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 Symph
ony--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:)

get over the snow Jen, come live in Buffalo and then you might not complain as much, hehehe!
I hope all is well. You could be Dorthy with all that hurricane action going on! later.
Well, Marissa, if YOU didn't know it was her b-day then that would be pretty bad considering you guys are like best friends! I've known Jen for what, 1 year? And in that 1 year i would only talk to her on Wednesdays and Sundays and the occasional day that she would come over to our house. So i have an excuse for not knowing when her b-day is.
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS! Mi deseo para ti este año es que sigas practicando tu español - escrito Y oral - y que aprendas mucho más que lo que enseñan en tus clases universitarias. Tendremos que hablar juntas después de regresar de nuestras viajes el verano que viene, ¿eh?
camcam- you no longer have an excuse for not knowing my birthday:)
marf-......
Cammy-- I love playing in the snow...but not driving in it, lol. I bet it is crazy over there!
Gracias senora:)
Si, Si...tendremos que hablar depues de los viajes.
Did you ever end up getting a phone call from the projects abroad people?
oh yes, and i gave them a glowing recommendation. they actually just asked me to send them an email, so it was quite easy. are you counting down the days???
yes i do have an excuse. i don't know exactly which day your b-day is. your post just says "i'm 19!" it doesn't say exactly what date you turned 19.
do you know when my b-day is? this should be easy considering you know my sister's b-day.
jenjen, time to post again, marissa just did!
JEN!!! YOU NEED TO POST! POST! POST! POST!
