Story time!!

This is the story of a girl who had a birthday.

The girl was awoken at seven in the morning by a phone call from her best friend in the whole world, and despite the early hour, she did not say anything rude. She instead rolled over in her bed and mumbled a few things into the phone before falling back asleep. When her alarm went off half an hour later, she pressed snooze so many times she lost count.

Her mother called her next. Although she was disappointed that she was not the first to wish the birthday girl well on her birthday, her mother said wonderfully sweet things to her. After speaking with her mother for a while, she finally dragged herself out of her bed.

She walked across the room and grabbed her computer, which she promptly took to her bed and crawled back under the covers. It was cold on this morning, you see.

She has emails from people all over the word, wishing her well on her birthday. Every one was like getting a gigantic hug.

She dutifully went to class (Both of them actually) and learned much, spanning from Foreign Policy to Cosmology. (She found that foreign policy was much easier to understand. And probably more easily executed!)

After classes, she went home and took a nap. It was a good nap in her warm bed. She was awoken by a knock on the door from a friend to come and give her a hug for her birthday! What a surprise!

Much later that day, her roommate barged into her room and said "LET'S EAT CAKE!" and so the candles were lit and the cake cut and enjoyed. After that, they left for a dessert of indian food, the birthday girl's favorite food.

The girl went home that night and went to sleep... visions of friends, family, and a total of thirty-one email and facebook messages she received dancing in her head.
