No Class on Wednesday

Today is the sixteenth day of the spring semester 2024. There is no class on Wednesday. Though I wanted to go to the teacher’s room in the morning, I slept on the bed after the breakfast. When I woke up, it was already 9 a.m. I printed a quiz of 20 verbs and another quiz to measure student’s mastery about a conjunctive particle ”-to,”. The latter was for Thursday classes of third-year students. As for the former, I made the quiz of 20 verbs for the first-year students, however, I am really curious if the second-year students can answer correctly. Each of 20 questions asks a verb is transitive or intransitive. And asks to fill the blank in a sentence that uses that verb. So, the quiz asks not only a verb is transitive or intransive, also asks how that difference influences the choices of particles. I know that this quiz is easy for some second-year students, but not so easy for some. I decided to make both the first- and second-year students answer the quiz in coming classes. I had to make 110 photo copies of quiz.

I go to the teachers’ cafeteria only once a week. Usually Wednesday is the day. I went there a little late today. There were a few people, but food was still there. The problem was that almost of all food were oily. Many were filled with oil. Some were floating on the sea of oil. It is important for me not to take much on the tray in order to avoid an afternoon nightmare due to heavy stomach. I took food and put on the tray, but left the half of tray empty area-wise.

I took a nap for 2 to 3 hours. I hadn’t got full recovery from the cold which I got last Friday. Working until 11 p.m. was also a cause of lang nap. Other than napping hours, I worked to make PPT. I finished it by 9p.m. Then I graded a quiz of one class. Went to bed at 10:30 p.m.
