Day 11 - March 13, 2008

to my credit, i just started writing and it is 11:58 (thank you, technicality!)

so today was my birf-a-day (yes i really do say it that way sometimes).

it started out a little off, with some excessive commenting on my social networking profiles from one person in particular.

it made me feel like she thought i had no friends.

and then my father came into the picture, making things only get worse.
He acted like he had done absolutely nothing wrong and everything was just fine between us.

things started to get better when more comments came rolling in (lots of my friends stopped by to wish me a happy birthday). one of my good friends back in michigan even got me a gift (thanks again) which was too kind and made me feel very special and appreciated. my girlfriend made me a little glass penguin, and so he will sit on my desk. my mom sent me food and money (what more does a college student need?)

i never did smoke a cigar, but i might take the time to do so tomorrow(better late than never).

i went to my meeting wih my english group for our presentation tomorrow and once they discovered my birthday they were very enthusiastic about making sure i felt special.

i didn't do anything special (and no one really asked me to) so i guess i wish that had happened. but on the whole the day was enjoyable, and i feel special again (there are a few people who didnt wish me a happy b-day who i thought should have, but there's nothing i can do about that.)

all-in-all today was good, not the most special birthday (and to be honest, 19 isn't a big birthday). there were some things that could've been better, but i can't complain(well i can, but it dont get me no wheres).
