Everyone knows that I love my Birthday and I tend to
celebrate it for an extended amount of time. With deepest sincerity, I would like to thank everyone for making my first West Coast
birthday extra special.
I loved I was able to Skype with my parents and
sisters. My parents looked up my birth
time and told me that I looked Asian due to a lot of jet black hair when
I was born. This hair turned bleach blonde
soon after and I looked bald for awhile.
My sisters stayed up until 11:00PM EST to do a group Skype and made me
laugh, per usual.
At Help of Ojai we have restarted a fantastic tradition of
funky pants Friday. My parents and a
coworker have contributed to my funky pants collection, making it much easier
to not have to save my one pair of funky pants for Friday.
My community members were real troopers. They endured the excitement of my birthday
and the not so excitement as well. We
went out for pizza with our Augustinian Ventura supervisors (is that the correct name for them??), whom we meet with
every Friday. As a community, we watched the first Harry
Potter movie with Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans and Chocolate Fizzing
Wizzbees from my sister. The next night
they didn't kill me after I said, "We can cancel the party, I'm cold and
tired," after waking up from a nap before the party. I also claimed I didn't have a thing to wear. My community members also arranged a surprise
for San Diego to come up. It made me so
happy to see them and incredibly grateful for my community.
On Sunday, we watched movies all day. I started with San Diego and my community, but met a coworker to watch the movie Taxi in Ojai. Taxi is about a "cab" driver in Iran and I recommend it to most people for a glimpse of another culture.
Cheers to 27 and thank you for all your love!
