Maida's calculated evenings [Special]

Mayana Maida, age 27. Occupation: High school science teacher. Favorite chess piece: The queen. Assuming she hasn't been up all night studying a topic and/or preparing a lesson, Maida tends to awaken at 6 AM each working day on average. She then eats a meal of fluffy tofu pancakes before heading out to catch the bus. The ride from the closest stop to her house and the one by the school is usually 20 minutes on average.

Once at the school, she'll either prepare things for the lesson, or flop down on the couch in the staff room for a nap, depending on how much sleep she got the night prior. Her mentality is that falling asleep at school is better than sleeping in at home and risking being late as at school, there's both colleagues that can wake her up, and it's a much shorter distance from the staff room to her classroom.

Once school gets out, she finds herself supervising both the science club and chess club. Following that, she might head off into Tokyo or Saitama to meet up with friends, usually having dinner with them and discussing recent developments in the field of science, along with any current research projects. As tofu is her favorite food, she'll constantly order dishes that incorporate it, which along with her preference for water, makes her a low spender when it comes to dining out.

On weekends where she's not obligated to supervise club activities of any kind, Maida forces herself to relax at home so as not to overwork herself. That being said, her idea of not overworking herself is to tickle her brain by watching science documentaries and scientific presentations online. Science truly is her top passion.
