VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

During the last month in Kunshan, one of my most important tasks is to collect all my daily necessities and sent them to my hometown. As of last Sunday, I had packaged most of them including my clothes, bedding and so on. I will choose EMS to deliver the packages considering of its cheaper price than the other express companies’. The lucky thing is that I don’t need to think about my rental apartment such as renting it to the other people or dealing with the landlord, because it is the company housing and I just need to return the key to my company when the last day I leave. Except taking my own time, I still accompany my friend who is pregnant with about three months to do some routine checks, since she had a risk to lose her baby before and she has to be very careful now. Though she’s getting stable, she cannot eat much food and is even thinner now than she was before.
