I had a really amazing birthday. Both the actual day of that I spent with my family, and the party that I had with my friends this past weekend. It was honestly one of the best birthdays I've had in a very very long time. My actual birthday I spent with my parents. They came with me to Summit, and we spent the afternoon together - ate lunch, opened presents, watched home movies (which was part of my birthday presents - they had our old videos transferred to dvds) - and they took me out to dinner at Melting Pot, and we came home to watch the Oscars. I have an amazing relationship with my parents, and of late, we haven't had a lot of quality time together, so it was honestly exactly what I wanted to do on my birthday!
This past weekend I celebrated my 21st with my friends! Nothing crazy - but what was crazy was how loved and celebrated I felt. It was amazing to see all the people that actually wanted to come out for an evening to celebrate my birthday. It probably sounds silly, but it was really really amazing just to feel special. I'm not really good at having the attention on me, but in the low key setting of dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, it was just what my heart needed. We ate dinner at CPK, and then a smaller group of us headed over to friendly confines. Celebrating your birthday at restaurants has its advantages - I got a free birthday dessert (which was delicious) at CPK, and a free birthday shot at FC!). I ended the night with Charlie and Julie watching the Hunger Games. All in all, a wonderful, perfect birthday.
It's hard to believe spring break is already past its half way point! This semester is going by SO fast, and I'm having trouble staying invested in my studies. Things just aren't super engaging this semester, which is unfortunate, and I really can't afford to check out yet, considering how much I still have to do between now and the end of the semester. It's not unmanageable, but it will be hard. I really need to get my butt in gear! I probably should've waited to start back up netflix... Dr. Who is definitely messing with my productivity. :(
Overall, though, in a positive place with life right now. Lots of things to look forward to in the next month and a half to balance out the difficult school work ahead. I know all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, but I really hope I haven't strayed too far in the other direction! Buckle down time - NOW.
