Last night, I was surrounded by a bunch of relatives who don't speak English. Boy, was that awkward. I really wish that my mom hadn't stopped teaching me Vietnamese when I was a toddler, because I think it would be really neat to know another language. (Oh, well. At least I can remember how to count to ten and say "Happy New Year"!) So, I tried to communicate with them as best I could, talking in English really slowly and using lots of hand gestures. They smiled and nodded politely, but I could tell they had no idea what I was talking about.
Also, I finished reading the new Harry Potter book. Who would have guessed that Harry would hang himself in his room, and that Dumbledore would turn out to be Lord Voldemort in disguise?
Haha, just kidding. But God, was that book depressing. I'm not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't read it yet, but...man.
