Over the Hill

Today I am 22 years old. This is the first time I have had a birthday and really felt it. I dont mean physically, I mean mentally. For the first time in my life, I feel like I can no longer be classified as a kid by anyone. I have thought of myself as an adult for many years, but to the elders in my life....I was still "just a kid". My mom was 22 when she had me. It blows my mind sometimes. Though I think I could handle it if I had to, I cant imagine having something in my life right now that required my undivided attention 24 hours a day. Though I am a little discouraged with myself that I am behind schedule with my education, I am reminded that taking a little extra time with my studies allows me more time to avoid adult responsibilties such as a full time job...and the thought of marriage and children.

On a positive bday note...i have been eating lots of cake. I had two slices last night...and when I got to work this morning...there was a mini cake with a single candle burning. HOW CUTE! I also received pink roses from my mom, and a cute bouquet from my stepmom. I also scored a white gold cross with diamonds and sapphires. I am hoping that having this religious symbol around my neck will encouage me to reflect before making future decisions. Most likely not...but at the big 22 I feel like I should start trying to find some sort of faith. My mini cake is sitting here looking at me...but I dont want to eat it on my own. I feel like a fat tub of lard already. Hopefully someone will come along and eat it with me. Nutrition facts say 10 grams of fat per serving. Thats harsh. If it were my choice I would just eat all of the frosting off of the cake. Oh well...I hope all of you readers have a pleasant day. Come and chat on yahoo or aim....I will surely have a sugar high!
