I'm an adult!

I am officially 18! My Birthday was Friday and I had the time of my life! To begin my day, I had Spanish. Sure I had a final, but I wasn't going to let that ruin my day! I was kind of stressing out about the Final, but then my Teacher must have sensed that it was my birthday and I really needed a good present! ;) So my Teacher said that we had the choice between going out in the hall and finishing the final by ourselves, or staying in the classroom and working with the whole class to finish and hopefully pass the final. I stayed and I was overjoyed! And I actually learned so much from the little review we all did!

After Spanish I had Orchestra. In there, our final was making and eating breakfast! We had muffins, pancakes, bacon, sausage, juice, milk and doughnuts! It was so much fun. Unfortunately, we couldn't leave the classroom because it was technically a final so, Taylor and I were stuck. We still had fun. A couple of days earlier, I had to make a PowerPoint presentation to earn some points for orchestra, so I presented that during class too. Next was Choir. Once again, we had a final. It wasn't too hard and I didn't worry too much about it. If you understand music, then you'll go far in a choir class. Usually after choir, I would have Government and Citizenship but today was a special day and we didn't have to go to Fourth period!

So instead, Megan Braithwaite, Steven Potter and I went to Snoasis to get Glaciers! (They're like snow cones with ice-cream in the bottom and whipped cream on top). I got a Strawberry Dacquire and it was delicious! After that I had to run to Kohlers to get some treats for my Birthday sleepover later that night! I met up with one of my fellow Laurels and she was so excited when she found out my birthday. She was really sweet about it!

Right after that, I went to pick up my Date for my Birthday Date! I was soooo excited. When I got to Stephen's house, he was worried about what kind of restaurant Tucanos was. He'd never been there and was unsure. Lol. I told him it was a party kind of place, but he still grabbed a collared shirt, which I warned him he might ruin. Anyway, we left and stopped by Costco to get gas! That was fun because we donated a dollar to help a children's hospital and received a water bottle for our charity! It was great!

We got to Tucanos alot earlier than Katrina, Ryan, Kamryn, Kelsey and Zac so we had to wait around a little, but that's not a bad thing. It was tons of fun! Finally they came and we were soon seated! Ryan wasn't there yet, but the rest of us were starving and I was excited to introduce Stephen to Tucanos. I couldn't believe he'd never been there before! It's such a fun place! And so delicious! I really stuff myself whenever I go! So so so Fun! And guess what, he dripped water on his shirt! Sure it didn't ruin it, but I did tell him that he would do something to it! Ha ha! ;)
After Tucanos, we went to Katrina and Ryan's Apartment and played Games. We played Taboo for awhile and lots of funny things happened. (I don't want to embarass anyone, say Stephen, so I'll just leave it at that). After Taboo we played this arm slapping game. That was fun too. Then we played Signs. I love signs. It's hilarious! Everyone shows their true colors in that game! Ha ha! After signs, Stephen and I had to go because I had to get to my sleepover. But before the sleepover, Stephen and I headed over to this new Frozen Yogurt place called Red Mango. I had tried it the night before and overall liked it, so I wanted Stephen to try it! I think he liked it well enough! He finished mine when I couldn't! Ha ha! Then I took Stephen home. Unfortunately I am physically incapable of just saying goodbye to Stephen, I spent another half hour talking to him! Lol. Everytime! Not that it's a bad thing....but I was late for my own party!
I finally made it to my house after i went and picked up my Friend Tabby. When I got there, there were three girls waiting for me. We sat and talked for a long time before the rest of the girls came over. When we finished talking, we watched two episodes of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. It's the funniest show ever! After that, we had Pie and sang happy birthday too me! I blew out all but two candles. (I've already decided who they are). Then I opened all these awesome presents. But the coolest present was my graduation/birthday present from my parents. Drumroll............A LAPTOP! Which I'm using right now! Yay! I was so happy! It's so High tech and I feel so old when i use it! Yay me!
After presents, we started playing the foot game! It's an awesome game and (not to Brag) I'm really good at it! Stephen came over around that time and played with all us girls. Usually, he's one of the first ones out, but this time... He Won! I was Shocked! And against me! Urgh! Next time...he's going down! Ha ha!
The rest of the night was really fun! I had so much fun! I was really happy and I just couldn't stop smiling! This was definitely a Birthday to remember!
