year

it occured to me yesterday as i was walking into lab and trying to figure out what day it was that it's october already.

that means three more months and it will be 2006. can you believe that? three more months. that's nothing. i'll be 26 next year, which isn't an especially nice sounding age to be. 25, fine; 27, fine; 30, fine. but 26 has no ring to it. it's a lame age to be, frankly, and i'll be it for a whole year. not that that year will last long. they never do. pretty soon it will be october 2006 and i'll be writing this post all over again.

and i'll be in my fifth year of grad school and i'll want to cry. i already want to cry.

Well, the highlight of my 26th year (at least so far) has been meeting the most awesome cat in the whole world... so I'd count being 26 a win for me. :)

ah, the power of the edit.

you can call me a censor if you must but susan hanson is being erased from the blogosphere.

gah. actually that's kind of...depressing. what if i'm doing this for the next fifteen years! :P

hmmmm... i can't decide if 34 is a good number or bad number. 32 seems good. 35, definitely good. 33 and 34, not so much. but since you're going from 33 to 34 i guess it doesn't make much difference. ;)

wow. now i have people censoring themselves. just call me big brother.

good things before 34, and that's just a month away--sounds promising!

oh, i'm not saying those years are prone to be bad years, just years where the number doesn't sound great.
