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.

Tuesday, January 31, 2017 Cloudy

 My wife went to see my sis. My mother is also going to live with us here in our place soon. So, there will be three grannies, including my wife, and one old man, me.


Monday, January 30, 2017 Mostly cloudy, occasionally rainy.

 My usual trains were delayed because of an accident involving injury or death. The homeward-bound train was jam-packed and I head passengers coughing here and there. On the platform, while waiting for the next train, made phone calls to my wife and sis.


Sunday, January 29, 2017 Cloudy, occasionally rainy.

 A workday. Only a couple of students came. Also had a couple of phone calls. But kept rather busy all day. Felt tired at the end of the day. Bought something for supper on the way home as usual.


Saturday, January 28, 2017 Cloudy

 Went to the hospital and found that there were new traction machines. Tried one of them. I like the old ones. On the way home dropped by the usual supermarket and bought something for supper.


Friday, January 27, 2017 Fair

 I found a mistake in the past data at school. It has been corrected. No one wants to take their trouble of checking the original complicated data, but if it is not done, it might put students at a disadvantage. It should be avoided. Although it was much hassle, I did it anyway. Got an email from STEP. I will work as a STEP examiner next month alhtough it is much hassle.


Thursday, January 26, 2017 Sunny and then overcast.

 Went to the usual barbershop before going to work. Got to work earlier than usual. Could take time to eat lunch. Then attended two meetings as usual. Double-checking the sheets I prepared for the so-called sign-up assistance period. On the way home dropped by the library. Bought something for supper at the usual supermarket.


Wednesday, January 25, 2017 Fair

 At work sent the interim grades to my homeroom students. Kept moderately busy. Back home took a bath not a shower, for the first time in many days. That was relaxing.


Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Cloudy and sleety.

 I will have to go to work tomorrow although it is an off-day, because I have something urgent to do. I will have to get a haircut, too, one of these days.


Monday, January 23, 2017 Cloud and cold.

 Almost finished preparing for the sign-up assistance period. Gave a student a makeup and another a retest. On the way home late at night bought some cat food at the usual supermarket.


Sunday, January 22, 2017 Cloudy, occasionally rainy.

 Reported for work early in the morning after taking a shower. Gave a student a makeup and continued to prepare for the so-called sign-up asssitance period. Took care of 11 students' cases.


Saturday, January 21, 2017 Cloudy

 A cloudy and dreary day. Too cold to take a shower. Just a lazy weekend.


Friday, January 20, 2017 Cloudy, occasionally rainy and sovery windy.

 Wrote to 33 of the homeroom students to let them know when to come to school for their sign-up procedure. It took me over two hours to do that. Some students came for their makeups or retests. Took two hours off and was on the way home. It was so windy outside I felt as if I would collapse because of the strong wind. The wind was howling.


Thursday, January 19, 2017 Cloudy

 At work there was an information meeting for the coming sign-up assistance period. Their explanation was almost the same as ever. I will have to prepare for that little by little from tomorrow on.

 Went to see my family doctor as usual-once a month after going slow jogging and taking a shower. Viewed some video recordings and read several books.


Tuesday, January 17, 2017 Cloudy

 I would rather go out than stay at home, so I went out twice today, too. Husbands should not be at home in order to live in harmony at home.
 


Monday, January 16, 2017 Cloudy

 Rather busy dealing with students who came to see the other two teachers in the same room because one was absent and the orhter came late. Called a company for a homeroom student. Had an interview with the boss. Boss interviews are usually discouraging. No wonder there are fewer young people who want to be teachers.


Sunday, January 15, 2017 Cloudy

 Went to work in this freezing weather early in the morning. On parking lot duty in the afternoon. So very cold outside. Proctored one exam late in the afternoon.


Saturday, January 14, 2017 Sunny but windy and cold.

 Decided not to go to the hospital because the wind was so strong that it could be dangerous to ride my bike there. At home watched a lot of videos and TV. Tomorrow is a workday, but it is going to be so cold I think I will take an hour off in the morning.


Friday, January 13, 2017 Cloudy

 A little before I was about to leave for home, taking two hours off, somebody came up to me and left some work to me. Anyway I told him what I was going to do and did it right away. I got the feeling that I was cleaning up somebody else's mess for them.


Thursday, January 12, 2017 Cloudy

 A workday. Corrected some reports and marked some exam papers. There was a lecture on LGBT for teachers.


Wednesday, January 11, 2017 Cloudy

 I did not feel like doing anything today. at home. My lazy day. Yesterday I worked a lot. Kind of reactionary.


Tuesday, January 10, 2017 Cloudy

 Went to work. Handed in the so-called dependent slip and the final Assess-Nurture System report. Printed out the first-term C English Ureport for 2017. A graduating homeroom kid came to see me.


Monday, January 9, 2017 Cloudy

 I seem to be the kind of person who needs to plan beforehand before I do anything. I usually make what I call "mini plans." I can get more satisfaction that way.That is why ひとり学習 fits me.


Sunday, January 8, 2017 Rainy

 A rainy day, so walked under an umbrella in the park for 20 minutes or so. Went shopping for supper because my wife was feeling under the weather. Hope the weather will improve tomorrow, believing that rainy days never stay.

 Slow jogging, taking a shower, and off to the usual neck traction. Late in the afternoon went to the library to return a library book and check out one. Then viewed some video recordings.

 Today's staff meeting lasted for over two hours. Then we cleaned the classrooms for the coming final exams. A graduting homeroom student came for her transcript.


Thursday, January 5, 2017, Cloudy

 The first workday of the year. New Year's greetings first thing at work. Had a call from a homeroom student and got her transcript ready. Preparing little by little for the sign-up assistance period. Sent letters to four graduationg homeroom students.


Wednesday, January 4, 2017 Fair

 Did my morning super slow jog after nine in the morning and off to the hospital toward the evening. Glad that the first three days of the New Year are over. Back to normal now. Tomorrow is a workday.


Tuesday, January 3, 2017 Fair

 Jogged super slowly-slower than walking- as usual. Went to see Mom ans sis with our second son and his wife. I was supposed to lead the way, but I made a mistake, wasting 40 minutes or so. Anyway we talked a lot along the way, though. They went to see Grandma's sister and ate dinner together. I spent some time at Mom's place. On the way home, I bought some cat food and human food.


Monday, January 2, 2017 Cloudy

 Had a quarrel with my wife over her grandmother going out by train. I said that it might be necessary to make a phone call to the station because she is on a wheelchair, thinking to myself that it was going to be much hassle. We did not see eye to eye. At this time of the year trains and places are crowded. I said, "Ask your mother if she wants to go out." Then she said, "Then I won't take her out." I did not mean that she should not take her out.


Sunday, January 2017, Cloudy

 Although I would rather not write New Year's cards, I have written back to those who have sent me one.
