  • Getting my creative juices flowing...

    Yesterday was my 21st birthday!

    Unfortunately, I spent my entire day reading research and writing a paper on GID for my developmental psychology class. I took a nap and worked, too. I suppose the best thing that came out of the day was money. Well, my parents sent me some money.

    It's funny how connected we are as a society now. My mom sent me a text message to wish me a happy birthday. My sister called and texted me. My dad sent me a voicemail. So many of my friends wished me a happy birthday on Facebook and still more greeted me this way when I saw them around campus. It's different for me to experience this much "birthday madness" since my birthday was never a big thing like this. I feel great. It's just awesome. I don't even really know what to say!

    We had a dress rehearsal until 11 (past 11 to be correct), so we just hung out together after rehearsal for a while. This leads me to my most favorite birthday memory (with one exception).

    Monica and Megan were acting funny. I kept asking Geneva what was up, but she had no idea (even though I thought she knew precisely what was going on the whole time). After rehearsal was done, Monica and Jessie talked with us for a while as we all waited for Matt to decide what we were going to do. After a long while, Matt finally emerged as Geneva and I were ready to leave. We packed up our stuff and bundled up, but just as we passed the door to the front office, Megan pulled Monica and Matt down to the office and called after Geneva and I to follow. She said it was for the ADG meeting (which Geneva and I are not a part of). I was weirded out. The minute the three of us walked through the door our mouths dropped. Our friends were standing around a table with an ice-cream cake on it. We blew out the candles together and ate the cake. It was wonderful. I can't remember feeling so surprised in my entire life. It was... It is something I will always remember.

    Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes.
