Today, I turned 25, officially a quarter of a century old. I could do with a little more wisdom, though. I know a lot of people don't, but I'm looking forward to 30 for that reason... not that there's anything wrong with being in your 20s.

It's been very low-key today. I spent a couple of hours with my supervision group this morning, worked for most of the afternoon, and went to classes in the evening. A lot of birthday wishes were sent my way either by text, email, ecard, Facebook messages, or voicemail messages, and I picked up a birthday call from my parents this morning and from MF at night... nice how the most important people in my life kind of anchored the day like that.

No, I don't have birthday plans. I think I gave up celebrating my birthday very much years ago, partly because it fell so close to Mother's Day that more people were mostly preoccupied about their moms, and mostly because it fell around finals season and a lot of people would be pretty busy for finals. It's sad to downplay my own birthday for that reason, really.

But when I turn towards upcoming events I'm really looking forward to, like MF coming back next week and my family coming up next weekend for my graduation ceremony, I celebrate that. Those visits are what I really want for my birthday.

Anyway, thank you all for your birthday well-wishes, ladies and gents! I promise that I'll actually try to celebrate my birthday next time, something photo-worthy so I can post pictures up. After all, I deserve it, right? :)
