21st BDAY WEEKEND!

So, it's official. I'm 21!! So exciting...only if I was in America it would have gone down a little different ;).  I did have such a great weekend though! My birthday fell on a Sunday, so we all ended up going out Saturday night.  A small group of us went to this really yummy restaurant called ZiZi's. I had this pizza/calzone thing.  It was so good!! And Carrie, Petra and I split a bottle of rose wine from CA.  Here is the group of us in the city after dinner :).

After dinner we came back home to change into "going out" clothes and have pre-drink a little bit.  I have always wanted a sequined dress for my 21st.  I thought I would never find it...but then on Saturday morning I figured I would give it one more try and BOOM I found it :) I was so excited about it and I get to wear it to Vegas too...or if I ever want to be a disco ball for Halloween ;).  I'm pretty sure there are sequins all over the house.  A few of my roommates found them in their rooms...and I was never even in their rooms with that dress on haha.  Before we left Carrie and Petra surpised me with a yummy yummy birthday cake! It was carrot cake which is one of my favorites!

After we finally left, we started our night out at a place called the Pitcher and Piano.  It is a really cool bar.  It used to be an old church but the turned it into a restaurant/bar/club.  Looook!

This picture doesn't even do it justice, but trust me it was so cool and pretty! We stayed there until midnight and the Carrie even got the DJ to play me a birthday song! Another girl also thought it was so cool we were both turning 21 that night! I did have a party foul and dropped a full double vodka redbull...sooo embarassing.

We did manage to get a good picture of all of us girls though! I'm so glad so many of my great roomies could come out and celebrate with me! :)

After we left the church turned bar, I wanted to go to this place called Market Bar...still not 100% sure why we didn't end up there...but we ended up going to BaBar (not that cool of a place...still fun though) and I got exactly what I wanted at the end...A KEBAB!  It was absolutely disgusting and not what I thought a kebab was.  When I think kebab I think shish-kebab.  Apparently I was wrong.  A kebab here is meat in a pita/naan bread pretty much.  Not very good.

On my real birthday we went to Weatherspoons and had a traditional English Breakfast and then went on a walk around Trent River and played in the leaves!  It was so relaxing and exactly what I needed after a night out :)

Then...I had to work on my group project, which was no fun :(.

This week has been awesome though! Carrie, Laney, Gillian, Shelby and I booked our flight to Paris and Barcelona! Needless to say, I AM STOKED! I'm just turning into a little world traveler ;)  I am a little antsy to get home though, I'm missin' it a lot :(.

Gotta get back to work on this project! Until next time..
