today

i'm sorry i didn't update yesterday! thank you to everyone who sent me birthday emails and cards and such and whatnot, i really enjoyed all of them :) saturday night at club was really, really fun. granted, i'm saying that despite the fact that i can't remember much of it - there was drinking. there was a drunk emma. but really, if ever there is a time to get drunk, i think one's twenty first birthday is it.

i got there around midnight, so it was officially the 20th, said hi to everyone i knew and checked my coat and gerard hooked me up with a free vodka cranberry. i danced and talked to people till spencer arrived, at which point we wandered around and talked to people and danced more. people kept buying me drinks because of my birthday, and i couldn't really object. eventually we got tired and i was having a little trouble remaining vertical, so we took a cab over to yaffa for breakfast, and eventually home. and a good time was had by all.

i slept very, very late sunday but actually escaped without much of a hangover; several people wanted me to go out for a birthday dinner and possibly movie, but i decided to take a raincheck on that till later this week because i was exhausted. so i ordered some italian food, watched some movies, talked to gabe and colin and my mom and dad and everyone. a lot of people mailed me who i hadn't spken to in a while, so that was really nice. i had a great day.

tomorrow morning i start classes at nyu again; i have two lectures with a couple of hours in between so i'm going to get lunch with mrtails i think. i'm a little nervous about being a student again - it's been so long. i hope i still remember how to write an academic essay, and take notes, and study for tests and whatnot. maybe that's not the kind of thing you forget. i guess we'll find out. but hey, i get to be the cool twenty one year old sophomore with her own apartment and really weird hair. so that can't be all bad.
