Hot weather for the first time in two weeks and the sound of crickets

Today it was much hotter than days before. I was surprised that today's high was higher than 30 degrees Celsius. But the hot weather is typical of this time of the year. This year it was unusual in that in the beginning of August high temperature was more than 35 degrees on several days, but after that, it became rainy and much colder, with high temperature no more than 25 degrees.
In the last few years, I was annoyed with hot weather at this time of the year although fall had begun on calendar.

So was the weather, in the evening, I hear the sound of crickets even more. It had been so cold in the past few days that they sounded much more active.

I looked up the entry of the word cricket, and found that the editor may not feel positive feeling about the sound crickets make, but I as a Japanese take the sound as pleasant, as long as it doesn't interrupt my sleep.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
