It's a whole new world
I turned 24 today. It is my first birthday where I haven't been able to go home either right before, right after, or on my birthday. My first long-distance birthday. I got up, I went to class, I went to work, I taught my speech class, and now I'm home wasting time and not grading the papers I should. It's a weird feeling being cut off from my family. I guess this is what it feel like to have an adult birthday.
24 puts me right smack-dab in the mid-twenties. At 23 I could still try to hold on to the "early-twenties," but now I am in my mid-twenties. I think I should feel more grown up or something. I am back to being the baby in grad school, and at times I feel like a kid. Not a bad thing, but its hard to stand in front of a class of people roughly my age and try to give off an air of authority I'm not sure I feel.
Oh well, this is my first lj post in a long time. I guess I just feel like this should be some big turning point, some huge step into adulthood, and I don't know that it will be that. I'm getting old, I'm just not ready to.
