This past weekend was the best weekend of doing pretty much nothing I have ever had. As it was Anne and my birthday weekend we had so many plans, that were obviously thrown out due to the snow in Roma. We couldn't do a lot, but we were not about to take it laying down, we are Loyola students. WE WILL PARTY.
After spending many an hour in the cafe not doing the 6 page research paper I could have easily written 5 times over in the time I wasted. I wouldn't have had it any other way, we all had a very good time, and made a whole lotta memories.
Yesterday (my birthday) was odd, with the internet down (oh the horror) and my paper that was due today yet to be written, I talked to my family, and it was really odd to not be with them on my birthday. I hadn't thought about it yet, but for the kid who strayed all of 26 miles for college it was a weird feeling.
Then of course, I went to my friends room and watched parent trap with my JFRC family. (Its okay to be jealous) After we got dinner (still no paper written) I realized how happy I really was. Not just for my birthday, but for my entire life.
I realized how lucky I am. I am completely separated from the family I have spent my first 20 birthdays with, however I am really happy to be here in Rome.
Honestly Happy, the most I have been in my entire life. The next year of my life will surely be interesting as I graduate and (hopefully) start a career, and I cannot wait to get started. Maybe I should go start that paper, maybe.
