Day 51

March 10th.

Its my birthday today. I must say it was a pretty good birthday in hindsight. I don't really know how I did on the two tests, but the important thing is that they are done. I also finished my grant. So I don't really know what to do with all my time now that all those things are out of the way. The day started off last night after Midnight when JP gave him his present of Monopoly: US Marines, in arabic. Its a pretty crazy looking game and I look forward to playing it. My roommate got me the Alchemist, which apparently is one of those books which everyone should read.
In my Arabic class, after the test, the class sang me happy birthday (in arabic) and they made me a doughnut "cake." It was pretty sweet, complete with a blue crayon candle.
I think one of my favorite parts of my birthday was having Holly wish me happy birthday every time she talked to me. It was pretty funny.
We celebrated my birthday at the Grand Hyatt in the revolving restaurant. This place was the definition of ritzy. They had people playing baby grand piano's in the lobby and in the lounge. There were about 12 of us total who went to the Restaurant. Let just say the price range made it so we didn't order actual food. I did however get a "Zombie" drink. I asked if they wanted to see my I.D., they didn't. I was kind of disappointed by this. I guess I won't really realize the positives of this age until I get back into the states. I think there are a bunch of things I can do now. I am not quite sure what, but I think I am fully an adult now. I probably should start acting like one. However, I do know that the 21st birthday, means just 4 more years until the big 25. Then I get to run for Congress. Pretty pumped about that.
