do you smell that???
yes, that is the smell of an old fart. i am now 23 yrs old as of today...meaning one thing, my mother gave birth to me 23 yrs ago, making today my birthday. for some reason, i do not feel any older and i definitely did not look forward to turning another year older. 22 was a nice age for me...last year of college, i was a academic transition counselor to 6 great guys, which was a major goal for me throughout my ucsd career, i dealt with love life issues, and of course, i graduated from ucsd...i was quite content with that age. but with 23 comes a whole lot more in terms of entering the real world. graduating college as a 22 year old means entering the workforce as a 23 year old. also, i will be moving out at the end of this month for the first time in my life (unless u count the 4 summer bridges i was a part of). basically, i really have to become an adult. yeah yeah, i became an adult @ age 18, but i just prolonged non-adult life for an extra 5 years as i proceeded through college life, and now i am faced with the reality of life. but that is a part of growing up. thank you everybody for your birthday wishes...they really put a smile on my face. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
