Family and School on my Birthday

Hi 😊 As you probably will have guessed from the title, it's my birthday! My parents bought me an Xbox One for it, which I finally finished setting up about 10 minutes ago -_- But it's a great present, and I can finally play Final Fantasy XV now!

I'm still saving up for a record player however.

SOMEDAY. 😣

But, in all seriousness, the evening has been the best part of my day. It's become a tradition for my family on my dad's side (My grandparents, aunt and uncle) to take me and my dad (Whose birthday is 5 days before mine) out for a meal at this amazing Italian restaurant just outside of my city. The experience is always great as I don't get to see my grandparents on my dad's side all as often as on my mum's side, so we get to catch up on a lot of things.

It's not always a good experience having your birthday on a school day, but an added bonus today for me was that I had no homework and I had my school book club today. I recommended "We Are All Made of Molecules" to the group, and there were some recommendations too. The books I want to read next though are:

• You're Making me Hate You by Corey Taylor (Lead Singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour)

• Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi

I want to read Furthermore because it has an interesting fantasy-style story, and You're Making Me Hate You because it's Corey Taylor, obviously xD

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!
