CONGRATULATIONS, MONICA! <3
I'm jealous.
(HAHA, this isn't posted until the 10th, BUT it was written when it still was the 9th! I promise!)
TODAY (9th) I managed to puncture one of the tires on my dad's car while driving.
(It looked a bit like this, only with a lot of smoke)
And therefore we had to suddenly drive off the road, which was totally unexpected, so I forgot to press the clutch, in the middle of the opposite lane of the road... VERY SMART, yes, thank you. And the punctured tire was accually smoking, because it was so hot! SCARY! And as if puncturing a tire and forgetting to press the clutch so that the car stopped in the midde of the road wasn't enough for the poor me in shock, I thought that it was my fault! And my dad was really angry, swearing and everything! So I was like OH NO, I'VE WRECKED MY DAD'S CAR! *DIE* ...Until I found out that the tire had been a problem for a long time. And that the cause of the puncturing was a screw in the rim... But I didn't dare to drive for the rest of the day.
OHjoy.
When eating breakfast today, we heard on the radio that Barack Obama was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize! CONGRATULATIONS, OBAMA! Everyone keeps saying that he hasn't accomplished so much yet, and that someone else should have got it, but I think that Barack Obama deserves the prize! He isn't as popular in the US as here in Europe, so winning the Nobel Peace Prize will help him accomplish more, I think. Giving it to him was therefore probably very strategic. But very right.
And just something fun:
At my dad's we have a seriously horrible door bell. And my dad isn't poor, so I don't understand why he doesn't just buy a new one! Everyone hates it!
But when I asked him yesterday, he just said: "IT SOUNDS LIKE A POLISH STRAINSTATION FROM THE POST-WAR PERIOD! IT'S EXCLUSIVE!"
Fantastic.
