English Sprint Day 3
Today is Christmas Eve; However, I started my day at Starbucks just as I did yesterday. Today's drink was a cafe latte.
I picked up the English grammar book and read it from Unit 50. I read the text softly to myself since I was in the cafe.
Around two hours later, I felt sleepy, so I pulled out my iPad to doodle, hoping to stay awake. But when I realized the time, it was already 1 hour past! Thankfully, I felt much less sleepy thanks to doodling. It always feels like time flies when I draw.
The cafe started to get crowded past 9 a.m., so I closed the book when I reached Unit 70. After that, I headed to the office and worked for two hours. I tested our project and wrote a report about it. (By the way, it was written in Korean, so I am going to translate it into English after this journal. haha.)
I felt under the weather today, so I couldn't study as much as I expected. I'm going to take it easy tomorrow to recharge, so I can have a better day the day after.
But when I realized the time, it was already 1 hour pastan hour had already passed!
I'm going to take it easy tomorrow to recharge, so I can have a better day the day after tomorrow.
Hhowever, I started my day at Starbucks just as I did yesterday.
A semicolon is not followed by a capital letter because it functions like a conjunction (and, but, etc.) within a sentence.
But when I realized the time, it was already 1 hour pastlooked at the time, an hour had passed!
If you want to use the word "realize" this might work:
"when I realized what time it was, I was surprised an hour had passed."
The cafe started to get crowded pastafter 9 a.m., so I closed the book when I reached Unit 70.
"past" with time is used when reporting the time (ex. half past nine). Although it means "after," its use is restricted.
I say this as a speaker of American English. "Past" might sound right to speakers of British English.
I felt under the weather today, so I couldn't study as much as I expected.
This idiom is fine just as it is. (A simple Google search will show it even in dictionary entries.)
Also, there is nothing wrong with using "expected" here.

I am curious if you changed your writing method or used different aids to write this journal. If you did change something, it had an positive impact. If you didn't change anything, then I would say this piece flows very naturally, which may be due to the fact that you have been writing about the same topic for three days. The improvement may also be due to less stress during your time off from work when you are free from the pressure of deadlines and aren't comparing your English to that of your co-workers daily. Either way, keep up the good work! I hope you feel better soon.

Today is Christmas Eve;.
However, I started my day at Starbucks just aslike I did yesterday.
Either "as" or "like" work here, but to me, I think "like" works better in this sentence. "...as I did yesterday" sounds slightly more... formal? It's a little hard to explain.
Today's drink was a cafe latte.
I picked up the English grammar book and read it from Unit 50.
I read the text sofquietly to myself since I was in the cafe.
"Softly" can mean quietly, but in that case, I think it has a sort of romantic quality, which doesn't feel quite right in this sentence.

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you meant.

I felt (?) under the weather today, so I couldn't study as much as I expecthad hoped.
You felt like you were below the weather? The first part of this sentence is a little bit strange. It feels like there should be an adjective where the (?) is.
I'm going to take it easy tomorrow to recharge, so I can have a better day the day after.
