Yestery was the Independence day of the United States of America. It was also the first Independence day that I celebrated since I’ve became a U.S. citizen. Like last year, I went to the Congress park to see the fire works, and ice cream at Ben & Jerry afterwards. However, unlike last year, this year I have a much lighter mood.
I was kind regret that I did not go back to NYC. NYC has this BIG Macy’s firework show every year, and I think this year is my fourth time missing it. 2001, I went back to China; 2003, Germany; 2004, in college, and 2005 in college as well. Every year at this time, it is more like a family gathering for us. My relatives would usually come to my home, and we would watch it from our balcony since our apartment is on the 20th floor. I have not gone to see the “live” one yet, and I would reallie love to see it. I just feel that this year could be the perfect time, fits my mood and kinda fits my schedule as well. But anyway, too late.
I’m planning to end my work after the first week of August. It is kind early. I will have almost 3 weeks of free time in NYC. I have decided to take the driving lessons with my friend last night. I seriously have no confidence about driving, because I can still lost control when I bike even though I’ve biked for so many years. I lack the “sport neve.” But, I know that I will need to get it soon or later, and by taking the driving lessons would make me feel that I did not waste my whole summer! LOl…
