January
I started to write about January in May right now. January passed unnoticed. Lassiter hosted fencing tournament on January 8th and Jasmine participated that day. Jasmine turned 17. Jordan, Jasmine's special friend visited our house.
February
Um, February was just another month with work for me and school for Jasmine.
March
March was also just another month in paradise! Jasmine took the first SAT exam with score 1370. Pretty good considering no payment for $$$ SAT test prep. She also signed up to take Joshua's law which required total of 32 hours to learn to be a responsible driver. She completed the lessons in 2 weekends. In summer, she would continue with 6-hr driving lessons.
April
My work started to open the office again on April 18th. No more 3rd floor and 4th floor, only the 1st and 2nd floors remained. The best part was it was no longer a mandatory order to go to the office anymore. We still could work from home.
May
May marked the end of 2021-2022 school year. Jasmine finished 11th grade. Time flied. Jasmine had her 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Our house got new fences installed.
June
Jasmine had one week camp at Emory University. She came back one day sooner because her roommate got covid. She also had Scoliosis x-ray and the doctor confirmed the surgery was not needed. I was so happy and tremendously relieved after hearing so.
July
Jasmine spent summer break with her dad.
I met a new friend in Tennessee, and I got to celebrate my birthday with my friend there.
August
Jasmine started her senior year in Lassiter High School. She decided to join Drama Club this year and quit the Fencing Club.
September
Jasmine passed the driving test and got the real driver license. She started to drive by herself. I was nervous in the beginning, but I believed in her attitude on safe driving, so, I just prayed for her safe drive and relaxed my mind. Jasmine and Jordan were no longer special friend for each other. I visited Tennessee friend.
October
October passed by normally and calmly.
November
Jasmine participated in SPLASH organized by MIT. She enjoyed 2-day classes offered there and I did enjoy seeing my old friends, Off and Q and their children; DeeDee, and DaDa. P Jiab and P Chai, my friends from college back in Thailand, now living in Connecticut also came to visit me and Off in Boston. I got to visit Harvard Museum of Art and Harvard Museum of Natural History. Friday after Thanksgiving, Jasmine and I went to P-Tee and P-Maew's house. We also saw Gan, their 9th grade son and Mew, their friends' daughter, and a senior at GATech.
December
Jasmine started to apply for colleges. I had 2.5 weeks off! I spent time cleaning up closets and such, shared toys with the neighbors and planned to donate and throw away some stuff. It was said that this winter was the coldest winter in 40 years!!!!
2022 Winter Arctic Blast Will Bring Coldest Christmas in 40 Years | Martha Stewart
During Christmas, I went to Miami beach, FL with my Tennessee friend. It was too cold and windy on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It should have been 70-80 degrees instead of 50+ degrees around this time of the year in Miami. We spent most of the time reading, and watching movies. We got to have hot choco and cookies at Fontainebleau hotel on Christmas Eve midnight though. I am on track of spending New Year Eve night and New Year Day at the Thai temple, Wat Phramahajanaka in Griffin, Georgia.
