I was on the return road from shopping with Dale. I unloaded her, then I made to the left. I felt unusual, because a red car had come up to me from the front. I ran off the left side of the road! Happily, the red car avoided me, so we didn't collide.
My high school is close to the sea. I smelt salt breeze every day. It was very comfortable.
In "Dreams: Making them work," the author says that Milton Kramer is a psychiatrist and dream researcher. He believes that dreams are important, because he found that dreams control the condition of the mind. For example, if you are having a nightmare, you wake up feeling discouraged.

One day, my friend drove a car sending off his sister at the airport. Then, on the way home while he was driving, he fell asleep for 2 seconds and when he opened his eyes, he almost crashed beside the highway, so he turned the wheel and the car rotated off the highway and turned over. The car was totalled, and couldn't be used again, but my friend was fine. Unfortunately, the police gave him a ticket for $170 for careless driving and he was charged $250 for towing the car.
When I was a high school student in 3rd grade, I took a midterm. At that time, I studied 12 subjects for the midterm. One day before, I had finished studying earth science at 4:00AM with my friends in our dormitory. By the way, one student in the dormitory said to the other students, “You guys studied the wrong section of earth science.” After we heard that, we were very upset, because we had to study the earth science again. Although we were so tired, we started to study earth science again at 4:30AM. But I could not study, because I was so tired. So instead of studying it, I went to sleep. I got up at 7:00AM, then I quickly started to study it. Finally, I took the exam of earth science and I got 80%.
When I was belonging to a basketball club in junior high school, I could see a miracle happen. Our team had to win a geme, because we were 3rd grade at that time. If we had lost that geme, we would have had to become a retirement basketball club. If we got a win, we could go to the next stage. Those games were tournament style. However, the opposing team was very strong. They were second place in our city at our last meeting. By the way we were in 7th place. That game day there was a rainstorm. I was a benchwarmer. I did not play basketball well. So, I cheered!

About three years ago, I was a senior student in college. I met guys who were crazy in the class. There were only two girls in the class. But they usually went out and studied with us who were boys. We went traveling every vacation and left our footprints in the county where I studied. We often went rafting, hiking, camping or mountain climbing. We also took a lot of pictures and saw much scenery of county. Besides, we studied hard together, when we had to take midterms or final exams. So I really miss them. They left many memories in my mind.

I am having the best time in my life in the CESL school. First
I can't forget my highschool classmates. My classmates and I were often talking with each other. And we played soccer and basketball together. Sometimes, if one student asked another smarter student about study, the other student kindly tought him. Also, if one student had a problem, other students became counselors. I often remember that high school classroom. In conclusion, I will never forget such memories.
Of my classmates at my university in Thailand, everybody was very cute. In one day, we had to study 6 hours. In the morning, we started to study from 9.00 A.M. to 12.00 A.M, and in the afternoon, we studied from 13.00 P.M. to 16.00 P.M. After we had finished studying, we were talking about everything and sometimes we were eating ice-cream, fruit or bread. I feel good when I meet my friend.
Teacher's Note: This is the first CESL weblog; it was conceived as a place for classmates to read each other's writing, and not necessarily as a place to publish it for the world to see. We were thinking, at the time, that it would be good to just share what we did, and read each other's work; but when all of CESL began making weblogs later we realized that it was important that we had done the first one. So, here it is. We are putting connections on it so that we, the former class of 043, can stay in touch with each other. It will remain as an interesting place to stay in touch. -Tom Leverett, teacher
