Glad I didn't.&lt;br /&gt;I would have gotten no sleep. As opposed to like 11 hours.  I vote sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the best thing by far is that I can do whatever I want today. Guilt-free.&lt;br /&gt;First day in weeks where I don't have to write a paper. Or study for an exam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's like 60 degrees outside. Which is not rain and snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm going to play some Guild Wars all day. I did Thursday night and it was the greatest 2 hours in life I've had in a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is good.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4154055020554783064-4252493382645345420?l=thewikiblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewikiblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4252493382645345420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4154055020554783064&amp;postID=4252493382645345420' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4154055020554783064/posts/default/4252493382645345420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4154055020554783064/posts/default/4252493382645345420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewikiblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-off-forgot-what-thats-like.html' title='A day off?

For me, it's just enough to be able to remember to write "2007" on my checks for the next two months.  Or at least, that used to be all I ever really worried about.  But this time something's different.  Something just isn't the same.  I don't know what it is, or was that at the time made me realize it-- it was most likely a combination of spending the evening with my two best friends, the incredibly depressing yet eye-opening movie we had just finished watching, and the bottle of champagne workings itself on me.... but I realized... a lot of things actually. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt;Each year, we are faced with 365 days... well, there is the leap year of course... so, roughly 365 days.  That means every year that is 365 days in which we have the chance.  For what? For anything! The chance to make a difference, to right a wrong, to seek answers... the chance to take a chance! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt;I think too often we take for granted every day that we wake up.   Most people don't stop to think about how many people die every day.  When we complain that we'd "rather die than go to work today"..... there's someone out there who could be wishing that they had just one more day.  And quite franky, if I'm lucky enough to be still be here each day, it would unfair to those who will never again see that sunrise, never again be with their loved ones... for me to take this day for granted and not make something of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt;And so, I plan to make the most of this year... simply by making the most out of each day.  1 down, and 365 more to go...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4154055020554783064-8150464812557535652?l=thewikiblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewikiblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8150464812557535652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4154055020554783064&amp;postID=8150464812557535652' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4154055020554783064/posts/default/8150464812557535652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4154055020554783064/posts/default/8150464812557535652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewikiblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/another-year-another-365-chances.html' title='another year, another 365 chances.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
