i haven't updated in awhile. i've been workin workin workin, school-wise that is. finally, i'm in the last week, i go home to sweet ol north carolina on friday! the time has been dragging on and on, i'm trying to keep myself from goin' nuts but it's been tough.
last wednesday, i got to hang out with lexi before she left. thanks for the great birthday dinner, honey >;D. it was sad to see her go, she's been a great friend, and helped me out when i was lonely. thanks for everything lexi, i won't forget it!
then friday, was my birthday. i got hooked up with a mini cake with a cherry on top, just for me, and pink roses and pink balloons! awww it was great, i'm glad i found a few good (bad!) girls in this college full of stupid bitches. later on, i went shopping, trying to act like i had some fuckin' money HA! well, i was trying to find a winter coat, but no luck, who thought it would be so damn hard?! instead, i bought cute fuzzy black gloves and a really warm black scarf, a sweater, and MAC russian red lipstick! the girls at the counter were nice to me! very strange haha.
i came back to my room and hung out for a bit, listened to sinatra, because it was his birthday too! and did some reading on la virgen de guadalupe (la pena que me atormenta pongo en tus benditas manos) like i do every year because my birthday is her day. then, jessica and ruby took me to the north end for the first time, and i had the BEST fucking italian food ever! i ate every single bite, and if the restaurant hadn't been so damn nice, i would've sopped up all the sauce, usin one of those bread pieces as a biscuit >;D haha. an italian man playing the guitar sang happy birthday to me in italian, AND 2 sinatra tunes, he sang Fly Me to the Moon, oh my god it was great.
all in all it was a great birthday, my family never makes a big deal out of birthdays really, so it was insane to get all this excellent treatment from girls i've only known for a few months. maybe there are a FEW decent people left in the world haha. i really appreciated it though, considering i couldn't spend this birthday with my baby, they did a good job keeping me pretty distracted throughout the day. i did get a package from him, the cutest fucking birthday card, and some of his artwork, and a frida kahlo purse made of a cigar box!
i am finally done with the stupid english final paper, i have my spanish and chemistry finals on tuesday, and my biology test on friday, wish me luck!
