Email Service Notes (Jesse)

It’s been really a mess these days. I feel a lot of pressure because of the post-graduate entrance examination. I am trying to finish all my everyday plans but still find that what I am doing now is far from enough. More time should have been spent on studying instead of sleeping. I want to get up an hour earlier than usual, but every time I struggled to open my eyes, I failed. There is also pressure from work. I have decided to change my job. Changing a company can ensure me a stable and better salary, but along with it are heavier loads of work. Perhaps it will be a lot more difficult to handle my work and my study. However, for some reason, I could’t say “no” to this offer.
The other day, I had a call with my mom. She came across the parents of one of my middle school classmates. Now my classmate is married and working for the government. It seemed a green-eyed job, but her parents complained that their daughter had nothing to do but play video games with her husband after work. Do I envy her job? Perhaps. However, I don’t envy her way of idling her life away. I have to find a goal in my life. Even if there isn’t a goal, I will create one. Is busy my lifestyle? Yes…But relaxation is also very important for me. How complicated human beings are!

More time should have been spent on studying instead of sleeping. I want to get up an hour earlier than usual, but every time I struggled to open my eyes, I failed. There is also pressure from work (so / because) I have decided to change jobs / get a new job as changing to another company can ensure me a stable and better salary, but along with it will be a heavier workload. Perhaps it will be a lot more difficult to handle both my work and my studies. However, for some reason, I couldn’t say “no” to this offer.
