It's my birthday soon!

It's my birthday next week, normally I'm really excited about birthdays, mine or others - doesn't matter. We have always made birthdays a big deal in my family. I wasn't really excited about mine this year, there are so many other things going on and I thought I'd just pretend it's not even happening and treat it like a normal Wednesday. But the more I think about it the more I think I shouldn't let stupid things ruin special days as well as normal days?! Right? So I have decided I'm going out for a meal with a few friends after our lectures to have a laugh and a good time, can't wait! :)
