My birthday is tomorrow. Well, Sanimir’s birthday is, and I guess that’s technically mine because I am Sanimir, no matter what it says on Hethurin’s identity papers. Sometimes I wonder why he got papers that said I’m older than I am. Hethurin is 104. I’ll really be 93.
-
Or I already am. All the time I’ve spent sleeping in another time, and the week I spent away, it all adds up, right? So I come back to the same time that I left, that doesn’t make the time spent there go away. So I guess that technically, I was 93 years old a few weeks ago. My birthday is still the day I was born though, so I guess I can still celebrate it in Shattrath with Isandri and Kes even though I’m already 93. Otherwise, I don’t know when to celebrate. I guess I don’t really know how old I am now, and it’ll only get worse. I understand now why my future self told me that I was technically 149 then. I guess if I’ve already lost track, then it’s not going to get any easier in the future.

I still plan to go to Shattrath for it. Maybe they’ll have some cake there at the restaurant. I know Terellion would have made a great cake, but I don’t want to draw attention to it here at the school. I think it’s best if no one questions my age. I figure they probably already do, just not to my face.
-
I mean, I know I’m young, but that doesn’t mean I can’t teach. I’ve been doing just fine with that. Everyone is learning. I might still be learning too, but I figure I always will be, and if I stop learning things, then that probably means I’m dead. It’s fine to start teaching while I’m still learning.

I told Des about Renner. It wasn’t easy to tell her, and she was upset. I don’t think she’s mad at me, and I really hope she understands.
-
I think it’s not time to tell the others yet.
-
I like going out to the garden in the evening. It’s relaxing, and there’s a nice view there. Usually some of the students are there too, so it’s a good time to socialize.
-
Terellion has been raking leaves a lot lately. Probably because there’s a lot of leaves to rake.

I got letters from Tik and from the confessor. Tik wrote one letter to everyone, and then separate letters for me, Des and Renner. Of course, I don’t think he knows about the others yet, not to mention, he doesn’t know them. I put the one for everyone from Tik up on the board in the classroom. That way, everyone could read it, even the new people. I know some of them have relatives there too, so I was worried that it might upset them to read that the fighting has started, but they seem okay so far. I’m watching out for them. I know it’s not easy, and that they’re worried about their friends and family there. I am too, and I’m trying to remain both positive about and sensitive to how they feel.
- I’m also not trying to put too much stress on them, but I am trying to keep them busy. It’s a delicate balance, I think. Xarola seems a little overwhelmed, but then there’s Keyalenn, who doesn’t seem to have enough to do. I’m giving Key extra work, and I spend most of my lesson with Xarola going over the basics of the group lessons. The confessor mentioned in his letter that they could all write to him. I put a notice about that up on the board next to Tik’s letter. Maybe some of them will.
