A few weeks ago I saw a mouse passing and hiding behind furniture, after that I saw her a few more times in the spawn of a few days but couldn't catch her so I put a live trap that never caught her, she ended up hiding under the kitchen cabinets, it's hard to explain how they look but basically there is NO way to accede there.
a few days after my mom managed to catch the mouse (accidentally killing her)

A week ago I heard something in my room chewing, I woke up to a few plastic packs chewed and open, I put te live trap, it didn't catch a thing. A few days after I hear chewing behind the fridge, I managed to see the mouse with a lamp (it wasn't chewing on the fridge thank god, just eating something) I put the live trap and 2 days later catches the little mouse. I released him and thought it was over but tonight I heard it again, there is another one, again, live trap, this morning it caught nothing 🫤

I know there aren't lots of them because except from the chewing in my room (that wasn't a lot) they haven't chewed anything else + I haven't found any poop.
I live next to an empty land and they live there so I know where they are coming from but I wouldn't like them reproducing in my house because my parents would have to start killing them

I really hope it didn't reproduce under the cabinets because it would be the worst situation

I work at the front in restaurant that works the same way as a subway (I do your plate, you tell me the ingredients) + other things.
It's a bit expensive and close to the nice side of the city so like 90% of the clients live there, I am not saying that rich people are inherently bad but I genuinely believed that the
Rich = Mean
stereotype was more of a movie thing but most of them treat me like I don't even know how to describe it? a nuisance? a burden?
Like having to interact with me to get their lunch ready is the worst part of their day

I obviously have to be nice and smiling but it's exhausting when from their part there is no hello, no thank you, not a smile, nothing. The whole time they're texting on their phone or looking at their social media, not even looking at me or their plate, I have to repeat the question several times, each time getting a "huh?" for me to repeat it, then finally answering annoyed.
And that's just most of them, there are worst and a few nice ones I appreciate obviously.

I've never treated anyone like that, I can't even understand how they're not ashamed, I don't get why they act like that honestly. Like don't you see that we are all exhausted, in the middle of the 10 hour shift where you are always working and cleaning without pause and can't even sit?

But well, I suppose it's just the normal customer service experience

I don't know how to explain this, last time I was in love was like 4 years ago and it was a girl, since them I haven't even had a crush on anyone, while I'm sure I like women I struggle with knowing if I like men too? I thought maybe I was bi but even tho I find some men attractive I can't imagine myself being with them.

For example I got my first job this week and I find one of my coworkers very attractive but the moment I think "would I want to be with him?" or "do I want to kiss him?" I get some kind of ick, it's an immediate NO. It's not because of his personality or anything, he's a really good person, so I don't know why this happens

While when it comes to women if I find one attractive, even If I am not in love the response is different

As I said I find him attractive but not in a "oh he's handsome" kind of way, more in the way you find your crush attractive, and you look at them. And that's why it's so confusing

I am not hurrying to get a label, honestly I feel better like this, just loving whoever I fall in love with but I wonder if this is a common experience

I am about to start working, a typical 9-5, and I'm scared I won't have much time at home to study so I wonder if there's a way to learn at work? I think there will be some days where I'll be able to use the phone for 30 minutes at a time when there aren't any customers but this won't be often.
I'll try to negotiate to move my work hours so my free time at home is not distributed throughout the day and I can study a few hours at home
But I would like to know if someone has any tips to continue learning when I can't even use headphones

So I want to buy a book for studying for the N3 level, I self studied until now with Minna No Nihongo 1 and 2.

Since I don't have the chance to go to classes or get a teacher I need to make sure to book I'm about to buy can be studied without help

I saw that Tobira needs a teacher that reviews what you answer in the exercise to be helpful, so I'm wondering if Shinkanzen master has a similar problem, and also if it's a good option to use after Minna No Nihongo
Or maybe I should continue with minna no Nihongo?

I would really appreciate so help or guidance on the topic, any advice is appreciated😄

Women are so judged compared to men. If you don't do it perfectly you are immediately "dumb" or "incapable". Even if you always do it great, the ONE single time you fail you instantly lose all credibility.
While men can try, fail, try again, etc... and even if they fail most of the time, the second they succeed they are seen as experts and are applauded. They are not ashamed nor scared to try and to live because they are not judged by society.

This applies at work, at school, in sports, with your hobbies, etc..

We are humans, we are not robots. Do not let them think that you are not allowed to try or be bad at something. Live freely, stop thinking you need to be PERFECT.

I am currently N4 and about to start studying for N3. I don't remember where but I saw a few people talking about that even tho reaching N3 is hard it's significantly harder than what you would expect, like if reaching N4 was a little step and reaching N3 was a whole kilometer.
Just asking to know what to expect, I didn't think it would be exhausting, I thought it would be more fun since you can finally start consuming entertaining media.

I know people have asked here many times about intermediate or N3 book recommendations but I specifically need one for self studying.

I just saw some comments talking about how the Tobira exercises are not the best for self studying so I would rather not buy a book that will end up frustrating me.
I have heard about Shinkansen master but I don't know how good it is for studying alone.

For reference I finished MNN I and II but I don't know if the intermediate book that follows is good or if there are better options

every advice is appreciated, thank you 😄

So I find like 3 different ones on YouTube, I learned one but I keep trying to see what Hide is playing during the live recordings and I think I learned the wrong one.
So if anyone who has checked the live recordings could please tell me or send me the real tab I would really appreciate it 😄

So I don't know how to explain my japanese level other than saying I am around what would be jlpt N4. Soon I'll finish my textbook, including vocabulary and almost all of the kanjis that are considered N4.

After that instead of jumping into an N3 textbook I want to really practice what I know so I'll take some time dedicated to that.

So I was thinking about the normal things like reading, watching YouTube, podcasts, practice talking and writing, etc...
But I came to ask if there are more ways, maybe more efficient, any ideas? or how do you really practice

Also if there's is some book/shows recommendation for my level

any advice is appreciated, thank you 😄
