July 24, 2003 Thursday It’s my birthday today, which means it will last for 39 hours. Today we had to register for classes.

"Happiness does not depend upon getting other people's approval, it depends on getting your own." Today is the perfect day for lounging around doing nothing. And I am loving it.
