Weekday Birthdays

This past week I happened to have my nineteenth birthday fall on a Monday. That same day I had a rough draft of a five-page paper due and a midterm in Spanish. Now I don't expect my professors to give me the day off because it's my birthday, but I can't but feel a little ripped off. So why is that no matter how hard we try, weekday birthdays are terrible. Also, despite the fact that I live fifteen minutes from my home, I didn't have time to go home, because I had to my radio show at 7 that night. I think I completely forgot it was my birthday that day. I really think it is true what they say about birthdays as you get older, they just get worse.
