Crazy Drivers

Upon arriving at Dallas, I have tried to drive three cars already, Honda passport (SUV), Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Accord. i think i like Jeep most since I drove it more times than other three.

Arthur told me some things about driving in Dallas, one thing is, don't signal while changing lanes. well, in the drive test we are supposed to signal, he added, but in fact while you're driving on Texas highway, if you signal then no one will let you go to their front. and it is true!

yesterday I drove back from my brother's apt to Arthur's house, a 10 min drive including 5 miles on the highway. the highway entrances are pretty short, which means you have to accerlate in a short time and merge into the other lane, usually people won't let get in front of them easily, so it is very important to watch the mirrors and blind spots.

after driving on they highway for a while, i tried to change from inside lane to outside lane, so that i could exit the highway. HOWEVER, i thought i have some distance from the car behind me in the ouside lane, therefore i signaled and wanted to change lane. that car just suddenly speeded up and while i checked my blind spot, he was there trying to pass over me. therefore, i have to wait for him to pass so that i can change lanes.

this teach me something, first, it is really important to check mirrors and blind spots. second, arthur was right, generally speaking, many TX drivers are pretty rude.

LINKSYS where are you?

I lost your signal!

I am staying witih my relatives in Dallas. There's only dialup in the house, and i feel like back to the stoneage coz i haven't been using dialup for so long, maybe last time i use dialup was the last time i visted Dallas! Now Texas is giving me an impression of stone age, and after hearing my thoughts, my counsin gave a comment. he said, go yours.

meanwhile my dear Eddie who already arrived at Beijing and enjoyed a big meal is happily sleeping in a 5-star hotel-like apartment with wireless and marble floor in the room. but he didn't get online and he declares that he will not check his emails during his vacation. I guess he will have a great time there in Beijing and I feel kinda jealous coz I am not having as much fun as he has now. Kick your ass Eddie! i am not gonna let you have an easy life after you come back!

I just failed!

I went to drive test this afternoon in the stupid town Bothell and failed it. I know it is wrong to say bad things about Bothell but I need to let my anger/depression go or I will get sick, mentally. Therefore, TMD you da-bian town Bothell.

I know the officer is trying to make sure everyone drive safely and I did make some mistakes but if I don't blame him, then I will have no one to blame except myself, and I don't want to do that coz that will only get me depressed. Therefore, TMD you curvy hair White zhu.

Go your mother's, go!
