dream of the English essay, the loose doorknob and the car jack

I was a student in a school new to me, new program, nice
curriculum, people around me whom I liked. One of the
classes was English and after a time, with the schedule in
place, I was noticing that the other students were working
hard on their English essay; they were enthusiastic and
working hard (like I usually do and others don't in my
early school experience). I realized that I needed to work
on my essay too. So I went upstairs to my room and realized
as I walked, that I was carrying the knob to one of the
doors. This was not right, so I went back with the intent
of repair. Another was there too and he pointed out that
the repair would entail a tire pump. Since it was more
convenient than my car, we would use the pump from a car
nearer by I decided somewhat arbitrarily and the owner
said, "fine" though with a bit of hesitation. Opening his
car turned out to be highly automated and really quite a
lot of trouble, however. You could hear the sounds as
things decompressed and the mechanism opened (it was a
small compact car).
