Today is kind of a special day for me, because I turn 21 today. Besides 13 and 50, it is the number. The last couple days have been killer for me. Anticipation, nervousness, excitment, fear, all molded into one feeling. The one thing I think is funny on birthday's is that people you never ever talk to at all, wish a happy birthday on Facebook; that always gives me a good laugh. I also like getting texts throughout the day. It's just a reminder that people care, and it's good to feel cared for. Now, I'm sitting here eating some Popeyes, cuz my dad just came by my work w/ a card, and bag w/ 2 boxes of chicken and a box of biscuits. I've already had 2 drumsticks and a biscuit. It's hilariuos that I'm sitting in a lab w/ students doing their work and I'm eating Popeyes. Everytime I think about it being my birthday and turning 21, I have to stop myself from smiling. I got some nice gifts from the roomies last night. A bottle opener, silly bands, a phillies stop sign, and a phillies pennant. My roommate even spelled my name like Jessie on one of the cards...HILARIOUS. The best part about turning 21, is that you get an excuse to an excuse to act a lil' dumb. Not outrageous or immature, but a lil' dumb and spazzy. We are going to the bar 2nite, but the real party won't begin until Friday night, then it will continue to Saturday when the Phils beat the Mets' ass in NYC, and we party till we can't stand anymore. But I just want to say I could never have imagined all this love I'm getting today. Just flashing back to years back and thinking of memories; I've really made some amazing friends and bonds that will last forever. My family is unbelievable, and my friends are right beside them. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
