So, thanks to everyone for a great birthday! I got not only one, but two cakes! Members of the hall put what appeared to be their blood, sweat, tears and maybe other substances into a lovely double chocolate cake that was presented to me a little after midnight. I then slept for a few hours, and was woken up by a few friends from home calling to wish me a happy birthday. Needless to say, I was not cranky that they had called.

Although some people thought it was weird apparently, I still went into lab to work, and got my paper work nailed down for my work at the Media Lab. I made serious headway on both projects, which was pretty exciting. During lunch time, I met up with guys from hall and went to Quiznos. It was a freaking gorgeous day out, there was some sort of festival going on, and they started playing “Don’t Stop Believin’”. Heck yeah! Not only did I have great company, I had beautiful music and weather. That was awesome. I also had ice cream. Way to smack all the things I really like into the span of about 1.5 hours.

I stayed in lab until around 7pm or so, but when I came back I hung around with people on hall. Later, around 10:30pm, Katie brought me an amazing cake that had taken her hours to make. It was a chocolate cake with 3 layers, with cherries mixed in with the batter. The frosting was delicious, to top it all off. The cake was so rich, I couldn’t eat much, but am definitely saving some for later. Pretty much just hung around hall after that, and watched some more Ghost in the Shell. Berserk is getting even more crazy, but I wouldn’t have expected anything less.
