Layercakes and Free Beer

Yesterday was Pernille's birthday, so with the help of Tom and Javier, a surprise, and slightly inappropriate) layer cake was made.

Lars!! Javier is a computer science major, and he put the candles to represent "7" in binary code (she's 27)

Then we went out dancing for a few hours at place that happened to have free entry and free beer--Perfect deal!

I've been trying to fill my time with practical things, so for starters I'm working tonight, and my psych teacher said he'd help me get volunteer shifts working with patients in a psychiatric unit, or at a research lab, plus I now have time to figure out what the heck I'm going to do after I graduate and how to best plan for the next 5-10 years of my life. I'm only freaking out a little bit, talking to Pernille helped a lot, she sounded a bit like my mom. ("Hold on to what makes you happy, and work on helping the rest fall into place one way or another--strict ambitions alone can leave you lonely and unsatisfied, I have to remember that the process is not only the way to my goal, but a big chuck of my life.) Lots to think about, I hate taking risky leaps of faith!
