Wow. I'm getting old!

It's so weird to me. I'm officially 25. No drastic changes quite yet. Is it weird to think about death on your birthday? Every year, at one point during my birthday, I think of John Lennon. He was shot the very day that I was born. Though I was thousands of miles away at that time, I still am affected by it in some strange and cosmic way. The cycle of life is always apparent to me on this day because of him. I have grown to love him and his music (solo and with The Beatles) while growing up, but he was never alive at the same time I was. So as I celebrate my 25th year of life, people all around the world celebrate the 25th anniversary of his death. It's a little bittersweet to think about. So after this post, I am going to stop thinking about it and hopefully have a fun weekend.

M gave me my present yesterday at our weekly dinner. They were lovely. She knows me way too well and I am very fortunate to have her in my life and see her as often as I do. Sometimes we take things like that for granted, but I know that I will never have someone as aberrent as her as a friend ever again. I like that about her. My coworkers took me out to lunch today and it was nice to finally sit down with mostly everybody, especially with the new guy too. I want him to see how close we are and how great of a team we are and that we like to have fun together. In a few months, he'll be a pro at everything and that is very comforting for me to know.

I took the next two days off of work. It's bizarre. It's my first day off work since I started 6 months ago. I don't know what to do with myself, but relax. It's nice to have a break. But I know that I have a lot of stuff that I need to do this weekend, including working on my 15 minute presentation for class. Fun Fun!! But I will try to have loads of fun Saturday night. It will be a great night. Yeah!
