feels great to be done with my summer classes! I know our grades won't be posted for a while--but I really hope my professor goes back to see what I submitted. I have a feeling I have to remind him.
i didn't do much in celebrating my bday yesterday. the night before some of the girls got into town too late so my dinner plans with the other bday girls got scratched since they couldn't do a late dinner. i ended up meeting with the other girls....we had a nice time, a shot or two....but they were so tired after the long drive, food, and the killer shots that they just ended up going to another friends' house and KOed. At least they took some time out to stop by and celebrate a bit with me since I knew they have a busy weekend. i had planned to hopefully grill at the house yesterday but my brother told me late the night before that we didn't have the grill anymore. So again, that got botched. So I ended up spending the day by myself...went to the stores...didn't really shop considering that I'd be going out to Philly anyway. It was a chill day--I kind of needed that. My brother ended up texting that we'd grill at a friends house instead so we ended up going there. Burgers, brats, steak, watermelon.... beer and shots all around. Surprisingly I didn't get wasted. LOL My brother actually kept telling ppl to give me more alcohol bc I was the bday girl and I was still not trashed. Gee, thanks bro.
The best gift last night....we had a lot of heavy and deep conversations last night with various friends--catching up with their families and whatnot. I know my bro luvs me and has my back but last night I really got to see and hear that he truly does have my back. I told him about an incident (or several) btwn someone and myself. this someone is rather close to my bro so I never bothered to tell him bc I didn't want to upset him nor cause conflict or tension. But bc we were on the topic, I mentioned it to him and he was rather surprised. At one point he had explanation but he basically said, "you're my sister and I luv you. What so-and-so did was wrong. Don't take it to heart and don't ever think that I think that way about you too. Unless you hear otherwise from me, never think that about yourself and never take what others say to heart. They don't know what they are talking about. OK?" That was good to hear. I luv my brother. He may be the youngest (well, younger bro...) but he surely is man of the house and takes care of everyone. Sometimes I feel bad bc though I may be older....due to cultural constraints, he will always be the man in charge and the one with all the responsibility . Though I'm not half of what he is...I always try to help him (so he doesn't carry the burden alone).
