Every time when there are national holidays, our company will send us an announcement . So this time when I saw the announcement about Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, I decided to go back to my hometown, because when the National Day holiday I will go to aboard , so I don’t have many time stay with my parents. I choose Mid-Autumn Festival to go home, there are 3 days, for me it’s enough , I noticed when I get work, my time get more and more precious, and I get more and more busy. These days I just hope I can arrange my work smoothly, so I work hard everyday, and I hope I can enjoy my holiday when I’m in another country.
Edit:
Before each national holiday, our company sends us a notification about the number of days off we get. So this time when I saw the announcement about the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, I decided to go back to my hometown, because during the National Day holiday week I will go to abroad , so I don’t have a lot of time to stay with my parents. I chose Mid-Autumn Festival to go home as I think 3 days will be enough. I noticed since I’ve started working, my time has been getting more and more precious, and I get busier and busier. Right now I’m trying to leave all my projects and deadlines in order, so I can enjoy my holiday when I’m in another country without worrying about getting calls from the office.
