So yesterday I turned 22 and thankfully the whole affair was pretty low-key. I went to school and everyone said happy birthday to me then I hung out with the German guys for a while and tried to study, though Jo and I pretty much just ended up playing games against each other on Sporcle.
I then headed home and took a much needed nap. I woke up yesterday feeling a little sick and it had gotten progressively worse through the day. I knew we were going to be drinking that night so I wanted to rest up.
After my nap, I packed and then headed down to the kitchen where the Frenchies were waiting. The German girls came soon after and the guys joined us an hour later after they got back from soccer. We didn't end up going out but honestly I was happy about that. I just really wanted to be around everyone especially since I'm leaving in a mere four weeks.
The best part of the night was definitely my cake surprise. Every time someone from the crew has had a birthday we've made a cake for them. However, Birte brought cookies she had made and the Frenchies brought candy so I figured they hadn't done a cake for me. No big deal, I was happy just to have them around.
However, around 10pm Sophia and Birte disappeared for a bit and then Sophia came back and stuck her head in the door and started singing. Ah I was so surprised! The cake was absolutely adorable too, a panda cake!
Although in this picture it looks like a pig
Anyway I was just touched that had put all of it together for me and that everyone had celebrated my birthday with me on Tuesday even though they has class the next day. I truly have the best friends here.
PS. All last night we drank beer that we had left over from Flensburg that has been piled up in Nils room. His room literally looks like a liquor store, it's awesome.
