Yay! I have missed the Q alter-ego (but am very happy that we've been in touch elsewhere)! I should follow your lead and post on luce_cinerea sometime soon, ehy?
Your English is holding up very well, IMHO. There are a few notes i could make re the above, but they're probably not worth it because none are easy "rules".
(...well, except "21th" -- there's a rule there. Any number ending in 1 ends in "1st" for "firST". Any ending in two is "2nd" for "secoND". Any ending in 3 is "3rd" for "thiRD". After that, it goes to "th" for "fourTH", "fifTH", etc. So "21st" for "twenty-firST" is correct.)
Either way, i think you'll do great. If you have any questions, feel free to ask -- and in math and physics, too. Depending on the question, i might be able to help. (For history and art, you're on your own...) :)

...you know, sometimes I make the silliest mistakes.
Me, too, often with little things like this. It's hard to remember them all when in the act of writing.
if you're talking of physics, in English there are "speed" and "velocity", that's right?
Yes, it's true. In our physics, we actually had "distance" (scalar) and "displacement" (vector) as well. When i commute to work and back home, i go lots of distance, but end up with zero displacement. (From this standpoint, it's very easy to feel as if i truly am going nowhere...)
We cannot sit down.
Yikes... that would kill me. We did a show this past weekend where i probably spent most of a similar stretch of time standing and/or walking and/or carrying gear around -- and i only had my work boots to wear. By the time we were done, i was dying to sit down...
Always use "on" when referring to the days in a month (es: on July 4th, on Christmas eve, etc...). As for "3rd", earthshine alreay explained the rule behind it. ^_-

Good luck... and have fun at the clothing shop!
