Ok so this last week has seen my first birthday away from everyone i know and it was a heck of a weekend. Dont get me wrong it totally sucked to not see all my friends on my birthday and that was accentuated by the 50+ fb birthday wall posts that all of you sent thank you so much they basically made my day to read all the comments left wishing me a happy birthday.
The week started same as always with long classes and interesting discussions that sent the week spinning by way too fast to the point that the whole thing seemed like a blur. it was interesting to say the least, going to discussions in class and SI and then having similarly meaningful discussions with people that i know here. this week seemed to be full of complicated thought and soul searching which just managed to show me that i have more fun living in the moment lol as if we didnt already know that.
So the thing we want to know about is the weekend! well for my birthday weekend it just so happened that there was someone (a friend of a friend) who had their 21st on the 22nd of the month! so we hijacked it lol. this person (Shireen) a friend of Crystals invited me down to go to her 21st due to the fact that it would continue on to mine!
So Crystal being the awesome person she is drove me down with her on friday afternoon and back up on sunday night it was great here is the list of what we did that weekend:
Friday afternoon: we arrived in salt lake after an amazing drive down with some beautiful views (and company) and got to Crystal's childhood home to meet her sister Amber and get to know her. as the afternoon progressed i met a guy named Rick and we went to hang out with some other old friends named Ian and Russell. it was excellent went to a bar and finally had some drinks with the boys while listening to some great live music by "the American Hit men". We got back to Crystal's around 1130pm (she was out at a slumber party) and had a 5 hour discussion with Rick, Amber and her bf Skyler about religion, politics, business and television was truly brilliant.
Saturday:
Most of saturday was spent at the house with Amber waiting for Crystal to get back from the slumber party. it was great to make some friends and chill out without anything that i had to do. Then the night came around and we where off to Keys on Main (eventually) this is a piano bar in salt lake city, for those who dont know its basically a standard bar with 2 pianos on stage where people pay for certain songs and get drunk while doing so. buying drinks for people was fun and celebrating both mine and Shireen's birthday was excellent. i got all i wanted for my birthday and so had an excellent one.
Sunday: My actual Birthday!!! spent the whole day in bed until 2pm and i was more comfortable than i have been in a long time. managed to stay nice and warm despite outside and finally caught up on all the sleep ive missed over the past few weeks. it was all great and once we got up showered and packed Crystal and i said goodbye to Amber and finally got home! i was so grateful for the weekend i bought my roommates and i some pizza and we hung out swapping stories. it was a great weekend thanks to great people, great scenery and amazing venues!
Thats it for now ill keep you up to date on the rest
