I don’t feel good.

Today is the thirteenth day of the spring semester 2024. Since yesterday, I have had symptoms of cold. I felt very hot in the bed last night. I was sweaty.

If there was no schedule today, I could have taken a rest whole day. But I had to go to a classroom and to supervise a retest of final examination of last semester. The test was for listening course. I had to play the audio material for the exam. Four students came to the classroom. The audio lasted more than 70 minutes. I was looking at students, but felt very cold in Saturday classroom.

After the test, I went to the administrative building, and printed quiz for coming week. There are not many questions on the quiz sheet, so, I usually four quiz sheets on one A4 paper. There are 50 students in the second-year and 56 in the first-year. I printed 13 and 14 sheets for each grade. I have to cut A4 paper into four. Thinking about time and effort to cut them, it might be better to one quiz sheet on one A4 paper. Yes, probably. But I like use resources minimum. I don’t waste papers.

I went back my room with answer sheet of retest and quiz paper still in A4 and left them in the room, I went out again. Saturday is a day to buy food of coming week. Since I got a cold and had a feeling of sluggishness in my body, I couldn’t walk fast. It was really an agony to walk long way to the grocery store. I bought a bundle of green leaves and green beans, Chinese cabbage, Radish, Mushroom, Ginger, Garlic, four apples and three oranges, and two pieces of pork. Buying pork meant that I needed to cook it soon. I wanted to stay on the bed, but I cooked the pork so that I could keep them in freezer.

Returning from shopping, I spent most of afternoon hours on my bed. But I had to grade the retest. I got up from the bed in the evening and finished grading Business Writing for the third-year students. I couldn’t do any work quickly because of headache and sluggishness.

Now I ate my supper and took cold medicine ”Pabron” which I brought from Japan. I am going to bed soon,
