Birthday reflections

I am 23! Really psyched, I think this is going to be a good one (partly because it will be completely consumed by LISPA, traveling in Europe, and other wonderful young adult-y things). My classmates and housemates were really amazing: yesterday Jill and Kate made me a tea party with, well, tea, and about half a dozen different types of little sandwiches, and scones, and fairy cakes (cupcakes to us yanks), and the lovely company of about ten of my classmates. It was really the most perfect birthday party I could have imagined, and today I got given lots of hugs and chocolate and good wishes, and even a cake, to my complete surprise! I guess you know it's your birthday when fully half of your lunch consists of chocolate cake. So it's been a really wonderful birthday, and it feels like a good send-off into the next year.

And my birthday gift to you all... photos! As always, let me know if this link doesn't work. :)

Hey Joannie,

Happy Birthday! I'm glad you got to celebrate it in such Brit fashion (tea and all that...) Recently read a "rave" article in the Inquirer about the London Central Youth Hostel...apparently nowadays a lot of hostels even have bars (drinks, not ballet) and wireless Internet. I look forward to when we can check it out.
Love and good luck with the larval stages and harikari (?),
