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.

 It has been still chilly for these few days. Yesterday went to the clinc up north in Osaka for the last time. It was a nice clinic but too far away. I thanked them.

 Had an interview with the boss for my annual evaluation based on the data collected from students and paretns this year. My classes are OK, but the contents and correcting of the reports left much to be desired. If I were one of the students, I would complain about the reports. I did not make them, though. I felt so irritated correcting those reports, not to mention the students.

 Could not go jogging because of my lower backache. I could, but that was my wife's advice. Went to work in spite of my poor physical condition. On the way home, bought something for supper and some doughnuts with azuki bean jam in them.
