Dear Pom Pom,

We haven’t written each other letters in a few days! Or maybe a week. I don’t have much to update you about, but here goes!

California has nice weather now, yay! Every day is a happy day. That is like, my quote. I say it every day: ”Today’s a happy day!” I love having an optimistic attitude, but sometimes I bring my hopes up too much and it all comes crashing down. Still, at least I have hope and faith for everything, right? Anyways, my spring break is COMING! I wish I had my spring break on the same week that you guys (temple group) did. We could have gone to Great America together or something with everyone! I missed the last two times you guys went to Great America cause I was in Thailand… Oh well. Summer is coming too, we can go everywhere together… I think. I’m going to be studying a lot during summer for SATs and all that stuff. I’m sure you will be too! Ughh, gross. I don’t want to be busy over my summer vacation. But for spring break, I’m busy every day because I have to meet up with my Tech Challenge group and create our device! AGH, I’m so angry. I want to go to Los Angeles with my daddy, but I have to stay for this freaking project. Actually, I don’t HAVE to, but it’s mean to just ditch them while they’re making the whole machine… I hope I’ll have another chance to go to LA during summer again. Maybe you should come with me too, if I do end up going!

I got my braces tightened today and they hurt like a b****. I can’t chew ANYTHING. Every time I go to the orthodontist and they try to fix it, another problem occurs. They put on these rotation things for me so my tooth can rotate in the right direction, but now this other tooth on the other side of my mouth is rotating too, WHEN IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO! So frustrating. I should just take these ugly traintracaks off my mouth now and forget all of this.

Every day, I almost swear. It’s like, a normal thing for me now. I always have to stop myself from swearing. I know it’s not such a bad thing, but I don’t know, I don’t want to do it. But I do. Hahaha!

Dear Pom Pom,

I’m really tired right now. Today was a super long day.

I went to my friend’s apartment at 10:30 am to work on a Japanese project. There were the five of us and it took four hours to finish… Our movie is so lame, it’s funny and I can’t stop cracking up whenever I watch it!

After filming the movie, I went to my other friend’s house for the Tech Challenge meeting. We created a “satellite!” That’s not part of our mission, though… But we need it anyway to practice.

Then I went to the restaurant, worked on homework, went home, and here I am now!

I really, really don’t want to go to the temple tomorrow. I don’t really feel like going to the temple anymore… It’s not fun and I always have so much homework to finish. I don’t know what I’m going to do next year.

Also, today, I told my dad that I kind of want to open up a cafe. He ALWAYS tells me, no matter what I say to him about what I want to be in the future, that I will regret it. Because I don’t want to become a doctor anymore… I’m actually really confused. Becoming a doctor takes too long, so I thought about being a nurse. Nurses don’t get that much pay and I don’t really want to live around dying people, either… Of course every parent wants their child to be a doctor in the future so they can be successful, but saying that they will be sorry for not becoming one? No, if I become one, I’ll most likely be sorry for not picking another career because it’s so time consuming and depressing! I don’t want to do something that I don’t like to do… I’m not going to spend the rest of my life like that.

Dear Pom Pom,

Not much happened today, I think.

I hate how my bathroom lights aren’t working. I have to leave the door open when I take a shower in the morning, otherwise it’d be pitch black! I hate the dark too, ugh. It’s so scary. My grandma sat in front of the bathroom or near it to lessen down my fear! She’s not really my grandma, but I call her Yai Mit because she acts like one! Plus she’s an old family friend.

Blah, blah, blah, average day at school. I kind of realized why I never really get anywhere with guys. It’s because I always set a “friend line” between me and my guy friends. I don’t like going too far or doing anything that only friends would do and if they tried, I avoid it. I talked to Fred today, he kept “punching” me in the face. My relationship with Kent is distancing… He’s getting closer to my friend who I’m really awkward with in class. 

After school, me and Michelle walked to Verde and I bought some salty fried chicken. When we got there, we found Yising! So I shared my chicken with them two and walked back to school while it was sprinkling. It was soooo good. Us three hung out for an hour or two and then I left to the restaurant. THEN I WATCHED HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON! It’s one of the cutest movies, EVER! Seriously. 

Good day, I guess. Time to create my Japanese skit script! My group isn’t doing anything to help me (-__-), so I have to write it all myself. We’re going to make a video tomorrow for our project and I have a Tech Challenge meeting.

Dear Pom Pom,

I’m sorry I haven’t been blogging lately! Monday through Friday was REALLY busy. My projects and important tests are all finished now, so I can relax! I had no homework yesterday and barely any today. Woohoo!

Well, today at school, I looked at the school newspaper called The Prospector and on the front cover, I saw a little box that said, “IS YOUR NAME JOANNA LEE? are you a sheep? well, if so, turn to page 2 for a PLEASANT SURPRISE!” And so I turned to page 2 and I saw a picture of Fred holding a sign: “Joanna Lee, will you go to junior prom with me?” I wasn’t surprised, I knew he was going to ask someone else and everything. I don’t feel sad, bad, good, or whatever. I’m okay about it and I don’t really care at all, haha. Shows how much I like him. Barely! I think it’s almost gone now, the crush I have for him.

Happy April Fool’s Day! I got 38 people when I said, “Your shoes are untied!”

It’s International Week this week for my school, so we’ve been having interesting events every day. Yesterday, Anime Club and Korean Club danced in the quad during lunch. Anime Club was a little bit awkward… BUT KOREAN CLUB WAS AMAZING! My friends who are so cute and innocent and everything were dancing all sexy and seductively, it was so weird to see them that way, BUT THEY WERE FREAKING GOOD! It was so unexpected.

Oh. My. God. Today in PE, we had to power walk 2 and a half miles in 37 minutes to get an A. Power walking may not seem so bad, BUT IT HURTS LIKE … $@#@! I finished 10 laps in 34:42. I’d rather RUN two miles than power walk…

My left eye is still swollen.

Dear Pom Pom,

First, I just want to say… LOOK AT THE MOON THROUGH YOUR WINDOW! It’s a full moon and it’s really bright tonight. It’s very, very pretty. SUAI MAAK MAAK.

As I was walking home from the bus stop today, I saw the sunset! It was soooooo pretty. I like taking walks outside in this weather, it’s so fun and it makes me appreciate the nature around me, haha! 

Before I got off the bus, I saw so many old ladies holding lots of bags alone. It’s so sad! I always see so many of them and no one ever helps them hold their stuff. I would, but I can’t just get off the bus to help them… I love old people too much! Speaking of old people, I miss my grandparents. My sister told me that my grandpa had a few strokes in Thailand… I hope he’s okay now. They’re coming back to America soon and I will treat them so, so, so much better than I did before. I think I was a bad grandchild, I was so stubborn. I want them to spend the rest of their lives happily, so I’ll do everything gladly for them, starting from when they return.

Next summer, I’m going to Thailand with my family! You should come too, yay. It would be hecka fun and we can go around buying cheap and cute Thai clothes together.

Oh, and also, while I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop in front of Valleyfair, I thought about how both your mom and I plopped down on those Santana Row chairs. I started laughing on my own and felt really stupid. I still can’t get over it!
