the day started out really slow, but things picked up after lunch.
at dinner all the singers (like 15) at the table started singing happy birthday to me in the cafeteria. ive never had happy birthday sung to me that well before! hahaha. but they totally caught me off guard. i think they started singing right when i put a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth. but i felt really special, it was quite the experience.
i practiced for a good chunk of time, then some of the girls and i were supposed to go to a local pub for drinks, but the driver ended up locking herself out of her car with all her money and id and everything in it. so we ended up going to the market to buy wine and cheese, and ice cream (of course!)
so we had a small gathering on our porch. but i downed too much wine in a short period of time. i think i might have felt the punch a liiiitle too much. but i really had a good time and the fact that my favorite singer came to the party added to the excitement of the night ;)
i ended feeling like crap by the time i had to go to bed, but naturally i purged everything out leaving me feeling a lot better. i felt like i got rid of all the yucky feeling that ive been harboring for a while too. all is good!
lets see, im in the middle of reading the new harry potter, so im pretty content right now.
oh, and to all who have sent their birthday wishes, thank you. you do not know how much joy and comfort it gives me to know that people were thinking of me back home. i would have given anything to chill with you guys. but that day will come soon enough.
only two and a half more weeks to go! wish me luck.
