3:00 P.M. Vinh goes tubing on the Canon River with two friends. About half way down he realizes that he left his car keys in his friend's car. This is notable as Vinh's car is where they plan on ending their tubing time. This realization is followed by some swearing, laughing, and guilt.
5:38 P.M. Vinh is luckily able to retrieve his cell phone from his car and is able to call a cab back to town. Laura is especially lucky since she did not have shoes and the walk back to town on gravel would most likely have spelled death for her.
10:00 P.M. Vinh receives a call from Thomas "Bonewolf" Cullen and confusedly talks to him for about ten minutes about hanging out. Vinh is reluctant to hang out as he must rise early for work the next day. Vinh is confused because the person on the phone does not sound like Tommy and claims to have a surprise for him. Vinh wonders if it will be about as exciting as the prizes found at the bottom of a cereal box.
10:23 P.M.The surprise is none other than Erik Larsen. He was also the person on the phone. They drive to campus to watch the fireworks on the top floor of Regents Hall.
10:30 P.M. They arrive at Regents and run into some friends. They learn that the fireworks they had intended to watched had just ended. So far hanging out has only resulted in failure.
July 5, 2012 Day 33
1:00 P.M. Vinh has a match at Shakopee. Two players arrive and Vinh must face the embarrassment of defaulting a majority of his matches and he wonders who thought a match the day after the fourth of July was a good idea. A possible "no fun zone" alert.
7:00 P.M. Vinh makes jean cutoffs from an old pair of jeans. Considers it one of his best life choices in recent memory.
July 11, 2012 Day 39
6:00 A.M. Vinh wakes up after only about two hours of sleep. His insomnia chooses the worst possible nights to be exceptional. Vinh struggles with short term memory loss as he prepares for a tournament in Mankato. He makes a lunch and heads to the high school to meet with parents and players at 7:00 A.M.
8:30 A.M. - 4:13 P.M. Vinh battles fatigue, indifference, and general laziness during his matches as he creates line ups, makes errors assigning courts, and forgets to record scores from his matches. Vinh spends much of the day sitting and staring off into space. Despite this his team manages a second place finish and Northfield sweeps the top three spots at the tournament for U-14s.
4:15 P.M.- 5:15 P.M. Vinh naps the whole way back to Northfield and considers not playing pick up, but goes anyway because the fatigue has made him, pardon the language, "give zero fucks".
5:30 P.M. Cole "Blue Man" Steigler provides a surprise cameo at pick up.
8:13 P.M. As he waits for his laundry, Vinh realizes he has not done Vinh Watch updates in quite some time and decides he needs to comment on some of his activities. He considers that perhaps his life has become too boring and unable to be dramatized.
10:03 P.M. Vinh finishes doing some Vinh Watch updates and considers them to be his worst ones yet. Feels the need to apologize to any readers for wasting their time. While there may be a gem here and there in this batch of updates Vinh feels that overall this does not live up to par for Vinh Watch. Encourages readers to ream him for his flavorless droll.
10:07 P.M.Looks up the word droll to make sure he used it properly. He did not.
10:08 P.M. Vinh tries to hide his tears of shame, but once again fatigue has made him "give no fucks".
