25 years...
happy belated b-day to me! =) too bad i spent much of my b-day cramming for an exam i just had, but it was still a very good day. for all you who remembered--thanks so much!!! =D you really made my day, esp since my last post. =) =D sad thing is, i wouldn't let myself open all my gifts until i *finished* my exam (which is the day AFTER my bday), so I still have two packages sitting in my room unopened!! can't wait to rip into them when i'm done with class today. =D we have this birthday policy in my class where the previous b-day person needs to buy a $30 gift for the next b-day person, and so on down the line. well, my person got me a bunch of 'junk' (sorry)--candles, plastic halloween goblets, and a plastic bucket. she claimed it was "halloween theme". i was like, hrm, how do i get rid of all this? =P at least it was wrapped nicely, tho it seemed like she grabbed whatever she could find out our local walgreens and at her home. oh well, i'll pamper the next bday people (which happens to be 2 ppl on nov 12!).
the other gifts i've opened so far are great! gift certificate to niketown (i desperately need new tennis shoes), and a disposable digital camera (i've been complaining about wanting to take pics but not having a camera), a phone card (awww), and YUMMMY homebaked goods and snacks! =D i also allowed myself to spend a couple hours yesterday playing badminton instead of studying. tomorrow i'm going to Boston (leaving at 4:30am, ack!) for a weekend team badminton competition, and i want to do well. i haven't competed in nearly two years, and the only good thing is that i'm over in the East Coast and nobody knows or expects anything from me. that said, i want to work up my rep too! our team "captain" thinks i'm not good "enuf" (told to me by my partner), and now i have a drive to beat the captain in mixed if and when we get to play! Grrrrr! hehe, i'm so competitive! =P and guess what? we beat him and his mixed partner BOTH TIMES yesterday during open gym! yeah!
today my classmates and i are going out for a belated b-day lunch in about an hour! i chose Pepe's Pizza--supposedly the best pizza in new haven, and waits are 2 hours long! hopefully we can beat the line as we have to be back in class in 2h. i highly doubt it will beat zachary's, or ciceros (ciceros is a better comparison, all new haven pizza is very very thin crust, almost like ur just eating cheese and toppings!). i guess i'll find out soon. i'm excited tho--this is my FIRST time eating out in a restaurant since I moved out here!
on a side note, i think i'm doing worse on exams. i haven't gotten the final scores back on the last two (this week was bad--we had double exams in a week), but i don't feel so good about them. kinda nerve-wracking. =(
well, back to lecture! lots to do today to prepare for my wknd trip to boston! i hope to see lotsa pretty autumn leaves (none really in new haven), so look for my update soon!
