The Big 1-8

This weekend was probably one of the best weekends of my entire life…my 18^th birthday was on Saturday, but I started to celebrate on Friday. I usually do something special everyday of the week leading up to the day of my birthday, but I was at State for most of the week. Even though we were only at State for a short time, it was full of many memories. I had planned being in Richfield for my birthday so nothing was really planned out. Because there was no set plan things were just spontaneous. After school on Friday I went to eat at Zupas, one of my favorite places to eat, with Maria, Marivel, JJ, and Des.

At around seven o’clock something pretty awesome happened. I got this call from an unknown number…it was someone from the admissions board of UC at San Diego. I received the best news, I GOT ACCEPTED TO UCSD! I love San Diego so much and I was so happy that I got accepted! San Diego is the best place to be, I probably won’t attend UCSD because the U also has a great chemistry program. But the fact that I got accepted is just amazing. On Saturday Maria had planned a surprise birthday breakfast that I had no idea about. We went shopping and had a crazy experience with a hairdresser. I went to get a haircut and she totally messed up my hair. It was a good thing I told her I only wanted two inches off. In such a hurry we had to find a different place to get my hair fixed. We were running all over Ogden like crazy people. We had to get home to get ready for dinner and my hair was literally a mess. Finally we stumbled upon a place to get my hair cut right.

After that horrendous ordeal, I finally get home and waited for P.Okey to come over so we could go to dinner in a few hours. Dinner was so delicious and I got free ice cream because it was my birthday :) I cannot believe I am 18! It really feels no different except for the fact that I have to now figure out what I am going to do with my life. Sincerely I have no idea, but no matter what I know I’ll always have great people by my side.
