V-Day, Elder Bringhurst, School

Single Awareness Day was Monday. Until 1:00 i was pretty confident i was single, until i received two dozen pink tipped white roses. The culprit...? i have no idea who, however the positive is i have three dozen roses smelling up Kells and my room. (the other dozen came from Patrick). So roses mean different things (i had no idea) so here is a little info for you.
