Anyway, November 19 is actually a really important day. Larry King was born, Sweden, Iceland and Afghanistan joined the United Nations, it's international men's day and world toilet day, Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, and Bill Clinton's impeachment case began.
Not to mention it's your favorite blogger's birthday.
Yesterday was my sweet sixteen. Without a car, a license, or my family I didn't really know how the day would go. But yesterday 19 November 2014 was easily the best day of my entire life.
So all my friends had been saying things like "3 days left", "2 days left", "tomorrow". Then on the actual day... no one said anything. I'm not dumb, I knew something was going to happen. During breakfast some friends and I went out into the corridor. When we went back to the classroom one of them covered my eyes and started forcing me into the classroom. (I was so scared she was going to push me into something). When she let me see, the lights were out and the whole class and my friends from other classes were standing and singing. There was a circle of cupcakes and juice boxes with a candle. I made a wish and blew out the candle. I got some amazing gifts from my amazing friends and all was well.
Then I got home. I was just chilling in my lazy clothes. Nothing was going on. Then my friends came over and they picked out clothes for me and we took pictures and hung out and ate cake. But not just any cake... Rainbow cake. (FYI it tastes better than regular cake). I got more presents including a necklace with my name in Arabic (something I've wanted forever).
It was a day where I felt loved. And it feels really good to feel loved. It's one of those beautiful moments when all the exhaustion and confusion that comes with being an exchange student proves to be worth it. Because no matter what happens the rest of the year, no matter how tired and confused I am 99% of the time, these moments and these people are amazing and wonderful and just aaaah I can't even explain.
Thank you to everyone for everything. I'm so happy. :D
I love you all. Stay beautiful.
Byeeeeeee
