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.

 At work helped some new students sign up. One of them did not show up, and another was late, so I had to wait until very late. Usually the one in charge of the class does that, but this one was not that kind of person. I was all the more tired because of that attitude. Working with someone who cannot feel out the situation is really tiring.

 In spite of the wet ground, I went slow jogging almost as usual because I walked a little bit, thinking the surface was too wet. Yesterday when I was about to leave for the hospital for neck traction, it began to rain, so I gave up because it is usually dangerous to go ther by bike on a rainy day. For one thing, the surface is slippery, and another thing is that visibility is not good.

Monday, April 3, 2017 Fair

 My diurnal lifestyle has begun for the first time in three years. At work I was just on report room duty. Not much work to do. This workplace is not good for young teachers who are full of energy.
