sentences.text: After I finished the past semester at CSUN...... My two friends joined and we decided to drive to Boston. I drove from LA to SF to visit a good friend of mine there. We went on a trip to San Francisco.  We enjoyed it so much and SF is a beautiful city. I have to admit that SF copies Boston a little, but anyway... I drove straight across the country from SF. I was on I-80 all the way across the country and then I eventually got on I-90.  I expected that it would take me maybe three or four days to drive across the country. Unfortunately, I was wrong! As my frends and I were driving through the state of Nevada, the three of us were really tempted to gamble. So, we decided to stop by at a casino on the border between Nevada and California. I pulled the car over.  We gambled. I had a good time for maybe a couple of hours and then I got back into the car. We hoped to get out of Nevada soon so we wouldn't feel tempted to gamble again because we all had lost some money from gambling. When we were getting ready to get out of Nevada, I felt something on the back of my car. All of a sudden, the car dropped down in the back and was skidding. My friends were driving in front of me and I was following them.  I had to get their attention by waving my hand so I could pull their car over. As I got out of my car, I looked at the back of my car and saw one of the tires was flat. The tire literally blew out in two pieces! It was all gone! I started to realize that I had a spare tire in the trunk so it was a good thing that I brought it with me. I rummaged in the trunk.  I admit that it was my first time changing a tire. I know all men should know how, but unfortunately, I didn't. I changed the tire. The tire was a donut tire that is only supposed to last for 50 miles. And, it's like 11 o'clock at night--everything was closed.  I just had to find a place to stay and have the car fixed the next morning. in the morning. However, as I was driving, I found one hotel, but it had a casino too. My friends were driving in front of me and I waved to get their attention.  I told them that we really had to stay at the hotel because it's our only choice. The donut tire only lasts for 50 miles so I really had to pull over soon.  We finally arrived at the hotel. We gambled all night and we didn't sleep at all! I had to put up and stay up til six or seven in the morning.  I was hoping that gas station would be open by then, since I needed my tire fixed before I went on to Boston. It won't open til 9 or 10 in the morning.  We were okay with it even though we had to wait for a bit. The mechanic finally opened and they fixed the tire. Plus an oil change at the same time, which I said was fine. The oil change went fine, but the mechanic said he had some bad news for me. The engine belt had cracked and I needed a new one. We stayed at the shop for another three hours while they were replacing the belt in the engine along with a oil change and the tire as well. I waited for a long while and finally left Nevada at around12. When we entered Utah, we all were exhausted as we didn't sleep at all.  We were awake all night at the casino at Nevada last night. We decided to continue driving and we got to Colorado. We stayed at a place there because it was late. We woke up late because we wanted to catch up on our sleep. I woke up and realized that driving to Boston from LA in four days was impossible.  Really, I applaud anyone who drives from LA to Boston. To drive across the country in four days, you would have to drive about fifteen hours each day to have the right pace to arrive in Boston on time. I drove through Wymoing and Nebraska. Both states were very boring. It was just flat, with cows, etc. In Wyoming--this just popped into my head--there was a place with ten thousands cows fenced in. It was sort of a small jail. I looked at cows while I was driving and I felt sad for them because they couldn't even move. At end of the "jail", I saw a butcher shop where they were slaughtering the cows. I also saw some dead cows that were hanging! That's so typical of Wymoning. We probably get our meat from there. Very good meat, too, because I ate a steak there. I drove, and it was flat and plain through Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois I got to New York, and finally I arrived Boston. After my trip, it was six days total. I really enjoyed the trip and it was a wonderful time.  It was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to drive across the country. If so, you can ask me for advice. And, make sure you have everything ready--make sure your car is ready before you leave, like I didn't do.
