Mimi is the most amazing person ever. I don’t think I’d be able to live without her.

So Rob, Sneha, Miesque and I stopped by the St. Mary’s fair last night, and we were told we were too old to go on the Berry-Go-Round. It made me sad. On the other side of things, summer officially begins in 10 days. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself…but i’ll worry about it then. Track states is comming up June 3rd and if I replicate my Counties performnce we should be in good shape to win it all. Before I go, i’d like to point out that I ran a 10.8 100M dash time in the semi-finals; 0.1 seconds off the school record, until Chris broke it with a 10.42. Thanks Chris. In the mean time, I hearby claim myself (unofficially) the fastest Asian in the state of Michigan. We’ll see how well that plays out at states. G’night everyone.
After losing by 4 points last year, the track squad regained the regional title with a convincing victory (beating the second place team, Lutheran North, by 36.07 points) and placing in every event except the 1600M. Clayton Beard broke the 30 year old high jump record with a jump of 6’5.5″. I qualified for states in all my events:
- 100M Dash 4th place 11.09 (state qualifying)
- 400M Dash 2nd place 51.56 (All-Region and state qualifying)
- 4×400 Relay 1st place 4:28.78 (Regional Champions and state qualifying)
Overall, we dominated the meet from beginning to end. Hopefully we’ll be able to do the same at Oakland Counties and States. Congratulations to all who participated yesterday.
For those of you who don’t know what Skype is, it’s basically like an internet phone. That actually works. It works alot like AIM but better and you can video confrence and speak wi up to 100 people simultaneously. Now they’ve released a promotion that lets you call land-lines and cell phones within the U.S. and Canada until the end of the year 
If you don’t have Skype yet, now would be a good time to get on that. I promise it’s easy to use and totally worth the two seconds it takes to install. My username is btan88. Have fun prank calling your own house.
Mom,
Thanks for 17 years of unconditional love and support. Without you I’d be lost.
Love,
Brian
Happy Mother’s Day! 
For those of you who know me, I have what most people consider good handwriting. In fact I can write with my left (non-dominant) hand better than some people can with their right hand (namely Nate Wilkie). Last week, I received an email from the infamous Dr. Patricia Hanlan. The contents of the email are as follows:
Brian, I don’t have your chapter 26 homework. Please turn it in on Monday.
Dr. Hanlan
Those of you who know me also know that I always turn in my homework (don’t ask me how or why). Seeing this email, I became slightly angered as I clearly turned it in. When I asked her about it, she said she had apparently “lost” my homework. Great responsibility on the part of my teacher. Now just yesterday I received another email:
Brian,I finally figured out what happened to your homework. I read the name in the corner as Ben Lin. Neither of you seem to be able to print very well
Dr. Hanlan
WTF. I gave up on school a long time ago. Anyways is it worth it for me to fill out this NCAA Initial Eligibility form for $50.00? Remember the ice cream challenge? Here’s more on the participants.
