VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

This morning, I woke up at 7:30, I took 1 hour to prepare and then I went out . I will go to visit the dentist to fill my tooth. I rode a bike to the subway and when I arrived at the hospital, it had stood in long line and it took me 1 hour to register. When I got my registration, I took it to see a dentist, the receptionist told me the patient had full and I should go here at afternoon, and I noticed the clinical hours at afternoon is 1:30, there were 3 hours I had to wait , so I decided to the hair salon to make hair, and after that, I still have have more than 1 hour, then I went to the book store, because the book store was closed to the hair salon and it was just 1 subway station, so I took subway to go to the book store. When I went out from the subway, I saw a beautiful church and I like that style, so I took a lot of pictures of it and looked around inside.
