San Jose for the week

Many come home from a year of college just to hang out with friends and catch up with people.

I come home from Davis hoping to do the same, but my mother thinks I come home to be a baby sitter. *sigh*

At least I had a little bit of fun.

Saturday: Hang out with friends, go swimming and attended a birthday party. (I really like Viet food haha.) Also, my friend D really needs to learn how to drive his stick shift.

Sunday:
Nothing, stayed home. *cries*

Monday:
Went out to Dan's house, played badminton and hung out with his friends. It was nice catching up with them.

Tuesday: Sunset Beach! I went with my younger brother's badminton team. Besides getting lost for 2 hours in a car cramped with 8 other people, the food and games were fun. We also stopped by a strawberry field...and some of them picked some fresh strawberries to eat. *illegally* Oh, and my younger brother lost his house key and bicycle key. Not to mention: fall into the ocean with his 200 dollar cell.

Wednesday: I was spose to go out with Dan and hang out his friend B. My mom lost her car keys (what a coincidence) and refused to let me leave the house. Instead I stay home all day with NO INTERNET and napping. Luckily Dan agreed to come over to my house for a couple of hours where we played different games on the wii.

The beach is actually quite peaceful when you go off alone to comtemplate life.


Lets see how the rest of the week plays out. (;

Automatic Fail

I fail at life.
It seems to me that I encounter bad things from one right on to the next.
My Quest to getting a Driver's License:
When I finally decide to GET my driver's license my parents lose my original birth certificate. I then have to request for a new one from the government which took about 5-6 months including the period in which I had to ask two friends in Davis to swear on my behalf that I am in fact Maggie Yue. After I get my birth certificate I go get my permit. After passing, I realized I had forgotten my glasses for the vision test.
This means another trip to the DMV.
FINALLY Today I go to take my test- and guess what? The car I am driving is not mine but Dan's. He loses he Insurance and registration in the car and cant seem to find it. After being nearly late for my test I am FINALLY IN THE CAR READY FOR MY TEST.
All seems well as I am showing all the signals, buttons and such. The instructor gets in the car and I drive for about 3 minutes until we hit the first intersection with a three-way stop sign.
A car from my left randomly appears there (which usually doesnt happen). I stop and keep going completely ignoring that car I cannot seem to see with my eyes.
Result? Automatic fail for violating the right-of-way of that non-existent left turn vehicle.

I will never be able to drive.

On top of that, I have a kink on my neck, a HUGE migraine.

I hope things get better this week.
