My all day is very busy because in the morning I went to bank and got lot of paper and then I went back to my company and had a meeting with my boss and the start thing is I got another job interview today. There is another company wanted me to work for them. I told them I can’t work for them now because I had an exhibition in March so I can’t just leave my job now. I don’t want to be irresponsible.

I don’t want to change my job now. I like my life now and a new job they wanted me to do more time job. Like I can finish my job at 5;30 and the new job finish at 8pm. I think next time before I have class with you guys I must see some tv shows.
