Online Class Notes (Jesse)

It was the first week after I quitted my job. I was so happy that I had enough time to do what I want to do and spent lots of time with my son. Although my financial situation is still ok，I had to take lots of interviews to find my new job as soon as possible.
According to my plan，I need to finish my interview in next week and decide which new work I will go .Then I can have a short vacation to bring my son to hometown without the stress of finding a job.
In Wenzhou’s traditions，every first time for a newborn baby is important, so my parents asked a feng shui master to calculate a lucky day to welcome my son home. It is also the first time my relatives meet my son. We will take the high-speed train home instead of driving home. It can save me at least three hours of transfer time.
