Writing exercise

I suddenly found that it remained 199 days to 2020. I haven’t done anything. How could it happened? That make me feel so anxious.
I think that I haven’t made any progress compared to last year. I still do a boring job and finish repetitive tasks everyday, what make me can’t feel any passion of design.Additionally , I’m upset that I haven’t trained jiu jitsu for almost 2 month, because of my wounds. The only thing make me feel my life is not too bad is that I insist on learning English. Maybe I need to rearrange myself and have more positive attitude. I should design something that I’m interested and practice more design skill and software after work. So that I can get more chance to find a new job. My jiu jitsu class will restart in 1 week later, it will be soon. And keeping learning English as before. Ok, without a doubt, it can’t better anymore that playing competitive games now.
