My middle name is Danger

My days are simple, but I like them.
Well, actually I deleted those words I wrote long time ago. I have been keeping this draft forever. But I think I can make a promise I will finish this one. :)
First, my title is sort of quoted from my English textbook. It fits me a lot as well. If I had a middle name, it must be Danger.After hitting the neighbor's mailbox, fixing right mirror of the truck, weaving on the road, getting lost around places where I didn't know,etc,I broke my tire successfully, oh, also the rim.I know those things happen to everybody who is a new driver, but I still feel I am pretty dumb.I learned a new word to describe myself, "I am retarded." So I drove my car with temporary tire for one week. That's why I told others earlier that they should keep away from me. Haha.
Other than that, everything is very very peaceful.This week I have been keeping myself busy everyday besides studying. Sometimes I really don't want to study for a whole day, but I don't know where I should go to explore. One of the reasons that I didn't go around so far is I am too chicken to go.
Well, some good memories stored in my mind are like these:
1. I made "copycat" into "copymouse"
2. I pronounced my email address "clockqt" into "cockcutie", which confused others.

Oh, I forgot to tell you about my job at ICC.
It's a tutoring job, which I love so much! And my students are very patient. They haven't slapped on my face, which I have imagined all the time because I confuse them with my awkward  English all the time. Well, I do tutor math, but I know nothing of all those terms in English. Haha, my students tell me all the time which is which. :P Yes, I should pay them tutoring me English. Woahaha. but I received highest compliments from them,they said I was clear and helpful. Please ignore Americans saying nice words all the time here, :) even I wasn't not clear.

Yes, one more big piece of news, I started to understand others' conversations!!!!! Wait. Am I supposed to be happy about that? Last semester, when Tess and I passed by a random person who was on the phone. Obviously she could understand what that random person talked about, but I didn't get any words!! A few days ago, when I studied at a cafe I felt so excited that I found out some words of others' conversation sneaked in my ears! Woohoo!even though that means I have to put on earplugs when I study.

Last week, I interviewed Eliana who became my friend. She has unbelievable stories. I am wondering if I could post my paper here for you to read and know her. I think I will if she doesn't mind. :) We will see. Teehee, it's not about my paper, it's about a girl who got adopted seven years ago from Chinese orphanage.

Last but not the least,fall is really here!! Man! Every time I drive up to the Cummings lane, leaves are everywhere, on the tree, in the air, and on the ground. Fall is absolutely incredible! I wish I had better driving skills and then I could enjoy looking around, which is not very possible for me right now unless I want to jump into any bushes.


The end. :)

A negative one

   Driving,driving,driving...I hate driving so far.After last Sunday,I almost got lost or missed many turns when I went to the places I didn't drive by myself before. It's so sad.I felt I was soooooooooooooo dumb!Except the road between school and Washington,I knew none of other roads. Spending more than half hour or one hour to drive to the places where normally needs less than 10 minutes, I felt so so so so stupid. Driving to me is a stressful thing, so far. Be positive, I will love to drive one day!!
   Now I am in the situation like I don't know how to study. Well, I think I don't know what I am talking about either. This is my situation. Confused.
