We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
When this time very fun but after this time For example it 1 day or half day later became head aike.
*I've* been to that party - several times (why I'm now many years sober).
Seems that this teacher didn't go to the same party.
I find it strange that someone who is old enough to party that hard can't spell any better than a first grader. Maybe he was drunk when he wrote it.
OR maybe he was drunk when they taught spelling?!
Look at the Finder's blurb, oh critics. This came from Australia, and is obviously a language-journal entry for an Asian/Pacific Rim emigré who is learning English. See all the corrections? The handwriting and syntax are typically Asian. For example in Khmer (the language of Cambodia) there are no past tenses, just time markers, which in his or her head would be translated "when time" or "when this time".
I have often tried to get my language students to keep English journals, with little or no success. And then they complain about not getting enough practice. Sigh.
Wow, Basil! That's excellent. That would not have occurred to me. How interesting!
This is an English teacher (I'm one) in an ESL (English as a Second Language) class, trying grimly to show that he or she won't be shocked by what you write, but you must write grammatically.
Sometimes I drink a lot, maybe over the limit of my alcoholic limit. Then I suffer memory loss of my memory. Then I forget what I've drunk I forget and I don't remember. And what I wrote at the beginning of the sentence is too long ago to remember what I wrote at the beginning of the sentence I forget. What I wrote.
Hey, teech, great party, hey? Whaddya mean you doan remember?
What you always telling me you godda write it all down so's you doan forget.
Forgot to add: "If you're SOBER when you write, you're writing may improve."
Or maybe not.
Is his counselor a bartender?
I like the revisionist corrections to a journal as if it would be a story that would get turned into someone else to read. How about making the young drunk correct his own shabby diary writings?
And the 'teacher' wants to date the author? Or is wondering whether the author had a date at the party?
The teacher's handwriting is not much better than the student's.I suggest they both drink over their limit and try again. Sigh.
Shol, in fact, speaks perfect english, but unfortunately he learned it while drunk and now can only speak or write intelligibly while inebriated
It is up to his english teacher to correct this situation before his student's liver fails
so far things don't look promising
Why didn't the proof reader address the reduncancy of "over the limit of my alcoholic limit"? (ok, maybe it's not redundant. But.. clumsily repetitive.)
this is actually kinda sad . . .
baby basil, after about a year of being a fellow found follower ive come to the conclusion that you are just too damn smart.
Ive also decided that the spam protection question, 28 times 15, having the answer of 420 was NOT a coincidence!
The poor guy is hungover and you require a date on the paper? I bet your lucky if he knows what day of the week it is.
Librarian, the notation "Date?" means that the student didn't date the diary entry. Which being a diary entry, is part of the exercise. So the teacher is asking, "Where's the date? What day does this correspond to?"
Of course, the student is so hung over s/he doesn't even know what day it is today, let alone how long ago last night was...if it was last night...
Talk about the morning after the night before.
@ Librarian -- do you find, being a librarian, that people always take you seriously, even when you are just trying to be lighthearted or sarcastic? What a drag!
@ Kermit ... I'm a librarian. I get taken seriously. It's my job.
Actually, it mostly happens here where people can't hear the snark in my voice.
(And who said anything about me being in drag??)
@ Librarian:
I was one too, in another life.
I once pointed out something factual to a Very Important Person and he told me off for being pedantic.
I replied 'Of course I'm pedantic -- it's my job'.
So yes, been there. Used to have good laughs too though. We would pin silly or funny cuttings on the library wall so people knew I wasn't being serious ALL the time.
Happy hols!
I like yestarday.
Yes Tard Day.
Or maybe it was Yes Turd Day.
