Birthdays, Handprints, Vists, Etc.

Where did this week go? It seems like just yesterday it was Monday and I was working hard to get as much homework done as possible. Monday was a pretty fun day. It was Lindsay’s 20th birthday (another fellow Riponite that now attends PCC). At first Lindsay seemed a little hesitant and sad that she wasn’t at home with her family for her birthday, but the entire PCC campus tried to make it the best birthday she’s ever had. During the day, I got a package from home and was pretty excited about it. I knew that I was getting it because I asked my mom to send me a few things, but when I opened the package the giraffe print purse that I have wanted since June was lying in the box. I screeched when I saw it.
Later that night we had a dorm party. Every month each dorm gets a set amount of money and we do something fun with it. The first dorm party for Hesed Hall is always putting handprints on the wall next to the room we live in for the year. Bethy, my RA, and I planned to do something for Lindsay’s birthday. Bethy e-mailed all the girls in our hall and had each person make her a card. Then our RD, Jenn, made 20 cupcakes. Right after we took our group picture we turned off the lit the candles, turned off the lights, and all sang happy birthday to her. She was so surprised.

Now it’s Saturday and Meg and Kels have been here for about 2 days. It’s so incredibly awesome to see them again…after 5 super long months of not being able to sit down and talk with them face to face. I just love having them here. I feel like I am back in my comfort zone and I am loving every minute of it. Yesterday the 5 of us girls went out to lunch with Pat. It was fun to sit and laugh and have it be like old times.
This weekend is pretty filled with homework, hanging out with Kels and Meg, church, and work. AND then on Monday I have a 4W and we are going to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. I am pretty excited to see some giraffes and other fun animals.
