Tanjoubi recap

I spent most of Saturday out and about, buying stuff for myself and for others. Back at the dorm, Chin, Baku, Frank, and Elaine sat me down to a drinking party; sake, vodka, and rum and coke all around. I knew I couldn't have too much though, since I had agreed to work a kids' Christmas party for the next day (before I realized that it was the day after my birthday). Wouldn't go too well with a hangover. They wouldn't let me get away with nothing though (such good friends). Frank said I was pretty good at drinking, but he was probably joking. That guy's a tank! But poor Baku turned bright red after only one drink. Later on, Chris, Chris and Adam joined in, then gradually wandered off again after about an hour or two. I finally turned in about 3, though my Chinese friends stayed up for a bit later.
Then it was up at 8. I'll have to save that story for later, since it's time for class again. But yes, my 21st birthday was nice and loud and of the rather drunken sort, as is befitting American tradition.
