This weekend, I went home for my birthday. I turned 19, and that seems so old to me. I didn't really do anything that special for my day- but being home was special enough considering that we got 30 inches of snow and everything was closed on Wednesday. I thought I wasn't going to be able to ride the Amtrak and then the train from Penn into Long Island. But, everything was fine and my friend Cait and I wound up getting home just fine.
On my first night home, nothing exciting really happened. I just hung out with my friend Tara who was leaving for Mexico the next day and was going to miss my birthday, and my boyfriend Anthony.
The next day was actually my birthday and I had such a good day. I basically just hung out with Anthony all day, and then went out to dinner with my friends Kirstin and Cait. We went to Applebees and of course they had to make the waiters and waitresses sing for me. It's the most embarssing thing- but I also felt honored at the same time. Everyone in the resteraunt looks at you and I have to say, I like the attention. Haha.
On saturday, since I went out to eat the night before with my friends my mom made the meal of my choice. I wanted chicken cutlets for some reason, and I was so happy because I got to bring some back to school! For one meal I can escape the horrible food of the cafeteria, so that made my day.
Sadly, St. Rose does not have off for Presidents day like every other college/school/bank/post office in the rest of America so I had to travel back to Albany tonight.

Awe I love birthdays. Since my birthday is when we're off for winter break, I didn't do anything. I just sat at home and just talked to my friends on the computer! Haha. Way to have a really memorable 19th birthday right?!
I HATE when they sing to me. I get so embarrassed. I went to Red Robin's one time in the summer with three of my friends and thought it was really funny to tell the waiter while i was in the bathroom that it was my birthday. i get back and here is the entire staff singing to me and i just gave them a really angry face. I guess you can't argue when you get free cake and balloons!!!
i'm glad you had a good time at home. i wish we had the holiday off too!!
Happy birthday, it is so strange, being on the planet for two decades, isn't it. I am getting ready to turn twenty and that feels so fake, because I am definately still a little kid.
