I'm lucky.

I know it shouldn't bother me that all my friends forgot my birthday, but it does. I know that most of them are busy with school or work, but so am I, and I find the time to message people and wish them happy birthday. I begin to think at times like this that my friends don't care, and are, in essence, not really friends. Maybe this is my half awake brain talking, but it's always been like that, most people forget about my birthday, and don't remember unless someone hints them too it. It's always been like this, all through high school, obviously I don't make a lasting impression on anyone.
In happier news, my parents took me to the Casino and I had a lot of fun. I like to play the slot machines, and in my case, win $10.20. Yeah, I came out with more money then I originally started with. That was neat, but it will be hard to not make a habit of it. I can see how people can blow their life savings in one sitting. Believe me, it can be really easy, just plugging in quarter after quarter, and in some cases, even dollars. I really don't want to become like that, so going to the casino will only ever happen once in a blue moon, not to mention I don't have the money to go more than once a month.
Still no word from Uppsala, but according to the secretary in the International office, no news is good news. I can see that it may be taking a while because they also have to process my housing application and my application for an intensive language course, and they may be mailing it. Yeah that's it, it's in the mail...Is that wishful thinking?
