Current Mood:  cheerful
So, yesterday was my birthday. Go me!
All in all, it was a way awesome day. Got to hang out pretty much all day with Paul (<3), Jim and Shelby came over, and there were presents! I got new speakers w/ a subwoofer from Paul (in his words, "Something you and all of your roommates can enjoy for some time." ^_^), plus the promise of either something shiny and sharp (aka a knife of some sort) or something shiny that causes fire (aka LIGHTER). Jim got me a really beautiful hardback copy of Magician, by Raymon E. Feist, which is probably one of my favorite books that I haven't read in a while, because I lost it in paperback form. :( for the losing, but :D for Jim for buying me the new one. Shelby got me a "Neil Gaiman sampler", aka Smoke and Mirrors, which is cool because I've never read NG but have wanted to but wasn't sure where to start. She also got me a Mirrormask book, which Paul and I meant to go see several times but didn't, but will probably be sure to either rent or buy when it comes out.
Oh! And Alison and Lydia made cupcakes, and put a little candle in one of them, and they all (Alison, Kristen, Lydia, Danny (Kristen's bf), and Josh (Lydia's bf)) sang Happy Birthday to me. ^_^
Paul took me out to dinner to a really lovely place called Il Fornaio that's just a short walk downtown from here, and it was great. I'm mildly upset at myself, however, for ordering a 22 oz. steak. You heard me, 22 oz. Although, in my defense, I have no idea how big an ounce is, and didn't know that the steak would get it's own plate when it was served to me with vegetables and things. What I should have gotten was this organic grilled salmon with lobster sauce on it. I even asked the guy about it, but noooooo, I am afraid of trying new things, and so got the steak instead. Now, don't get me wrong, the steak was (and will be for the next four days..) delicious. But I can get steak anywhere, and should have ordered something I could only get there. Oh well. At least I have learned my lesson for next time. And will ask Paul about how big something is before I order it. *le sigh*
I finished off the day by hitting lvl 46 in WoW, which is exciting, because it means I am one more level closer to 60. Go me!
I couldn't sleep last night, I'm guessing because of the coffee and sugar I had when I got home (bad Caitlin, bad!), so I spaced on re-setting my alarm clock and didn't go to either of my classes this morning. Oh wells. Wednesday is my last day for both of those classes. Thursday is the last day of classes, period. Friday is Dead Day (which I will be taking advantage of to finally go see both the dentist and the optometrist). Next week is finals, and then.. FREEDOM! ..Well, at least until the Winter Semester starts. > |
