30

It's a little strange to spend my 30th birthday studying for finals. The inclement weather has voided my plans for a lunch beer and burger at the Crown and Anchor. But I'm going to the Rose Bowl in a month with my wonderful wife, some great friends, and my loving family. That trumps two more days of school and some freezing rain.

There's no conveniently-named Gin Blossoms song like last year, making this music selection a little tougher. This year, I've got a long way to get before I get back home.
