Today was our beloved Xadi's 21st birthday. Since we've all been legal here for nearly two months, and we have 9am class tomorrow, we went for a nontraditional celebration of this milestone: ice cream cake (creme brulee vanilla carmel). Addie, Val and Debbie went to their internship for the day, and came back to school to do homework; Angeline joined them after her own internship. It was my job to purchase the cake and bring it in. I walked really fast because I live 20 ish minutes away and I didn't want the cake to melt. I got to the BC and went to collect Angeline. I was going to lead Addie into a pleasantly decorated room by saying Debbie wanted to discuss a project idea with her, but Angeline beat me to it by saying "The Germans are coming" Um yeah...
Anyway, when we were all settled in our favorite classroom, I said, "Xadi, am naa laj" She said "Nam?" I said, "C'est ton anniversaire?" and pulled out the cake as everyone started awkwardly singing Joyeux Anniversaire. It was beautiful and a fun surprise. We all decided we need to pick random celebrity personas and celebrate their birthdays because birthdays are just so fun.
