Correction

I have had two crazy days, Wednesday and Thursday felt never-ending. I thought Friday would never arrive. This morning I went to my Chinese lesson and after I had lunch with my boyfriend I took a very long nap. My tv show, my cat sleeping beside me and a two hour nap. Just what I needed.
Now maybe I need a strong coffee in order to not look like a zombie, but I have enough time to recover for tonight’s dinner with friends. I love the feeling of still having all the weekend to enjoy!

Speaking exercise

I’m watching by myself Girls and then with my boyfriend we’re watching Homeland, House of Cards and now we want to start with Fargo. I don’t know why but House of Cards didn’t like more than Homeland. I like it but I prefer Homeland. Because maybe both topics of both series are not my favorite topics. Homeland is about terrorism. House of Cards is about politics. I think Homeland is more engaging.
