17 - The cheery one is truly relentless

Hello! [ Aya is as chipper as always, and waves cheerfully at the screen. ] I wanted to say thank you to everyone for making New Year's so much fun! And for the Christmas presents, of course. We didn't celebrate it much back home. I asked, and I got permission for us to have a Japanese night in the dining hall. Starting this Wednesday it's going to be once every three weeks. We're going to be making a lot, but if anyone has special requests and I can make sure they end up on the menu. Happy New Year, everyone!
