I had a fantastic 17th birthday!

Ballet class dampened my mood but Kat and Gerv made it all better. They were so sweet! They paid for the meal, the cake, the present, everything!

We spent ages queuing at Marche at Vivo last night, and by the time we got in, it was about 8.30pm. We ordered things like lamb shoulder, beef steak, half a chicken, paella rice, and one glass of ice-lemon-tea. As usual, it was horribly over-priced. The bill came up to $70. I spent the most among us, I ordered the lamb and paella. I even added a side of mashed potato! If I had known they were going to pay, I would have ordered more! (Ha, ha!) I was so tempted to order so many other things, like fried mushrooms, saucey mushrooms, pasta, pizza, more meat. Darn!!! (Thanks, guys!)

After we finished dinner, it was 10pm, so we headed out onto the rooftop, looking for a nice spot facing the sea. We settled down there, and they brought out a cake! Kat let out that Chocz always has 20% off their cakes, but I was so touched, I couldn't/wouldn't have cared.

We lit the candles, and they screamed when one of the candles tilted and dripped wax. I was laughing hysterically. We took pictures, they sang for me, and I cut the cake. It was a very,very long process.
The cake was choco-banana. I would've preferred no banana, but like I said, I was too touched to care. We chatted while looking out at the sea, and I felt like the luckiest person.
There was even a present after the cake! They gave me a necklace with a pretty-looking cross. It looks very medieval, very cool!

We ended up leaving Vivo at around 11.30pm, just in time to catch the last train home. I reached the front door of my house with a big smile on my face.

I'll do a quick update while waiting for the shower.

I hope the poly courses for Direct Poly Admission include Biomedical Science. If they don't, too bad, I'll just have to stick with my original plan of studying or die trying.

I have unfinished Math homework, and I'll probably get sent for Detention tomorrow because I lost, and thus haven't done, my Accounts worksheet. I confessed to Mrs Chow today, and she seemed okay about it, but she wants me to do it one way or another, and I can see why. I just hope I don't spend hours sitting outside the General Office, struggling with Accounts and fighting back tears. I don't know why even though she jokes while sentencing me to a punishment, I get near tears.
I guess it's a self-disappointment thing.

I finally got my head-phones (Thanks, Vanessa!), and I'm happy. It cost us 50 bucks, but it's something I've been wanting for months now, especially since my old one has been falling apart more and more.

It's hard to believe how everyone around me is dying.

Don't forget about my special day, people!
Buona notte.
