Everyone wished me happy birthday and sung the "Very Merry Birthday" song, but I was a little disappointed that nothing much was done for me. I understood though because everyone was busy with midterms. Then, after Latin class, Alisha gave me a little card and walked away. The card had a note, which led to another note, which led to another note. Finally, I came to the first floor tea kitchen where all my friends were. I was legally toasted on my 20th birthday. They had cake, and alcohol, and candy. It lasted five minutes before Suzy- the R.A. - told me that I needed to call Dr. Asci to reschedule an exam because I was going to the doctor's the day of it. When I returned, I studied for my Christian Marriage midterm. It was pretty much the best birthday EVER!
