Ah...it's that day of the year again...the day where many people suddenly cared about you for about 10 seconds and then disappeared for the rest of the year. Yes, indeed, it's my birthday today, and as I've said before, I really hate the attention on this day. Good thing nothing interesting happened, so apparently everyone learned about my birthday philosophy quite well. A couple of emails here, a few instant messages there, a few e-cards here, and a phone call from home, that's all. So what exactly do I want for my birthday? Spiritual growth. It's also something I want for the rest of my 26th year on earth.

So what exactly happened today? Woke up, had bread for breakfast, shower, read the scriptures, phone call from home, went to school, visited Marg, spent considerable amount of time composing an email, supposed to prepare for supervisor meeting tomorrow but didn't, got tired, went home, ate dumplings for lunch, sleep, wake up, exercise, more thinking, watched J!, enjoyed a 4-course dinner, and here I am now. Waiting for The Amazing Race coming soon... Yes, I spent most of the time alone. Pity.

Weatherwise, we had snowsquall warning the entire day, with strong winds and snow and around -2 degrees. Considering that it was 15 degrees yesterday, does that mean that it's going to be a cold year for me?
