VIP Class Notes (Jesse)[W]

Diary!

The first thing I start my work everyday is to open the computer and check for the new mail. Today, as usual, I checked my mailbox and found there was no new mail in my mailbox. I had nothing to do ,so I bought a cup of coffee at starbucks from downstairs. Until I had finished my coffee, my boss didn’t come. Then I watched my phone and considered what I would eat this noon.
After lunch, I still didn’t receive a new mail and also my boss didn’t come to work yet. I decided to watch a speech from TED which my overseas teacher recommended. The speech talks about: Stress is not harmful to health. I still didn’t believe this opinion after watching this speech. I chatted with my friends until 5:30 p.m. and I finished this boring and relaxed working day finally.

Afterwards, I still hadn’t received any new mail and also my boss hadn’t come to work yet. I decided to watch a speech from TED which my foreign / western / Aussie / Australian teacher recommended.
