Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I turn 25 today ( onclick="window.open('http://www.jough.com/jough/joey1.jpg','Jough','toolbar=no,width=160,height=230,status=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no');return false">

century. It sounds so much older when you say it that
way.

I’m not too worried about growing older,
though. I can tell myself it’s just a number, or
whatever other rationalization that we use to pretend that
death isn’t one year closer. I don’t mean to be
morbid - I’m not really worried about growing older
yet. Although I had a haircut today and my barber
pointed out a few grey hairs. Lovely.

Anyway, my birthday this year also happens to be
the last day of classes for the semester, so I’ll be at
school all day. And then next week I turn in papers,
and voila, I have a bachelor’s degree.
Whee-ha!
