21-year-old Princess

My birthday here was the best I have ever had in my life! I felt like a princess all day long. For example: I wanted flowers, and not only did I get flowers, but I got four bouquets; my entire day was like that. God just made me feel so beautiful and appreciated.

Some of the highlights from my party:
* my American friend Desteni and some Colombian guys reinacting the "Thriller" scene from "13-Going-On-30"
* having two Colombians serenade me with two songs that I didn't understand a word of... but I'm good at smiling and nodding
* the student I'm closest to deciding not to leave for Puerto Rico, but finishing the school here (this was the best present I"ve ever been given!)
* another really good friend calling me even though he's in Venazuela
* getting a notebook that everyone wrote in: my qualities and how I've impacted them
*** Having a cake smashed in my face
