on the double - quickly or urgently jump the gun - to start something too early

I am going to ski in the vacation. we don't need to go on the double since we will be there for three days. My dad told me to not jump the gun since snow board have need to prepare for the foot fastening. My sister still doesn't want to learn ski at all. maybe it is because she saw me getting hurt in the highest level. she just doesn't need to go to a high level. She just gonna ride some slay with mom. My sister only thinks of herself. Because my mom wont be able to ride ski either if she just rides slay. I think that she should learn it around 1st grade.(she is now 6 years old in american age)

in hot water - in a difficult situation which you may be punished in one ear and out the other - to forget so easily because it was boring and complicated

When Crispin saw bear's eyes, it seemed like he would be in hot water if he said anything. Crispin feared that bear would torture him again and seems like bear felt like Crispin was In one ear and out the other so Crispin didn't really had hope to get out of the situation.

loose canon - an unpredictable person or thing tickled pink - delightful

one of my friends is a kid who is like a loose canon. He changes his mind so much that he has nothing that he really decided perfectly. He was said to be a tickled pink when he was young but when his decision has brought bad results, he is scared of deciding something. I had a hard time doing projects with him and now, I don't do projects with him. even playing with him is too hard. He cannot decide to start playing with what. Now, it seems like he has the ability to decide now so I can be a bit more friendly with him.

dec. 4 . 2009 In two shakes of a lamb's tail - a very short time make a mountain out of a molehill - to exaggerate the importance of something

I am practicing how to go down and up the stairs in two shakes of a lamb's tail. I figured out that in this school, students have to use the stairs and only those that are hurt on the leg, or is carrying a cello, can ride the elevator. so I decided to go up and down very easily and fast by practicing on going down each __two__ steps. and the speed is amazing now as I had practiced a lot. But when going somewhere with a friend, I don't go fast because my friends cannot go that fast. This way was a very useful way of moving around the school. I am always the first person to go to the gym if I wanted but it is too boring to stay there and wait for my friends for 5 minutes. no that there is a new building, this way of moving around is much more useful. Some friends make a mountain out of a molehill with this way and I think it is not bad to exaggerate the importance of this way. It is not a big thing but you know that the early bird catches the worm.

My sister always get my goat. I always get bothered by her smashing my door while do my homework, and she comes into my room and jump on my bed and she even comes into my room and suddenly cries so that i can't do my homework and my dad gets angry because he thinks that i made her cry. But these days, dad has some judgement but still, he is always for the sister's side. sometimes I lock the door but the balcony of me and my sister's room are connected so she can just pop from there. But, I guess she's too scared of the balcony. she says that I got up in the wrong side of the bed.

this is just one big part of my life. I do not know where i would be or do at the very future but I am just goading the ox for the seeds we will plant very soon. I don't really want to but I have to mary pretty soon. somehow, i don't really feel what the elders call "love". 'what if i don't be a proper person in the future?' i always think. But my dad said he was like that too so maybe i dont need to worry much about it. the future seems bright!!

i seem to have a very free and fun job. i am a very loyal one. I love heroes coming to my island. and i give them some good rewards depending on their story. there is no unbelievable story for me as i am the on who is unbelievable. i love the things my father has given me. i am happy of my own life fully. i have 12 children and they each have different jobs in different time. without my children, human cannot live properly so i feel like helping others. well, if there is no hero telling me a story for a long time, i get bored easily i need the stories!!!

I am reading don quixote besides Ulysses at home. Don quixote is just a man with bunch of imagination, playing around as if he is a knight. He tries to show the whole world his bravery. just making stories up and playing knight as a child, he is just too much in those knight stories he read from his library. Making the character acting like a child, the author made children get into this book. But of course, because it is not real but it is just bunch of pages about this crazy knight playing man's travel and bragging, it is not that fun and sometimes boring. The vocabularies are usually about horses or donkeys. which i may not need that much in my life as i dont ride horses often. This book is not bad though. the subject is very creative and the stories are well made. I am continuing to read this book.

I and my sister had a nasal inflammation during the chusok break so we had to go to a hospital and got the medicine for it. we did get the medicine and it works fine but it is a problem with time for her. she needs to pour a medicine that is in a powder form into the one that is in liquid form. and she has to suck for long while i just need to swallow a solid medicine with some water. she is being pissed off when i am playing while she is drinking that bitter medicine for a long time. plus, it wasn't her vacation so she was really pissed off of me. she might be really pissing me off when it comes to be her vacation but not mine.

What I would be doing in 10 years: I might be a scientist in 10 years. 10 years later science will be much more developed than the present. I might be a great scientist. i already have ideas to invent in the future. There may be automatic seat belts, better light source, etc. Being a scientist might be the hardest job in the era but i think i will success and earn a lot of money. I am ready for the future!!!
