[ she rattles off her birthday easily, so it is clearly that she lost track of time. everything blended together in prison and she didn't keep track of the days on her wall, why would she? it would be a countdown to her death. after that is was a blur of battles and hyperspace and time is meaningless when you're hurtling through space.
