long update. more for my personal reference
going back to dec 15- last christmas concert at nhs, i was sad.
friday- told myself i was going to stay home and write my seminar paper but instead jane, jenny, and i sang karaoke and then went shopping around the ac moore area and then to barnes and nobles and then back to jenny's.
saturday- told myself i was going to write part of my paper and didn't of course. i went to see harry potter for the 2nd time with zaib. it was fun. i noticed a lot more things. i LOVE HARRY POTTER. this movie was good but the book was good so there is no way that they could have fucked up the movie.
then jenny and i went shopping, willowbrook. we took the local way before. this time though we got lost though. i knew where we were on the highway but not how to get there anymore locally so we were forced to go on the highway. mind u its been over 11 months since i have gone on the highway and i'm not too sure of how to merge and use my mirrors to judge at night. haha it was fun! jenny and my mirrors were helpful. we bought a ton of christmas shit! my arms hurt like a bitch.fun! and then we went home pretty late. a million hours at the mall! taking the highway home of course.
sunday-went to chinatown. so much traffic. bout christmas stuff and food. then i went ot go see my lily in amahl and the ngiht visitors . she was wonderful. then my family and i went to toys r us and ended up staying at the mall cause there was so much traffic getting out.
monday- picked up my senior pictures. they look so bad but if anyone wants one, just let me know. then i kinda worked on my paper.
tuesday- messiah practice for two and a half hours and then to kohl's with my mommy.
wednesday- no school. i was soo tired and drained. the concert that night was spectacular amazing. everoyne stood up for us during our last song and it was amaizng. i;m going to miss this choir no matter how much cundari and i don;t get along.
thursday- caroline came to school! afterschool jenny, caroliner, and i went to target and then pathmark. then caroline and i made cheesecakes. i made a mess. it was funny. then my paper!!!! til about 3:30 am and then went to bed and woke up at 5:30 6 ish to finish it.
friday- i ended up finishing the paper in school but i was happy with it in the end. handed it in and then went to my volleyball tournament. everyone hates my team cause we have cocky boys on it. we ended up losing. oh well. we had shirts. i took a sharpie and wrote "We're going to Nguyen" haha if u dont know how to pronounce my last name, you're not goign to get it. then people came over and we hung otu and i gave gifts out. joey's huge sandwiches for lunch. then i finsihed wrapping my gifts and watching the chinese movie "10 chinese brothers" its like the book from elementary school of the 5 chinese brothers or 7 i forget, who had magical powers. one could swallow the whole sea, one could stretch their legs, another, their arms,etc. then i was santa. dropped everyone's gifts off, visited leianne. then zaib and i went to visit jazz. then came home and jim came over to exchange gifts and hang out. i was going to go out with them but around 11:30 ish i had to admit i had no energy.
saturday- slept til 2:00 pm! it was awesome. but i was sick. blah it sucks to have a cold on christmas. then i did laundry and was kinda good. i did some chores. then at 9:00 at ngiht, i went to vietnamese church which is really the same as any catholic church except the prayers and sermons are in vietnamese. i saw people who i havent seen in a while. and i sat with my littlest cousin daniel. he is so cute. he was laughing and singing through mass. got home and did more cleaning.
christmas- crazy!!! first i went to my dad's side at noon. opened up gifts and stuff. i got one gift, the rest was money. played with some of my little cousins. then i went back home where my mom's side was all there. then my dad's side showed up cause they love the food my mom and grandma makes. there was so many kids and people. i put down my bowl of noodles, went to change my skirt, came back and
my noodles were gone! someone else was eating it. but they didn;t know it was mine so no big deal. i hadn;t started eating it yet.
dropped off some eggrolls to people. it was fun. we played games and talked. i showed my magic trick and they thought it was kewl.we played a little blackjack and a vietnamese card game. had a little arbor mist. and then played video games with the kids. fun fun day/night.
