Birthday festivities

So today I am legal. No, I haven't bought any porn, cigarettes, lottery tickets, or infomercial stuff yet. I spent most of today studying for my 2 tests (Women's Studies and Calculus) and writing journal assignments for Jazz class (it's amazing how many paragraphs one can pull out of one's buttocks about 10 seconds of music). However, I did party today. The college brought in a DJ, moonbounce, giant inflatable slide and free food just for my birthday, and a lot of people skipped classes (I even got off work) to party with me.

Ok, maybe not.

Today was Lake Day, the annual day of Blue spirit celebration (no, we don't have a mascot. It's just "Go Blue!"). There was merriment and rejoicing all around. And fried dough (oh the goodness!). However, thanks to Ronnie, my First Year Mentor [FYM], half the campus knew it was my birthday. She posted it on a couple of boards, and I guess it spread. Either that or the frisbee team started with the stalking and they were just everywhere I went.

Also, in keeping with Matthew's revelation about his true academic passions, I had an epiphany 2 days ago. As I was sitting in Women's Studies class, discussing heterosexuality and hegemonic masculinity, I realized something. I want to be a Women's Studies major. I came in thinking I'll do Media Arts & Sciences, because it looks pretty cool and it's quite practical. But then I started thinking, and am I really going to love it and be passionate about it? I like art and I can do computer graphics/layouts well, but intensely for 4 years? Women's Studies is continuously blowing my mind, I want more. And I can go abroad with it, and it's just as great for business school (MBA in marketing, anyone?).
Basically, it has made me re-examine the past 4 years and almost every single friendship I have. It's wonderful, and I've had several revelations already.
