emily with gifts

On Monday, after skipping one class because of my 4:30 a.m. arrival back to Lüneburg after the Köln trip, I decided I should probably go to campus and attend my other class of the day.  Believe me, the decision was difficult.  But I'm glad I did, because after said class, I went into the USAC office and found a package addressed to me from my best friend, one Paige Davies.

Now, Paige knows basically everything about me, so, of course, this care package was basically the greatest care package ever sent.

The contents:

• Glamour magazine with Lea Michele on the cover.
• I don't think there was a single time last year when we didn't have at least one magazine chilling around our suite.  Now, I can get my beauty tips, boy tips, and Glee fix all in one place.
• Paul Frank folder
• Gotta keep organized, you know.  Paige is much better at this than I am.
• Two pretty notebooks
• For the thought-recording and story-writing and what not.  An English major always needs places to write.
• Highlighters
• I only brought one to Germany with me, and the reading for my EU class has almost worn it out.  It's good to have replacements.
• Index card sized sticky notes
• Studying, meet the wall.  Yes.  Also, random notes of happiness, meet places you wouldn't be expected to be.
• A corkscrew
• This package was apparently originally supposed to be for Birthday 21.
• An orange towel and washcloth
• Because Paige knows how I feel about the color orange.
• Goats milk soap
• WHOA!  That's basically the coolest thing ever.  I can't wait for my skin to get super soft.
• Nightlight: A Parody
• On the inside front cover, Paige wrote "To Emily - who loves Twilight as much as I do."
• A University of Idaho lanyard and an Anti-BSU button
• The card said they were to remind me where I came from.

An absolutely fantastic birthday/care package from one of my favorite people ever.  Thanks Paige, you made my week.
