First off, happy birthday, Henry Badazz Pham! It’s been long overdue since we’ve last hung out.

Second, I have Sociology from 4-4:50 and my aunt is coming to pick me up around 6 or 7. I’d skip class but we’re finishing Hype!, the documentary on the emergence of the grunge scene in Seattle, and knowing me, I’m really into it.

I can’t wait to spend the weekend in LA though. My aunt got free tickets to see Disney’s A Christmas Carol in Hollywood tomorrow. Then afterwards, we’re going to have Japanese food across the street from El Capitan Theatre. I’m looking forward to that.

I’m just kind of scared what my aunt will say or think when she walks into my apartment and sees all the empty handles of alcohol, the unused red plastic cups, the closet mirror on the dining table, and the ping pong balls sitting on the kitchen counter. Not to mention the cases of beer in my fridge and the leftover alcohol in my freezer. But I digress…

Hell Week starts on Sunday! That means I have to come back early on Sunday. Practice is mandatory all next week and Thai-Han’s birthday dinner is Tuesday; I don’t think I can make it. I’m in 5 out of 7 pieces this quarter. That’s such a huge improvement compared to last quarter when I was only in two pieces! No school on Wednesday, no practice on Thursday. Hell Week should be fun. T-8 days until Rose Pageant!
