The Beauty Within

I don’t think I necessarily changed this year, or perhaps my life has changed tremendously that it feels like I personally haven’t changed.

I don’t know if I am any smarter or more mature than before.

The only thing I know for sure is… I am in denial.

See, as kids we were all taught to round up to the nearest 5s or 10s (or whatever unit).  So, 23 rounds up to 25, and 25 rounds up to 30.  Suddenly, HOLY CRAP, I’m almost 30!  And I haven’t even accomplished anything I’ve wanted, nor do I even have real concrete goals set yet.  SHIT!  Where did the time gO?!??  HOW THE HELL AM I SUDDENLY ALMOST 30??!??

So yea.. that’s why I’m actually on the bum side this year.  But I did love all the birthday wishes, and I can’t wait for my birthday present to get here!

Or perhaps I’m a bit bum about work.  It’s nothing too big, but a lot of my coworkers are leaving for school.  I’m so proud of them for getting into their respective programs (2 post-bac for med school, 1 master program for nursing, 1 medical school), but I really will miss them.  They are so fun to work with, and I feel so safe working with them.  All 4 who are leaving watch out for everyone in the lab, and they help out everyone!  Not to mention they are just fun to work with.  =P  Plus another girl is switching shifts (again), so I don’t get to work with her anymore.  She has the best 1-liners in the world, and the way she exclaims them crack everyone up.  But it’s better for her because going to school, doing research, AND working full time at night is just awful.

K… I’m off to stare at my chocolate cupcake that 1 (ex)-coworker gave us.  =P
