My Birthday!

Today I turned 23 years old and I don´t really know what to think about it. It is not a bad age to be but I mean there is nothing special about being 23. Most of all, it reminds me that I am getting farther and farther out of college and it is becoming less and less socially acceptable for me to do the same things that I did then, damn. Oh well, it´s important to stay young/stupid at heart.

It is actually pretty cool because this is the second time I´ve had my birthday outside the U.S. and in two different countries. It´s fun but at the same time I miss being with family and friends back home. However, today should be a good day all the same.

I got my birthday started off properly last night with a shot of tequila at Midnight. I don´t know why I chose tequila, I actually really don´t like it all, but after a couple drinks with Jan, it seemed like an OK idea. After the tequila we each had a couple more drinks and I was a little worried about how I would fare at work today until Jan told me I shouldn´t come into the office until noon. It´s kinda nice drinking with your boss.

Also, I talked myself into buying a cake for after lunch today. I don´t know exactly how it happened but I´m buying my own birthday cake and we´re having a little party over the lunch hour. Later tonight I think we´re going out for dinner at an Italian restaurant in Liberia and then we´ll probably go out again after that. All in all, not a bad way to celebrate being one year older.
