First I will give you a quick rundown on what happened:
I got up and realized I was turning 20 today. It was a weird thought. I'm not a teen anymore.
I went to class.
I took shower.
Nick came.
He brought cake and present (see below).
I opened present.
We ate slice of cake.
It was too early for dinner. We contemplated action.
We went to Rogers.
We were then hungry.
We went to Chili's.
I got free dessert.
We were full.
We went to Borders.
I bought book.
We came back to Siloam. I slept during drive.
We watched anime.
We ate more cake.
We watched more anime.
Time was up, Nick left.
I wrote blog.
Ok so that is pretty much the basic agenda of what happened today. I know it might not sound very interesting, but I got several phone calls, texts, facebook messages wishing me a happy birthday. Everyone of those made me happy. What made me happiest was just getting to spend the day with Nick and knowing that on the side people were thinking of me. =) I had a wonderful birthday! Even though Nick's sweet picnic plans were messed up by the weather (except it never rained like it was supposed to) and he wasn't able to buy a spring dress to give to me. And the present he wanted to give me didn't come in time for my birthday, and Walmart wasn't selling Pocahontas. It was still the most wonderful day and I hope he doesn't think I was disappointed. I had a wonderful day!
As for the present from Nick, I got some ferrero rocher chocolate (which I love) and a tiara (it is slowly become a tradition for Nick to give me a tiara for my birthday so I can be a princess for a day). But here is the thing. The one he got me isn't the one he wanted to give me. It is a very pretty one that he bought locally, but he ordered one that is as he said real silver! =D It is such a lovely present and I can't wait to see it and have him put it on me. ^_^
Oh! And my mom sent me some lovely chocolate and fruit bars that I like so much =)
And how do I feel about being 20? Well happy, sad, excited, nervous...
I am happy because I am no longer a teen. Teens are usually stereotyped as immature. Although I have been past the general immature teen stage for a bit, now that I am officially out of it, I feel like I am really becoming an adult. So I have been legal for 2 years, what does that really mean anyway?
I am sad because, well, I have been a "teen" for 7 years of my life. It is strange and sad to be leaving a decade (I know, I know a decade isn't 7 years. You know what I mean) I have been in for so long. It is a really weird feeling. It wasn't such a big deal and I didn't feel any different on birthdays for a long time. I never felt the change. There was always that "teen" thing in my title. But no more! So it is a little bit sad.
I am excited to be 20 because I feel like I can really look to the future. It doesn't seem so far away now. But along with that..I'm so scared!!!!!! I have a general plan for the next 2 years... graduate, get married. After that I really don't have a plan! I hate not having a plan!!!!! *MUST HAVE OUTLINE!!!!!!!!!* -sigh- ok. Yes I am freaking out a little bit. 20 is scary because I know that with my 20s comes a whole new life (beyond college). And I don't know what to expect in this new life that is ahead. I guess I will just have to shut my eyes, hope for the best, and jump. But I know with my whole heart that if I jump, God will make sure that it is a wild, wonderful flight. There may be some turbulence, but when things are still, and I am free falling, I know I will have a great view. =)
As quoted from my big brother, "let the good times roll!"
