

I can't believe I'm about to do this. Aomine. Handkerchief. Brown. Were you able to finish your paper on WWII?

Exams have been suitably challenging. I feel as though I am really putting what I have been learning to use.

After discussing my options with my father and grandfather, I've decided to specialize in orthopedic surgery with an emphasis in sports medicine. It joins two of my interests and I think I would connect better with my patients.

Unfortunately, it seems as thought the vending machine near my dorm is out of red bean soup. I have enough to get me through the last of my exams, but I do hope they restock it soon.
midorimas: (annoyed)
Even with making all of my shots, we still lost. Regardless of that, I think we grew more as a team which will prove useful in the future.

Congratulations to the other DMDU teams who will be going on to the next round. I will be cheering you on from Toyama.

The Winter Festival was interesting, to say the least. I'm not sure who thought of the doctor & nurse café, but it went well.

I went to go see "The Martian" yesterday after a suggestion from my mother. While I prefer finishing the book before going to see the movie adaptation, there just isn't a lot of time to devote to leisure reading lately. I did enjoy the film though. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I do recommend it if you're looking for a more dramatic type of science fiction/action movie.

Ennoshita, would you like to make Saturday our regular shogi meet-up day?

Despite being last in the rankings yesterday I am pleased that we won the morning match against Nenoda. Our afternoon match against Togei was more difficult than our captain had anticipated. Regardless, I still made all my shots.

Ennoshita, do you feel you are picking up on shogi well enough? If you have the basics down, I'd like to play a full game to see what we need to work on next.

Momoi, would you be so kind as to join me for tea or coffee at the nearby café? My treat. Today, you will need a ballpoint pen and the color beige.

I used the break to help my father and grandfather at their clinic back in Tokyo. It was mostly observation, but still good practice nonetheless. My father is pleased with my progress, but he still wants to know what my specialty will be. I said I would know after this year wraps up as I'm still taking the last bit of introductory courses.

My little sister had a piano recital just after the new year and she did splendid. I knew she would, considering her horoscope was in the top position that day. Afterwards, we went out for dinner at one of her favorite places, Ginza Torishige. It was quite good.

We also went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens with Takao. My sister thoroughly enjoyed it. She made plans to see it again with a group of her friends. I managed a round of golf with my father and grandfather as well. It will never be as satisfying as basketball, however.

Third place is obviously not the outcome we wanted, but it was a much better result than our last tournament. The training camp clearly helped.

Cancer was ranked seven spots higher than Gemini the day of the tournament and as I was already reading a paperback book, all I had to do was include something grey. I believe following that morning's guidance contributed to our success. That, and making all of my shots.

I am not surprised at the outcome, but I lost to Akashi at shogi today. It had been a long-going online game considering our prior commitments with training and school. If I had only had two more moves, I would have defeated him for the first time ever I would have won. There is always next time, I suppose.

The mental stimulation was good. As was training camp. I think the team came together a bit more over those few days. Though, I swear if I get called "Shin-chan" one more time... I hope it leads to success in the upcoming winter tournament.

I am feeling generous due to the season. Here are today's lucky items and colors.

Happy birthday, Niou.

I recommend carrying around a reference book and having something in a beige color on your person today.

Apparently, I am to be an elf at the local mall for the holidays. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like it will take that much time away from my studies or basketball practice. I was slightly concerned that it might.

My little sister has convinced my parents to put up a tree this year. She didn't specify artificial or real, so I suppose it will be a surprise for when I visit over the holidays. I just hope she hasn't used some of my smaller lucky items for ornaments.

As expected, I did well on my exams. That extra studying paid off. It will be nice not to carry around those bonus materials for awhile.

I got in a few hours practice before the rest of the team arrived. There is something about the sanctity of a gym when the only thing you can hear is the sound of a basketball hitting the court. Nothing but net, every time.

Did you follow the Oha Asa advice I gave you?

Being in the middle of pack did DMDU no favors. I didn't miss any shots, but perhaps the dedication of my teammates is lacking when they'd rather be studying. Nonetheless, I will continue to practice even if they don't. Namely because it is good stress relief.
