I walked 14,471 Steps Today.

Today is the twenty-first day of the spring semester 2024. Since it’s Monday, I have three classes. During a class, standing at teacher’s desk is not my style. I walk in the classroom, get closer to the students, and try to extract students’ utterances as much as possible. Since I have three classes on Monday and Thursday, usually I walk about 14,000 steps on those days. The number of steps are recorded by my mobile phone which I usually put in my pocket in the jacket.

Dingtalk has a function to show a ranking of the day as to number of steps. In the night, at around 8 or 9 p.m., it shows a ranking of three persons who walked most, second, and third. But you can’t join the competition automatically. You have to register your number of steps manually. Even I walked 14,000 steps, it doesn’t mean I can be the first or second prize. Usually, I simply forget to register my number of steps in the evening, Today’s 14,471 steps should have been the second prize, but there isn’t my name on the ranking today.
