"The Lucky Ones" -Brendan James

I got to celebrate my birthday over the weekend with my parents. We went to Mongolian BBQ, and it was very yummy! For my birthday, my parents bought me a professional massage. I was so excited because I'm always giving people massages, but usually don't get one myself, and I got to cross it off of my bucket list. It was perfect timing too, because I got to relax before finals. The guy that massaged me was no older than 25 so it was kind of awkward, but I just closed my eyes and enjoyed it. I had the day off of school on Monday and I had finals today and I have two more tomorrow. I had one for Spanish and I had a presentation for English that we have been working on for the whole second half of the semester. My group did our presentation on paraplegics. I'm not going to lie we did really well. Then tomorrow, I have my anatomy final and my AP statistics final. Of course the hardest tests are on the same day. I'm not looking forward to it. Since we had finals today, I only had to be at school until 11:07 instead of 3:11 (hah our schedule is so weird). Since I was home early, I was able to skype with my cousin Michelle who is doing a gap year program in Switzerland. I'm lucky to be so close with all of my cousins, especially since I don't have siblings. Not many families are like mine. So far it has been a good week, but we'll see how tomorrow goes!
