Sometimes, when I feel like I've got nothing to do, I like to kick off my shoes and run barefoot around the meadow on campus. My brother doesn't understand why I do it, so I tell him it's for stress relief. There are only so many hours I can sit still in a desk before I feel the need to get up and start running around. I was able to hold off on it until after lunch this time, but I don't know whether or not I'll be able to do it again. It's a lot easier for me, because I can actually stand upright now that I don't have to lug that heavy case around anymore. Today, I ran around outside for two whole hours...well, it seemed that way, anyway. I don't remember exactly how long it was. I think I left my brother's watch  in my room.

There are times when I can see Mashiro-sama looking down here from the window of her office. I can't tell whether or not she's smiling at me, because when I look up, I can only see the silhouette. I hope she doesn't think I'm trying to tread on her flower garden.
