i am 31 today, and not in the best mood. the question is: what have i done with my life so far???? if anyone has an idea, please let me know!!! also, other question: should i keep or drop economics of education? if i drop it, i’ll have to take it some other time, probably in the summer, right before my august prelims!!! if i keep it, i will only have 2 more classes to take to complete my coursework… that’s not so bad, only 60 pages of research paper to write… but taking this plus human resources plus world englishes just seems too much for me. i am so lazy!!! ok people, you need to write to cheer me up!!! final question of the evening: does life get better with time??? please tell me that it does because i had this dream last night where i was watching a movie of my life and ended up asking me dad « so it just gets worse and worse and worse? » and he said YES. and i woke up crying. so… i seriously need some cheering up here!!! i had sushi tonight, by myself, and for the first time in a long time, wished i had a b-friend… well, someone to spend the evening with, really. the good things about today are: i got long and fake nails, and they are just gorgeous! and i like my new students so far. and some really cool people called me today for my b-day!! and there is no snow here yet!!

Thought of the day: « If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. »
John Stuart Mill, English philosopher (1806-1873).
