I got my results back for my first essay…I got a distinction! I can’t even explain how happy I am, I was just praying for a pass 
It was an argumentative essay about economics (something I knew absolutely nothing about until a few weeks ago) and I was worried about my ability to pick a side and stick with it, so this was a fantastic surprise. I just need to work on using words like ‘can’t’ and it’s’ and I need to figure our in-text referencing.
In other news, next week I turn 25. Quarter of a century people! While i’m excited, I’m more looking forward to 26…I feel like something good is going to happen at 26.
Since the bf is now away all during the week and all my friends live too far away I will be spending my birthday alone. I don’t mind being alone but I still want it to feel like a birthday So, I need to think of what I can do.
If you had your birthday alone and could do anything you wanted, what would you do?

Take myself out to my favorite restaurant, or one that looked good that I’ve never tried. Buy myself something, even if it’s something small, so I have a present. And make sure I have some cake. That’s what I would do.
Kris
I like the idea of buying myself a present (of course) and I agree, cake is a must
Skye
And congrats on your most excellent distinction!
Kris
Thanks

I would go take myself out for a lavish meal or a movie i want to see. Also, distinction, bravo!! You of course completed it with aplomb and brilliance..we know you!
Kris
Lavish food sounds good. And thanks, it’s nice to know that even if I don’t have confidence in my abilities, at least the betties do

Congrats on the distinction and happy birthday. Dumplin for strawberry cake. Home with a good movie, book. Good beer and popcorn. I am just so exciting – not.
Kris
Thanks Judy. I like the idea of a good movie and while I’m not a beer drinker there should probably be some form of celebratory alcohol

Congratulations on the distinction! Of course, we knew all along that you’d do well.
For my birthday (belated) I’m buying myself a tattoo. But, y’know, a nice dinner or show would probably be good, too.

Congratulations! No idea what “distinction” means, but it’s obviously a great thing.
If I could do ANY thing I wanted on my birthday? I’d have a beach day in Hawaii. With catered food. And cakes. Yes, plural. Surfing, and cakeS.

Also, Happy (early) Birthday.
