I had one of the nicest birthdays this year that I've had in a long time. My birthdays always seem to alternate between the two extremes of really good and really bad, and I'm thankful that this year things were on the more positive side of that spectrum. Even if Benjamin wasn't there. (He sucks.)

We had a huge seminar today on postmodern theory, and I'm still not really sure how I feel about how it went. I feel like there was a lot of stuff that we didn't cover that we TOTALLY should have (stupid popular culture) but at the same time we did a really good job getting people to participate and we actually used up the full 80 minute period, which none of the other groups have done as of yet. But who knows?

I also got on 81.5 on my history midterm from last week, which also makes me feel a bit better about the class, because it means that even if I still think social history isn't so much where it's at, I can probably achieve a reasonably good mark in that class.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe my teachers are a little more lenient marking me this year because they know I want to go to grad school and that I need good marks in order to do it. 'Cause in high school, when we were getting our marks that counted for university admissions, some of our teachers totally bolstered our averages to help us get in or get scholarship money. Which is not to say that I don't think that I deserve some of the marks I'm getting, but sometimes there is that niggling self-doubt.

Thank you very much to all those who sent birthday wishes, cards, balloons, presents, etc. It was all very appreciated and I am very glad to know that that there are so many people who love me. Also, the Finn rules.
