It wasn't Keeley's best birthday but it certainly wasn't her worst. The day passed relatively uneventfully after her conversation with her dad.
She got texts, Facebook messages, and Instagram posts wishing her a great day from a variety of people but only got a couple in person. Aiden even wished her a happy birthday from Sweden.
After her dad dropped her back on campus, the only people she saw that even knew about her birthday were Erica and Dr. Kim. The latter was feeling generous and brought her lab assistants pizza to celebrate.
She didn't even get a face-to-face birthday wish from Valentina because she was already asleep by the time her roommate got home from her shift at the hospital. It wasn't that big of a deal. Birthdays didn't matter so much when you were an adult.
The rest of finals passed in a haze. She couldn't believe she only had one semester left now before she would officially be a geneticist. She was so close she could taste it!
