Yesterday I got up at 10AM and I ate soup for breakfast because I felt cold. Then, 1PM I took the subway to go to work because I want to make money. At 2PM we had a meeting for 30 minutes because that day our boss visited our store so I feel sad because I don’t hope them to visited our store. At 10PM I got off work and I took the subway to go to my house. Then I washed my face and brushed my teeth. 2 hours later I went to sleep. Now I’m studying English on JingAn Si with Jesse at 4:30 until 5PM. I will go shopping after this class finished.
