The big 2-8

Well, this past weekend, I rang in my 28th year. I was a bit apprehensive at first as 28 seems like it's a lot closer to 30 than 27! I was preparing for a wee crisis, but I realized (and to all of you out there who are +30, I'm sorry) that I am just thankful to still be in my twenties! However, I may need a huge party for my 30th birthday to avoid any potential crises. Helping me celebrate this year was William and a dear friend from Canada, Andrew. After a mediocre morning doing midterm grades, I was treated to some lovely ethiopian food and a comedy show. Ever since our favorite restaurant closed in the spring, we've been looking for a new ethiopian place. I was also presented with a lovely i-pod. Some of you may appreciate the irony of this as I don't even own a cellphone. I am still trying to figure out how to turn William's phone on when it rings! The new i-pod poses some challenges...can't figure out how all those buttons work either! :) This new gadget does save me from some awkward situations...I can listen to music instead of being bothered by crazies on the bus. :) For more tips on how to survive public transportation, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to.... :)
