I am so very sleepy right now. Just came home from Central Park; they're doing a summer French film festival with the theme of "Summer Vacation". After being there for an hour, neither my friend nor I knew what the plot was or if there was one and it was growing colder with the wind getting stronger. We packed up our snacks and tablecloth off the grass and left! We got on the train and went our separate ways. Journey over? Not. I waited...and waited...watched three trains pass without stopping before one finally opened its doors. Once home, I shoved the urge to pass out to the back of my mind and set out to write this. Why? Because I can't sleep yet. I have to take care of my dog who has been shut up in the apartment all by his lonesome today. I thought, "I can sleep at 12am or a little later. I can still get eight to ten hours of sleep since I don't have dance class until 2pm." Then it hit me...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!

0.0 What? So fast? Oh great dark blue skies and calm heaven, I am turning 21 tomorrow. Holy white lilies, red tulips, and yellow daisies. Oh my, oh my.

I've had one heck of a day: getting out of bed at 1pm, running errands for my out of town mother, grabbing a quick lunch while letting my dog run around, going to teach, talking to the school programs director about my students' graduation, buying snacks, trying to make it to Central Park...it completely slipped my mind that it's my birthday tomorrow.

That has never happened before.

But there's a first time for everything, isn't there? =) Isn't that one of the great things about life? As long as you're alive, anything can happen. Even the things you dreamed would never happen. Or rather, you can dream that anything you'd never dare to dream could actually happen.

There, that's quite positive, isn't it? A good place to end this entry.

Good night all!

Happy birthday!

And life and its unpredictability... well, one can take that any number of ways.

Have a good one today!
I've forgotten my birthday was coming up for two years in a row - it falls during dead week at my school, which means projects, lack of sleep, blah, blah. Remembering my birthday seems trivial in the face of passing classes.
Also, on a random note, I like your writing style a lot. It's very energetic and easy to read. I'll be stopping by whenever I log in.

Happy Birthday! I love this entry, it starts off kind of slow and lethargic and then it snowballs into a runaway train of enthusiasm. Life is great for the reason you mentioned. I was just thinking about how great life is but you really put it so nicely.

Happy belated birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day!

My classes for the next month are also at 2, except they're regular school classes and not something as exciting as dance. It's nice being able to go out or stay up a little later than usual.
