BIRTHDAY!!!

So another week has gone by, and as the month of February comes to a close I realize one thing... that tomorrow is finally my birthday!! Woohoo!! I mean it’s about time I’ve been waiting for this all month, but the sad thing is though that I almost forgot that tomorrow is going to be my birthday.

Now that’s sad, but that’s only because I’ve been busy over the course of the past month thinking about the various things I have to do. For instance, baseball tryouts start in two days; I’ve been visiting colleges left and right; and I have finally started my scholarship applications. So now that I have gotten some stuff done on my to-do list, it’s time for me to relax for one day. Then I go back to the old grind... again, but it’s ok because this year is almost over.

That’s not the point though. What is the point is that I’m excited for this year. The reasons for the excitement for my birthday this year is that reaching the age of eighteen is a year where you are finally considered an adult. On top of the reaching of adulthood at age eighteen you can finally vote... and go to jail... and some other stuff that will go unnamed, so yea I’m excited. Also, there is another reason my birthday is exciting, and that’s the fact that I am born on my grandfather’s birthday. Thats right two Gene’s were born on the same day, what are the odds. I am especially grateful for this because my name wouldn’t be Gene if I wasn’t born on his birthday. My name would be David instead, yea that’s a scary thought for those of you who know my brother, but that’s besides the point.

Now other than my birthday, this week isn’t that bad. I mean on Tuesday most seniors are off, so I can finally take my car to the shop to get the flat tire I’ve had for three weeks fixed. Then, comes the soon-to-be highlight of the rest of my year... baseball season. So yea, I’m gonna be pretty pumped this week. GET EXCITED!!!
