Happy New Year!!

WOOHOO!! 2010!!!! Now, on my homework, instead of "12/10/09", I'll haveta put "1/1/10"!! It's the first time I put a year that doesn't have a zero on my homework! Woo hoo! Happy New Year, all!

Winter break was super fun! The swine flu vaccine wasn't that bad at all, even though we spent at least 3 hours waiting and doing all the procedures and stuff. And I got on the news! ^^ I had a party with some of my best friends the day after, anyways. I got hand warmers (I REALLY WANTED THEM) and candy (THE COOLEST THING TO HAVE) during our "Secret Santa" event! And I got really expensive, cool, cute Christmas presents. This is the coolest Chirstmas EVER!

On the 26th of Dec, I had that traditional family Christmas party. I got presents, but not as good as the ones my parents gave me the day before (that was Christmas day). It was pretty average. The kids (my cousins and me) ate pizza-cheese, sausage, and whatever. Pretty fun!

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I spent some time out with my badminton friends. Tuesday was an eating-together day, Wednesday was a 4-hour badminton playing day, and Thursday was a New Year's Party at my badminton friend's house. It started at, like, 5 PM, and I stayed all the way until 1 AM. AMAZING! I learned how to play mahjong (a little bit, anyways. I get the idea, at least). I played this game called "What do you think?" with my friend. We take turns saying random things-things that pop into our minds after the person before you said something. We played that while bouncing this huge exercising ball back and forth. We ate dinner-mashed potatoes, sushi, salad, and vegetable stew-and dessert-apple pie and coffee cake. After we ate the coffee cake, we played UNO with my badminton friend's family friend, my badminton friend's older sister, and my older brother, who came along. They are all in high school, so they made the game ten times more hilarious. I ended up winning first :]

The rest of winter break will probably be a relaxing, homework-doing day. I look forward to seeing my friends again!

Happy New Year, and Merry Christmas~
