So, I saw 'Hero' last night with V, Jen, and Nancy. It was actually a good movie - kind of overdone, but since it's a Chinese tragedy, that's to be expected. The colors were beautiful. So yeah, I enjoyed it very much. The imperialism was so thick you could swim in it, but that didn't take away from the movie, really.

Anyway...

Mom had a very nice birthday yesterday. My father and I made pizza from scratch and it turned out pretty good. He also got her a ring to replace the wedding ring that had broken a while back. It was expensive and very pretty.

I said goodbye to V last night. By now, she's on her way to Victoria. I'll see her again in a month, for a little while... It's sad, though. I got a little bit teary last night, but we didn't linger over the goodbye, so it was okay.

I'm really going to miss her. But I know she'll do well at school, and will be back at Christmas.

So... good luck, V! I expect daily updates in the journal to keep me informed. Don't forget!
