I'm officially 19!

But there isn't really anything exciting that goes along with being 19, you know? I've always had something to look forward to: 15-only 6 months until I got my permit; 16-got my license; 17-I could get into R movies; 18-I could join the army, buy lottery tickets, and all that jazz.
But 19...just another notch in the stick of life.

I did have a good birthday though! My parents came the weekend before and brought cake:) ALL that cake was gone within 3.5 days...and no, I didn't eat it all myself!

The monday before my birthday, some girls from my unit and Spencer went to Naked Chopsticks (a japanese restaurant). Good food and good times.
On my actual birthday, I had to get up at 7am (yuck!)..but it ended well. Mike and I went to see Atonement. I love that movie now! It's really sad, but a powerful movie. Totally recommend it! And then I had some more cake.

Having your birthday in college is kind of funny, though. You get like 80 "notifications" on facebook of people writing "happy birthday" on your wall...and you have only really talked to less than half of them. During high school, everyone knew it was your birthday and whatnot...but at college only the select few who know you (and don't have to have facebook remind them!) know about it. But it's still a lot of fun.

Last Saturday, Mike and I were supposed to go to the Indianapolis Symphony--I have to go for a class. We went to his house to get the tickets, and he realized he got the dates wrong. So we ended up cooking (yes, I helped) dinner. It was a lot of fun. He gave me the job of grading cheese b/c he said it was the easiest. WRONG. I ended up with 2 broken nails and a bleeding pinky. So much for that.




Which somehow brings me to the weather. Within a weeks time we had 2 tornado warnings (in pic, we are in the basement), 1 class cancelation because of winter weather conditions, downpouring rain, sleet, and a lots of snow. HHmm...A Day after Tomorrow, anyone?


Now it's time to glide across the ice and go to the cafeteria! Never thought I'd miss my dad plowing off the roads.....the snow removal in Indy is HORRIBLE!

Stay warm:)
