I think it’s because after I finished my class I was sweaty and I got a cold so it makes me during the new year I stayed at home didn’t do anything. My roommate celebrated with her Bf. Once they get into a fight they will finish like 3am in the morning.
Do you you forget to do something today?
his previous job was in suzhou and now he tries to find a new job and in the meantime he stays with her.

I want to try learning something new. Now Vlogs (vlogging) are(is) very hot in china. People who edit videos… I think it is a very interesting job,. you have to put everything together, make people like it. I tried some apps on the phone, easy ones.
