① I just booked my flight back to Austin.② I've been in the Bay Area for three weeks now.③ I've had three weeks of nothing but beautiful sunshine.④ Now it's time to head back to Texas.⑤ And the weather there is just brutal.⑥ I haven't even started packing, and I already feel awful.⑦ When I got this job, I thought it was my dream company.⑧ Moving to a new city was no big deal to me.⑨ I told myself I'd move to Mars for it.⑩ But it's only been five months, and I feel like I can't keep going.⑪ I guess people are right.⑫ Life comes first, and work is just part of life.⑬ Or maybe I'm just being a little greedy.⑭ I mean, every time I reach a goal, I just want more.⑮ Once I get something, I stop appreciating it.🔑 Vocabulary• booked /bʊkt/• nothing but /ˈnʌθɪŋ bʌt/• head back /hed bæk/• brutal /ˈbruːtl/• dream company /driːm ˈkʌmpəni/• no big deal /noʊ bɪɡ diːl/• keep going /kiːp ˈɡoʊɪŋ/• comes first /kʌmz fɜːrst/• I mean /aɪ miːn/• stop appreciating /stɑːp əˈpriːʃieɪtɪŋ/🎧 New episode every weekdaySubscribe so you don't miss the next sentence.
