スペイン語日記翻訳【13】

何を思ったか、スケジュール通りに一日を過ごそうと思いたち始めたことなのですが、当然最初の頃は一週間スケジュールを書かず一週間分のスケジュールを書いたりすることがあり、なんのためのスケジュールかなと思ったこともありましたけどなんやかんやで続けていくごとにスケジュールではなく一日のまとめを書く日記になっていきました。

Eso me hizo preguntarme: “¿Para qué sirve realmente un diario?”
Sin embargo, seguí usándolo, y ahora he decidido resumir lo que pasa cada día, en lugar de controlar mi horario diario.
