Well, I was lucky enough to have one of my best birthdays ever yesterday, even though I don’t turn 19 until tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon my three grandparents and one of my uncle were all in the same house for the first time in years; I got to see them all at once at home. It was great talking to them all at once and getting to see everyone again. I felt like it was easier to talk to them when there was a group there instead of just one or two people.
And of course, I got some really great presents, and some really great cake and ice cream. I received PHP 4 Bible, a very nice custom-embroidered University of Maine blue polo shirt, a color reprint of my favorite newspaper photograph ever, SimGolf, a headlight/taillight combo for my bike, a Borders gift card, and some cards and money. Not to mention, of course, the iMac I’ll be receiving soon. 🙂
Above all, it was great to go home, see my parents, Jemma, and my relatives, and just relax for a weekend. I didn’t even have any homework, so it was a great experience.
