i am the party goddess

i threw a surprise birthday party for chang tonight. ina and mima bought me all the groceries and decorations that i asked for, and then i spent the day cooking and cleaning for the night. the surprise was pulled off perfectly, actually, and the party was a blast...we played a drinking game called "three kings" and people fiddled around with my music to put together party music, and all the food i made got eaten, save for a few pieces of cake.

most importantly, though, chang had a wonderful surprise and it made him and ina happy, which makes me happy. so it was a fantastic night, despite the millions of dishes i have to do, and all the cleaning that must take place tomorrow. oh well, it was totally worth it.

i said goodbye to kimbrough tonight, and tomorrow night will be the first night i ever have completly alone in the flat, as annie and nath are heading to australia, mateja is in the south island, the boys have moved out, lena will be moving out, and sascha is leaving for summer school at a little school called HARVARD. it's so surreal that the semester is done now. i really can't believe it.
