• 21st Birthday Extravaganza

  My birthday always seems to fall into the most inconvenient time of the year... finals week. Not only was everyone cramming for their next big test, but I was also on-duty last week (which meant I had to do rounds in the building and stay on campus the entire weekend.) I wasn't too bummed out... maybe just a little :) But I wasn't expecting much. Maybe just a quiet night with a movie or Blackwatch's super nintendo system. Little did I know.

     
  The girls on staff jumped out of a room while Will Kendall and I were doing rounds. I still didn't really know what was going on until they pulled a big t-shirt down over my head with an "It's my birthday" slogan painted on the front and back. A plastic crown and a pair of flip-flops were tossed in my direction. "Hurry up! We're leaving!"

  They took me to the Chattanooga Hotel where we sat in-front of the lobby fireplace and unpacked our birthday-in-a-box. They'd brought balloons to blow up, Welch's grape juice (since we're still on contract here and are not allowed alcoholic beverages), and a huge brownie birthday cake. After eating and goofing off in the lobby, we headed back to campus to bring our boss dinner and watch a movie in his apartment. Jonathan was confined to the couch while recovering from a medical procedure, so we brought the party to him :)  

   
  All things considered, I'm pretty sure this topped spending the night playing video games by myself.
