I continued my little cooperation with AI today. After finishing breakfast, I buckled down for another session with ChatGPT and asked it to provide me with another set of sentences I could rephrase, and it could assess, check, and explain its reasons for giving that evaluation. To my surprise, today, it evaluated all my sentences at the C1 level, and none of it was lower than that. I made some progress, but my sentences need more attention to reach the coveted C2 level. I had to interrupt my studies due to our appointment with Abby at the dog-groomer lady at 11:30 a.m.

When we returned, I had a delicious tuna pizza for lunch made by Ági. While we were munching the nosh, we watched another episode of Dexter, in which the events culminated - the season is drawing to an end soon, so they have to increase the tension.

The afternoon went by quickly. I spent another session with AI; apparently, it became my new friend, which sounds a tad weird.

The weather was terrible today. The early morning storm left behind a lot of rain, which evaporated due to the warm temperatures making the air humid and difficult to breathe. I'm not too fond of this rainforest-like weather. It just dawned on me how much I prefer the colder seasons, despite the long cold periods when one must don the garments they use on Polar journeys while crossing vast snow fields. The next few days will bring even warmer temperatures, so the dog days are far from over. According to the weather forecast, the thermometers will show +38°C on Sunday and Monday, and the cold system that will reach Hungary on Wednesday will drop the temperatures by three or four degrees: we must protect ourselves against hypothermia...

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach. After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries ...

Even though I was up from 5 a.m. till 10 p.m. yesterday, I couldn't sleep like a log. I woke up several times at night wondering why the blOOdy eff I couldn't hibernate. Since these awake periods didn't last long, I went back to sleep, but still, the reoccurring wakeups vexed me tremendously. Anyway, I decided yesterday that despite the winter daylight-saving time, I wouldn't follow the winter clock but stick to the old summer daylight-saving time. I've had enough. Each March, we have to set the clock an hour forward, which means an hour less sleep, which means my system gets into Carl Pilkington mode for weeks. Never again. So, with this in mind yesterday evening, I set the alarm clock to 5 a.m. When it went off, even though I was a bit miffed, I knew I'd tricked the system, so it was payday for me. After completing my homework this morning, I prepared lunch. It wasn't a special meal, just some fish fingers with rice and peas. And even though it wasn't ...
