BIRTHDAY - 19 - Like Adele - I Wish.

So, I am 19 years old now.

So old.

But not nearly as old as 20.

Gosh, i can’t tell you how loved I felt on this September 7^th. I woke up and my roomie, Elisa (she’s from Germany!) reminded me it was my birthday and gave me a lovely box of tea, the sweetest note and a Granny Smith green apple – my favorite fruit! Breakfast was awesome. I walked into the A Frame to find lots and lots of purple! Some of the students decided to wear purple – my favorite color – to celebrate my birthday! I got so many hugs ans so much love that I nearly burst! My birthday was on a Friday, and Friday is town day so I got to go to town and celebrate my birthday with an overpriced hot chocolate and fun times running around the Hobbiton welcome centre and the library. I also bought myself a new oversized sweater. Since we’re all broke and poor, the best we can do is chocolate. I swear, if I have to eat one more Moro bar I O.D. on sugar. Everyone bought me candy, except Matt, who got me a Red Bull – which isn’t much better if you really think about it…

I LOVE RED BULL.

Anywho.

Dinner was one of the best parts. I am the first student to have a birthday, so I didn’t know all the surprises the staff had hidden up their sleeves. They decorated a table for dinner with rock confetti and a Kiwi bird and fancy glasses and napkins and hearts and lovely little notes. I had a special setting and I was prayed over! Which was awesome. And then came the surprise. I was literally surrounded and attacked with a crazy birthday song. All the staff started screaming and there was a cake and something about birthdays and fire and then I was blowing out candles on a purple cake. It was awesome.

Then there was a jam session in the Gap and I went to sleep.

Yepyepyep.

I love birthdays.

Can’t wait to turn 20.

That’s so weird.

 

Peace out girl scout.
