Almost going to Canada!

It is now about 3 weeks into vacation! A lot of cool stuff has happened, like my auntie coming here from Tianjin and staying for a week. But yesterday... it was dreadful.

It was quite a regular day yesterday. I went to karate just as the rain started to get really bad. But when karate finished, it was really horrible... the sides of the roads were covered with water a foot deep! In some places, the road was completely covered with water that deep. We had to go through one of those roads, but thankfully, our Honda Odyssey did its job well (but slowly). I could see stalled buses sitting at the sides of the road because the water had seeped into their engine. No one could imagine the precipitation being this serious, until it already happened. Also, I've heard that people fell into manholes yesterday because the covers weren't on and the water covered the view of the hole. It's quite fascinating... and scary.

Another thing that happened the day before yesterday was a very annoying and stupid thing: the shift key fell off of my stupid laptop! Yeah, yeah, my laptop is not old and stupid... but it's getting to be too much for me. Now... WITH NO SHIFT KEY! You do realize that typing capitals and special characters is getting to be really difficult, right? Which is why typing this took a long time.

I really do hope you guys are having a great day! A day much better than mine!
