My Typical Day

My Typical Day is exhausting and busy because I usually get up at around 2;00 or 2;30am,I Deliber the newspaper every Day,every month,every year.I finish at 6;30am to 7;00am,and then I go back to sleep. Iget up again at 9;00 to 9;30 am Itake a shower and eat my breakfast, and after that I clean my house and I take my dog for a walk.I wait for my husband because we study English at Miracosta college.After school I have dinner and take a shower, brush my teeth, and go to bed at 10;00pm.I don't like my Typical Day because it is tiring and exhausting.



My Personal Seal My personal seal has images that demonstrate my character. My seal has four images. First, the flower represents my love of my daughter. Second, the image of an angel statue represents where I came from, Mexico City. The third image represents the two most important people in my life, my husband and daughter. The last image of the horses represents my love for nature. In conclusion, this seal shows my character and want I value in life.

My Favorite place is the beach in Oceanside, California. I like to be on the pier and look at the sunset and walk in the sand with my husband. I have a special feeling in this place. For me, it is a fresh, relaxing and romantic place. Fresh because of the water, relaxing because of the quiet, and romantic because of the sunset.





My Funny Experience

My Funny experience happened four years ago at my house. I was concerned because I felt so sick. I was living in a neighborhood where all the people spoke only Spanish. I found a neighbor and I told her, please, can you call a cab? She went in the house and talked on the telephone. Then she told me a cab was coming and she left but I never saw a cab come, I felt desperate, so I took some medicine and kept waiting for a cab. After a while my friend came back. what? no cab yet? Then we talked, and I realized her mistake. She looked in the Directory pages under taxes, and when she called a phone number, she spoke to some at the IRS, not a cab service. In my country, Mexico, the yellow cab is named taxi. My friend confused the words TAXIS AND TAXES. In conclusion, I learned to ask first do you speak English when asking someone for help. Now I am studying English to help other people who need help, like I did.
