When we learn it we need to download an app driving test guidebook.
So I am doing my work while I am turning on the app to learn.
You don’t need to turn on it through the phone.
->I can open the app while I am at work and my colleagues don’t think I am slacking while I study.
It seems like some passion to shop to do some enterntainment.
At the past, especially at night I went to the city center and some famous road and I can see a crowd of people standing outside the restaurants, bars.
Recently after my work I passed by the road and I can’t see anyone there.
So I think it is winter already.
You cannot imagine that the last week I got home isolated again for 7 days because I went to Ikea.
I had a class with JEsse and 1h before I got a phone call. One people said I ,ust stay at home and also call my roomate back home quickly to have the 7 days isolated together.
He said due to we did the big data search and it shows you went to Ikea at the mid autumn festival.
I said it is 5 days before, did I have close contact with a positive person?
Did I have direct or indirect contact?
He said no because you use the alipay to scan and pay at the ikea restaurant.
My friend didn’t have signal at ikea so I did a favor and helped her pay.
After the caling I experienced so many ridiculous activities like this.
Yesterday I finished the quarantine and they did a lot of things against each other. One people told me you need to finish the test and get the result then you can go out and another said to me you cannot go outside.

Yesterday morning I went out to get a test. My friend drive a car and we wear the mask and we drive to some test booth
in the afternoon, someone asked us for the report as we expected and sent it to her and she said why you could go outside for the test.
They gave me a long lesson and they said this time it is ok but next time you cannot do this again.
we stay at home so we use the home time to slack off.
Recently I am redecorating the apartment so I can do a lot of research.
Do you think people can change.
