One Year Older

Nineteen Years ago Today...

It is an absolutely perfect day for a birthday... But I am inside.

Perfect.

My Birthday celebrations began EARLY this morning at Keith's - which was a great success. I went to bed really late, and slept until Noon. Now I am eating my birthday lunch of day old Jimmy John's bread, BBQ chips and Root beer. I really don't think there would be a better way to celebrate. No where else I'd rather be at least.

I have so much to do between now and tomorrow, but by tomorrow, I will be on a plane across the sea.

My root beer is gone...

Finals week was an exciting one... not all positive, but now, it is all done, and it is summer. I am here, on this deserted campus... all mine. It is so quiet.

Besides laundry and packing I am going to read some books, hang out with friends, and enjoy this lovely day. One day closer to being a "grown-up" whatever that means. Almost two decades...

That reminds me of a ponder I had yesterday. Yesterday with Fred and Colin I thought about how last year I had no idea what I would be doing for my 19th birthday, and how I never could have imagined it accurately. What did I do for my 18th birthday? I don't even remember. All I recall is being excited to sign legal documents. I will remember this one.
