F.W.

So I'm really tired and not feeling like I can come up with anything super witty, so I thought I would just write about how amazing this week is going to be. First of all, as of Monday, when we turned in our papers and I finished my presentation, I am done with major school things for the next week and a half. All of my midterms are over, all of my papers are turned in, all of my group projects have been done...school-wise I can just relax and catch up on all the reading I putt off while I was stressing out about school. I am definitely really excited about that. Plus I have the whole week off of work. I coach gymnastics and our session ended last week, so we have a week off, which is really nice. Then...Thursday is a special day. It's February 28 and my birthday is August 28, so Thursday is my half birthday! People always look at me like I'm insane when I say this, but in my family we celebrate half birthdays. It's not anything too big; just a present or two and you get to pick what you want for dinner. My parents say it was a good way to break up the year when you have little kids, because time goes so much slower when you're little then and your birthday always seems so far away. A half birthday is nice, because it's another day celebrating you! So even though I'm all grown up, I still celebrate my half birthday. My mom is sending me a present, my brother is taking me out to lunch, and my best friend is making me a cake. And on top of all of those good things, I'm going to Maryland this weekend. My older sister had a baby, my first niece! We get to go for the baby blessing and I am so excited. All of the pictures I've seen of her are adorable and I just love babies anyway. Plus I'll get to see my sister, my brother in law, and my parents and little sister. Best week ever!
