One More Birthday Surprise

Because we had a bench memo due in criminal procedure this week, we have had classes canceled for the past two weeks--totally not complaining.  However, because I didn't have crim pro, I didn't see my friend, Claire.

I've mentioned Claire before, but let me take a moment to say that she is a pretty kick butt kind of girl.  Probably one of the nicest people I have ever, ever met.  Always thinking of other people.  Never a selfish moment with her.  AND she has a bow and she and I go shoot together, and its pretty unusual to find another girl who is into it.  From time to time, Andy has found a girlfriend of a friend of his, but, in general (and don't repeat this because its mean of me to say) girls who shoot are either (1) butch, or (2) old.  I have a very hard time finding a normal girl (like, a girl who is still into girly things--I like shopping and nail polish and hair bows very much) who is not super duper old and married with children (eww) to shoot with.  And Claire fits the bill perfectly.  Except for the unfortunate detail that she lives in WV and I do not (or, I will not for very much longer).

Anyway, because of no crim pro, we hadn't seen each other hardly at all since before my birthday and, when I came into class today, she had brought this stuff for me...

Yummm, don't they look delicious?  What is it about cupcakes that makes them taste so much more delicious than their solid cake counterparts?  I don't know, but its totally true.  And these were cupcake heaven.

She even used spring M&Ms to put my initials on two of the cupcakes.  Pink and green are my two primary favorite colors.  Isn't that sweet?

She also got me these pretty flowers.  Unfortunately for the flowers, I don't have a green thumb, so they may die, but I am going to do myself to make sure that they don't.

It was so sweet of her to think of me--and it totally made my day.  I thought my birthday was over, but it was really, really nice to have this unexpected surprise today! 

Right now, I'm in my last class of the day.  Tomorrow, I have to go to the graduation fair at 11 (to buy graduation announcements so I can solicit kindly donations from all my friends and family members) and then I am on my way home.  Today, during my break between my morning and afternoon classes, I was able to pack up my car and really get ready to get a move on.  There's not very much at all standing between me and Spring Break.

Is it normal to have days where it causes physical pain to be away from someone?  Some days, when I'm really busy, it's not so hard to be here on my own...but lately, all this anticipating spring break has made me miss Andy like crazy and ache to be back with him again.  Thank goodness I don't have to wait much longer--I can't take much more of this! 

Also, congrats to my school for making it into the list of the top 100 law schools in the country--once again!  Yay for resume-boosting facts!
