It is now officially my birthday.
I am 28 years young. I was born at 12:03pm on May 7th, 1977, exactly two months before my due date. I weighed 4 pounds, 3 ounces. I was so small that even the premi clothing didn't fit me. The first two weeks of my life were spent dressed in doll clothes.
In exactly 9 hours and 45 minutes I will take my Statistics final. In exactly 2 days 13 hours and 15 minutes, I will take my Cognition final, what is probably going to be the most difficult exam of my life. In exactly 2 days, 16 hours and 15 minutes summer vacation begins. Those 2 days, 16 hours and 15 minutes cannot possible go fast enough. I'm feeling rather exhausted by now.
As a little birthday gift to myself, I'm eating a nice big bowl of Ben & Jerry's 'Everything but the..' My ass tells me 'don't do it'; my heart says 'fuck you'. I thought I'd fear this, two years shy of my 30th, but I don't. I don't feel particularly old, nor do I feel particularly young. I've lived a lot in the past six years, since graduating college, enough to make me feel bruised and jaded, experienced before my time. But also enough to know that life is really good and I love living it.
