And the 8 steps to a successful birthday.
1
Monday
night, two of the girls from my former flat came over with a birthday present;
chocolate chip cookies and crunchie rocks. These served as my amazing birthday
breakfast Tuesday 12.2.13. What was that? Unhealthy, you say? Birthday only once a year,
I say.

At the end
of lunch break, studio one (where we were for a combat lesson) was suddenly
overflowing with some wordlies coming to wish me happy birthday. For a few
minutes, it was full chaos of arms, laughs and loud voices.

Amidst it
all, a guy in my class came over to me and pushed a big bucket of
wonderful-sweet-stuff-I-don’t-know-what-is into my hands with a card. “Happy
birthday,” he said, the whole thing much to the surprise of the rest of the
class – and me. Not because he congratulated me, but because I wasn’t expecting
anything and even less from him. It was a pleasant, shocking surprise.

combats have their birthday song sung spontaneously to them in the armory.

When I came
home, a bar of chocolate lay waiting as the cutest, most wonderful surprise
outside my room door.

Toria gave
me a plastic bag full of presents. –Not just one present, but four.

Albeit
school ended at eight thirty and it’s school as normal the day after, the girls
from my former flat (my true flat) and I went to Burger King for food and then
Townhouse for a small drink. The guy behind the counter overheard us talking,
and whilst I tried to convince Toria not to buy me a drink, he planted a shot
of something pink in front of me. I know free drinks are nothing unusual for
birthday-people in pubs, but as the counter-guy did it of his own accord
without us asking for it, it was quite the cool surprise.
After that
the girls bought me another shot and a drink – without my consent, but in the
end I wasn’t given much of a choice.

We were
joined in Townhouse by a friend of ours, whom also delivered a present to me
from one of the guys in my class (since they’re in the same flat, but he was
doing homework).
