Another Friggin' Year Older

On this last day of me being 25 my supervisor has to send me an email saying he wants a meeting first thing monday morning where I can summarise what I've done in 2006 and what I'm going to do in 2007. Heck as Einstein said, "If we know what we're doing, they wouldn't call it research would they?". So there. I don't know.

Remember when you were young and you just can't wait til your birthday? I still get that sort of feeling for things like Christmas, or moving out to the new place. Just not really for my birthday anymore. I think it's more so much that I mind my age, but more to do with the fact that I just got used to being 25. Look I barely just got used to the idea that I'm an adult and not a kid anymore, and now you want to tell me I've already spent half of my "20s" years? Not going to happen. It's a bit like Catcher in the Rye I guess. You just grow up without realising it and once it happens it's too late.

You would've think that there's some sort of hint that reminds me that I'm growing up, but somehow I managed to miss every single one of them I guess. It doesn't help of course that I chose to stay in university to do research, which means I'm STILL a student... yikes.

Ah well, hopefully I won't be a student anymore by the end of the year. Hopefully to whole owning my own home thing is going to help me to settle in the whole "grown up" thing too. I won't count on it though.
