I went to my first office dinner tonight. Red Lobster. I had crab. And the co-workers started getting tipsy and talked about things that were waaaayy too personal. Good thing I had a virgin daquiri (fucking age limit, I felt like I was a baby), however I kept my trap shut.
Mom wants to throw me a going away/21st bday party. But it will probably be the weekend before classes start for everyone, therefore everyone will be busy at school, getting ready. Its July and I have already made a list out of birthday presents. I never come up with anything until a week before. Too bad I'm one of those damn people who asks for practical shit I'll need/use in Spain. "Oh a power converter for my macbook would be lovely Grandma" "Thank you for the money belt Dad, I'll need that so I won't get robbed" "Alison, these pumps are fabulous, I'll kill my feet but hopefully I'll blend into the Spanish scene" "A battery charger with rechargeable batteries! Just what I always needed for my camera, thanks mom!"
It's nice to think that I'm going away for the weekend, to a lake, so out in the middle of nowhere that the untouchable-verizon-wireless cannot get a signal. Just me and my dad. While Alison and her crazy friends tear apart our house. How lovely a thought it is.
My friends who are going to Spain with me are now getting nervous and aren't quite excited. This was the opposite 4 months ago. I was scared to death and they couldn't shut up about it. I'm so ready to go. From now until then, I only have one weekend free (Aug 4-6). I am a busy bee.
