This week was a lot, full of ups and downs, fun and difficulties, but I’d rather just talk about the fun.
It was my birthday week! It’s the first time ever that I’ve had my birthday fall on a school day – that feels like a weird thing to be happy about, but as a little kid I felt like I was missing out on that experience since I had a summer birthday (first world problems, I know).
My friends and I got together on Monday to celebrate with a big game night! we played Cards Against Humanity, Jackbox, For The Queen, and a game some of us made for a game design class last term called Cause of Death. It’s sort of a combination of Candyland and Sorry with some Monopoly-style collection mechanics and length of play. I kinda want tot make it a real board game one day – is publish the right word? Do you publish board games? I think so. But word confusion aside, we had pizza and my friends made me cake pops!!!! They were so cute!!! I love my friends and they make me feel so loved.
The rest of the week was pretty much normal, just prepping for finals as the term starts to wrap up. My friend Ryan and I filmed a reference for our animation class final, which I’ll share when it’s done! I just have to finish it. Also shoutout to this guy who was in front of me at Chick-fil-A wearing Crocs strapped into larger Crocs.
On Thursday, my dad picked me up for a weekend trip to my grandparents. I’ll talk about that in next week’s recap post! Or maybe I’ll give it its own? I’m not sure.
