It was both Cherry and Kevin (Huang)'s birthday today. During the one hour period between the kids' kung fu class and my own, I went around the Chinatown area looking for a present to buy Kevin- man, who woulda thought buying presents was so freakin' hard? haha. Yea, I only had to look for something for Kevin cuz someone else took care of the present for Cherry for me.

I went to Cherry's party later that night. She took us to Japon, the sushi/teppanyaki place near school. It was really cool, they did the whole Benihana-style flippy spatula thing, it was awesome! And the chef had this knife that cut through everything in a single effortless stroke- it was a killing machine!!! hahaha. Yea, I asked him what brand it was, but he wouldn't tell me. grrrr.

After cake and presents, we decided to go ice skating. But when we got to the place, it was gonna close in like 30 minutes, so we decided to go bowling. The place was packed, and we had to wait, so we went to the arcade. I played air hockey for like 10 minutes straight, without anybody scoring, haha- the table musta been busted or something. Umm, yea, and I played some Tekken 4- really fun... then this like 6 year old kid comes and challenges me, and he totally SCHOOLS me, hahaha!!! It was hilarious. After waiting for a bit longer, we decided to leave.

It was at that point that Rex said he needed to go finish his UT scholarship essays soon. And I was like, "What? What scholarships due tonight? I thought they were all due in February." Apparently, the main scholarships were due 12/01... and I didn't find out about 'em 'til tonight. D'OH!!! So I decide it was time to go home too. They had to drive me back to Cherry's place to get my car though. On the way back, we saw these two humongous streaks going across the sky parallel to each other. I was like, "Oh my gosh! Missiles, I bet they're missiles!" I guess I was wrong, haha, whew...

So then I floor it home and start the scholarship app. Man, who woulda thought it was so freakin' long? And I had 3 essays to finish. This explains the next blog entry. So basically, I needed to finish an entire scholarship application and 3 essays in slightly over an hour!

*I read the next morning that the streaks across the sky were "space debris." Yea... that's what the government says at least... roooooiiiiiiight.
