1229 May I Have a Vacation? — December Summary
It was a little scary when I arrived at the head office and there was nobody there. I even wondered if today was a holiday. But after I came out of the restroom, I saw someone, which made me feel better.
Today is a workday, but many companies started their holidays last Saturday, unlike us. So I decided to give myself a “vacation” — sitting in the office but doing my own stuff on the computer, just like I’ve often done this year.
First of all, I’ll write a simple review of my December. Then I’ll finish reading my book. I didn’t read enough books this month, but if I can finish this one, that will be good enough. After all, this is my first book written in English, and I didn’t rely on a translator the whole time.
