Updates/news:
1) My 4-year-old cousin is hilarious. When he doesn't want to talk to you, he says: "Ngo mm duck han ah!" ("I'm busy!" in Chinese.)
ex. (in translation)
My mom: "Hi Aaron! Do you recognize me?"
Aaron: "I'm busy."
Another funny conversation (this one was in English):
Aaron: "Where are we going?"
Tim: "I don't know."
Aaron: "I don't know too!"
Tina: "Aaron, you should say, 'I don't know either.'"
Aaron: "Me too!"
2) While outlet shopping today, after encouraging me to buy the pair of fliplops I was considering, my mom told me: "Your clothing is too conservative." Ummm...when does a mom *ever* say that to her daughter??? I was cracking up! Hahahahah.
3) My mom handed me some mail that had been forwarded from our old address. In that pile, there was an invitation to a wedding reception: Anupa Reddy is getting married this summer! That's the third friend from our generation of CVHS whose engagement I've found out about this year (the other two: Andy Lee and Matt Davis). Congratulations to all the happy couples! I look forward to seeing Anupa; it'll be the first time in several years. :)

Greetings from New York! I'm here for a week with my mom and brother to visit my mom's youngest sister's family. It's fun to see my littlest cousin, Aaron, who's four years old now! My mom will actually be staying for a full month, along with one of their other sisters who's here from Hong Kong. Three Hung sisters in one house...this'll probably be an interesting week. ;)
It's been a crazy week since graduation. It took me a long time to get moved, and I've also been slowly acquiring furniture and trying to get organized. I think I finally have all the furniture I need for my bedroom, pending the pickup of a used bedframe and a new mattress next week. My room is still a mess, but I made some significant progress! So that all made for a busy week, in addition to spending a couple days at home and helping organize Waltz Weekend again (my fourth year in a row).
Bop came back yesterday from camp! We only overlapped at the apartment for one night, which is sad. :( But we'll be reunited for good when I get back next week, which is happy. :) Our apartment is very blue. Seriously. Really, I'm not kidding.
I'm pretty tired after a 5.5 hour flight, so that's all for now. Just wanted to post a short update since I haven't written anything of substance all month. Hope you're all doing well!

The DSL equipment arrived today, and I set that up *and* the wireless router all by myself! (Just a little help from bop for the security setup.) I am so cool! :-P Now I don't have to leech off the wireless from someone else in this building anymore. Yay!

I sent out a mass email tonight with my new contact info. If you didn't get it but would like the update, let me know and I can send it to you (assuming I know you).
Back to death by papers and take-homes...

Happy Birthday, Yangchen!
Thanks for a great year as roommates! I couldn't have been more fortunate with a "random" assignment. God is so good to me. :)

Today was the last day of classes. Of course, it doesn't really feel like the "last" of anything yet, since I've still got so much work to do. First up: final presentation in Music 144. I have to talk for 15 minutes about the representation of evil in the theological worldviews reflected in several 19th-century Faust works. Fun, huh? =P
