VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

My Sunday
Yesterday in the morning I went to the beautify salon for a facial, and in the afternoon I arranged see a friend, we decided to go to a bookstore. But at noon she told me her room’s air conditioner was broken and she had called a staff to fix it, and she told me she would be arrive Jingan Temple around 3 PM. After I finished I went to a shopping mall to have lunch. I guessed my friend couldn’t be there on time because I knew sometime you can’t control other’s time, especially fix something. In the morning I also bought face courses and the beautician gave me another body courses for free. So I thought why I didn’t do that right now, and I also could wait my friend there. I came back to the beauty salon and did body courses. At 4pm my friend told me the staff would go to her house in twenty minutes, and she said after she finished I should go to the Gym, as I told her I had a gym class at 9pm. So we canceled the meeting. I thought my decision was right and I didn’t waste my time.
