Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is on the way, but I’m not really looking forward it. First, the traffic is awful, and some high ways are just like parking lots; second, I have to travel from Shanghai to my hometown, and travel from my hometown to my husband’s hometown, then back to my hometown, after that back to Shanghai, it’s like my whole vocation is on the highway; third, I could became very tired after the busy schedule, because it’s our tradition to visit relatives during the holiday. OMG!I just want to own some spare time and enjoy doing nothing.
