I’m not thinking about the plan, maybe on Friday, I will know. Before, I usually went to hang around shopping in one day. Then the other day, usually I stay at home, sleep or did some housework. Sometimes I will go to have lunch or dinner with my friends. Recently, I more often went to work overtime. The friends I often met before went to their hometown for several months. They have left SH for four months so they will come back soon. If the colleague is just a colleague, I seldom hang out with them. If the colleague becomes my friends, I will hang out with them. I have two friends now who were my colleague in the last company. In the current company, I only have one colleague. We often talk something about the company.
