Hi. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special today -- my birthday was on Wednesday the 23rd -- and also I would like to say a shout out to the girls in Amigos who gave us their table and so graciously walked into the restaurant, saw that we'd been waiting and then told us that we could have their table because we'd been waiting patiently and they just didn't want random people who'd just walked up to sit down there, since we'd been waiting for a while. To me, the true colors of U.Va. shined through tonight, and I just wanted to say thank you because my mind was on other things, but when that happened I remembered how proud I am to be a Wahoo. Wahoowa!
