Birthday Weekend :)

Yes, I turned seventeen yesterday! My weekend was a lovely one, very unique and something that could only have happened at AC.

On Saturday during the day I went to Cardiff with Anne-Sofie where we had Subway (really craving them!) and watched Midnight in Paris. It was really nice to spend some time just sitting in the movies not having to think too much about anything.

That night… well the night before your birthday is quite something. I think it ended up  being even worse because it was a Saturday so many people were in the house and had time to prepare. Coming back from Gay Pride Sosh – I worse rainbow socks! - I was asked by Dmitry, a second year in my house if I was allergic to marmite or black pepper… oh why?

I then quickly changed into some clothes that I wasn’t too worried about ruining and went back downstairs where friends from Morgannwg and other houses were waiting. Two guys picked me up and brought me into the guys showering room where buckets of water were thrown on me with various things mixed in…however I didn’t smell terribly because of the amount of shaving cream that was then sprayed on me. This all sounds really disgusting but it’s quite a funny tradition. Afterwards hugging everyone while I was gross was quite funny.

I then went back into the dark dayroom where my roommates had spent the night making (DELICIOUS) chocolate cake and everyone sang me happy birthday.  It was really special.

For my actual birthday I woke up to Anne-Sofie and Proma making me pancakes. I’ve commented a few times on how much I’d been craving some really-American food: pancakes! They were so yummy, we even had a few with bananas.

The rest of the day I did bits of homework and pottered around, lots of phone calls also which was nice J I went to the Italian restaurant with 11 close friends for dinner and then went back to school to watch the Nordic National Evening.

All in all it was a perfect seventeenth birthday weekend.

Four more days of Codes and then half term!
