I had a wonderful day.  I went to only two classes (I only HAVE two classes on Monday, but, still, that's cool) and when I got back from the second class, I had a cake and balloons waiting for me at my door.  My mother had sent me a gift cake that Xavier offers as a surprise for students.  I knew about it beforehand, but, it was still cool.  Later in the day, my wing had Chinese in our lounge and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me.  I felt all loved and stuff.  Twas a good day. :)
