Wow it’s the last day of August! We are soon nearing the last third of 2020. It’s difficult to imagine that so much time has passed, but here we are.
Since the internship started, we have celebrated two birthdays: my roommate Brooke, and Alex. Here is how we celebreate!
Since Brooke’s birthday was during the first week of interns arriving, apartments had to self-isolate and couldn’t really interact. But people came up with creative ways to celebrate! The Liz’s apartment bought streamers and a balloon and snuck in after Brooke fell asleep!
After we worked out together in the morning, we ate breakfast from Keke’s together. It’s a birthday tradition my apartment last year started, since we’re all morning ladies J We both ordered Benedicts of some sort.
We had a morning of Zoom calls, and one of the first things we did was sing happy birthday to her. The video is not very interesting, so I will not post it here. We did a lot of singing in person that day, though.
After all our meetings, Tony John, Brooke, and I went to East End Market for lunch. We even got matching shirts to celebrate Brooke’s birthday. The words on the shirt say “Hurricane Club.” Yes, it’s very Florida for sure.
[slight tangent: Tony John has been hanging out a lot with my apartment. We have some cute pictures together so I will post them here:

And of course, I had to make her something. Since Brooke really like berries, I made her a berry cobbler. There were a lot of berries for sure!
I also organized a surprise for her! I got all the interns to stop by and sing for her, and then we had a social-distanced worship night out in the parking lot. It was a good day, if I could say so myself.
I don’t have as many pictures for Alex’s birthday, but that’s because he’s not my roommate. I really want to show off the French Silk Pie I made for him, which I’ve never made or eaten before. He said it was very delicious (after telling me that my trial run filling was too rich and thick. Interesting.)
We did get our first group picture ever, three weeks after we all moved down! I’ll post the silly picture, because it just shows how energetic and crazy these people are. I’m looking forward to growing together this coming year :)
