5 T-Shirts for 5 Bucks!

I was just thinking to buy some new t-shirts. And yesterday, I found some on sale in Walgreen. There were labeled of 5 for $10 on adult ones and 5 for $5 on youth ones. I picked 5 youth shirts because with my size, I could wear medium size of youth. :)

The fabric was okay but more important, they were cheap. ^^

Wet Wet Wet

I did not get burned by the sun yesterday but I got wet...

I had realized that it was going to rain sooner or later before I left home around noon. Still, I forgot my umbrella. Stupid me!

It started sprinkling when I was in the middle of the way and then pouring. I did not run after all. I knew that I could not avoid getting wet.

Alright. Just soggy...

First Day On the Road

In the afternoon, James took me to go practice driving. We started around a quarter past two and reached home around four thirty. Two hours on the road!

James took me to somewhere that the traffic was not busy. I would say... it was almost empty. I started driving with the speed of 20 mph. So slow... The area was not flat and the road was not so straight though. I had to drive up and down hills all the time. I could not control the car to be in the lane at first. It took me a while to be able to control it. After that I drove faster but never made it over 50 mph. I also could not keep the car in the right lane when I made a turn. Fortunately, the roads are empty. =S

We passed some cities which were not busy as well. And when the streets were narrow, I kept went far to the right. The oncoming cars on the left scared me. So James had to push the wheel back for me sometimes. T_T

Anyway, I could make my way home safely. =)

===

James just got me the route a moment ago. Started at A and finished at F which was our house.

Time to Beat Hearts!

Yeah! I just got the learner's permit today. Let's get a car and out into the street. haha

Well, I did not think I could pass the writing test since I got about 5 from 40 questions incorrectly. At any rate, I've passed. =D

Now all I have to do is just practice driving. Let's do it!

One Week In The New House

A week has passed since I moved to the new apartment. Everything is okay.

I walked to Tech on Monday. It took me half an hour to get there. Even the weather was not so hot, I was sweaty when I got back. I also got some cookies from my neighbor; my landlady's daughter in law.

Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon with my friends, Gan and Bell, in Shreveport. We had lunch at some sort of Vietnamese restaurant, went shopping, bought some Asian food.
