I haven't written in my diary for days because things have been so busy lately.

Let me summarize what happened over the past few days.

October 17

I went cycling with Xixi. I'd given her my old bike, so we rode together.

October 18

I had a piano lesson and played a simplified version of Ode to Joy. It was so cheerful! I can play some classical music now!

Over the next two days, I practiced a lot to get ready for my next lesson tonight, on October 21.

October 19

The boss interviewed someone for the job. That was quick! I heard that the candidate had called on Sunday, just one day after I handed in my resignation.

This makes me realize that the reason we've been short-staffed for so long is probably that the boss never really wanted to hire anyone. He could hire someone whenever he wanted to.

October 20

I heard that the candidate would be joining us next week.

So, so fast! I guess I won't have to wait too long before I can leave!
