My 3-sentence Diary
ネット上で日記は、個人的にはthe last thing I want to doでした。しかし、英語を書くことが
学習の一環と言う立場にあるものが、sampleになるのも意味のないことではないだろう、
自分も毎日、英語に接する機会も増えるし、また、このホムペになんらかの足跡を残すことに
もなるかな、などなどlong, sleepless autumn nightに考えて、半ば勢いでcreate。
 3-sentenceとなってますけれども、not necessarilyです。要するにnot longということです。
Starting on October 3, 2003.

 All of a sudden our second son came back from Tokyo today to make arrangements for their wedding. At work I was in charge of today's session of the summer English course. The students' reaction was pretty good. I enjoyed myself, too. Made another set of handouts. Just five to go.
