Half Birthday

Today is my half birthday. I am officially 21.5 years old. In 6 months, I will be 22 and finally mature. :D

This is the invitation that I sent out to my friends the night before:

I am throwing a surprise half-birthday celebration for myself. I am officially 21.5 years old today...yay.

Please pay your respects to the senior study abroad student by coming to my surprise party.

Where is it? 5th floor lounge in Karklu. What time? 8 pm.

Bring a bowl, spoon, and anything else you think might be useful. I am poor, so either bring something to share or some LTS to help pay for beer, cake, and ice-cream. Just kidding, no beer. Hit "reply" to let me know if you are coming. This is an open invitation, so please bring anybody who might have heard of me.

If you have any questions, email Becca Close. She doesn't know about this, so make the questions short. Wow, it's 4:30 am and I'm still up. I'm an oldie now, I shouldn't be up. Nothing good ever happens after 1. Not sure why I'm even planning my own surprise party....huh.

Good night friends. Hope to see you all here.

Between 20-30 people showed up. It was really fun and now there are talks of quite a few half birthday parties coming up. I received a very nice baby cactus from some Ukrainian friends and a framed drawing of me from my neighbors.
