23rd Birthday!

First of all, I’d like to send out a big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday in the past day or so, whether it was by email, facebook, messenger, phone, snail mail or in person! You’re all awesome, and I’m lucky to have you all as friends and family!
Today was a very good day. When it comes to work I got so little done though, but those days are bound to happen now and then. 😉 Shortly after I got into Walker I found out that there was an EMS Grad Student reception over in the EMS Library in Deike, so I chowed down on some free doughtnuts and muffins and whatnot. Then not long after that Daniel came down to my office and was like, “You need to come down to 402 right away. Okay, so maybe not right away, but it’s boring down there, come visit.” So I get down there, and most of the other grad students are waiting in there for me, and start singing me Happy Birthday. And then they gave me an awesome card signed by everyone and the coolest cake ever! The frosting was a weather map, of a low pressure system over the Carolinas, with the attendant cold & warm fronts and an isobar pattern, it was sweet! I was stuffed from having sweets all morning, but right after that it was time for lunch at the Golden Wok with Daniel, Frame, Jacob & Gall, which was quite tasty. About the most productive thing I did with regards to uni/work was go to Grad Synoptic and pick up an assignment that’s due in a week. I duly informed Marko that that was not a very kind birthday present, haha. After awhile of sitting unproductively in front of my computer at work, I decided it was best to slack at home for a short while before our final flag football practice preceding next week’s IM season opener. After practice a bunch of us headed down to the Darkhorse for awhile. I wasn’t planning on being there for more than a couple hours, but before I knew it two turned into four pretty quickly. 🙂 Thanks again for a great day and evening everyone!
