Probably something along the lines of “a particular way of thinking, especially one that is reasonable and based on good judgment”. The defininiton is picked ad verbatim from Cambidge Dictionary, btw.
I am going to introduce you to my special brand of logic.
Yesterday evening I received an amazing piece of information: I will have extra students in my B2 class.
Why is that bad? Well, because I had originally been planning to have my group write an article during both lessons. Alas, the extra students hadn’t been taught how to write articles 😱😱😱
Therefore, I had to change my plan. Too bad, right?😭
But my colleague said that she had ready-made materials for a movie. 💥💥💥Problem solved? I had thought so too until I saw the materials. In the exercises for the movie the teacher is supposed to talk to the students! The horror!😵Rest assured, I wasn’t in the mood to talk to them.
And what do I do?Obviously, I go and make my life much harder!(go, me!) Firstly, I make an Alias game out of all their vocab and… 🥁drum roll!🥁 I compile a quiz game out of their final course test, some game I found on Quiziz and original tasks!
🍒 You’ll never guess what the cherry on top is… In the end I had to talk to them even more than I would have had to had I taken the movie tasks. Le GASP!
So here is my brand of logic…🤒
🤔Why did I do that? Well, frankly, I recalled that the movie is a tad bit boring, and the tasks were with Russian translation (I am not a hater of Russian in English classes, mind you. But my B2 students are genuine B2, they don’t need it, really, especially for movie comprehension tasks). What’s more, I knew that the extra students, as long they are not actively engaged, might misbehave.
🫠The morale of this story is: as long as you can rationalize even the most hair-brained decisions, at least to yourself, go for it! As long as it’s not anything illegal, obviously.
The B2 Grammar Quiz is in the comments.
UPD. Let's make this more logical. My life doesn't follow rules, at least the post will.

Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives?
