It's my birthday!!! Celebrated by going to lectures then Starbucks, and had a traditional lunch and am just waiting for my dinner. But in all seriousness, I celebrated it last week with my friends, and last month with my family. I(think)'ve got most of my presents.. spent a disproportionate amount of time looking for a dress yesterday. I feel like my life needs to be more girly.. it doesn't feel like it is at the moment.
I feel like I have left my teens for real now. When you're 21, you can still claim to be a teen.. I always associated being 21 with a "let's party!" age. Now I'm properly in my 20's. But being 21 was fun. Some of the things that stood out for me this year: I helped to deliver a baby on my 21st birthday. I helped to deliver several babies, and got to be assistant surgeon. I got mentioned in the acknowledgements in P's thesis. (I have an irrational worry of being forgotten when I am no longer alive.. so in some small way, I will be remembered). I've achieved more of my goals to do before I'm 30. I got a BSc in Medical Sciences with Reproductive and Developmental Science. I read a book that changed my outlook on life. I learnt significantly more about what will happen in the future. I had many many good times with my friends and family, and learnt who I could and couldn't trust, and who my real friends were.
Whilst I worry about getting old ( I have about £x of products I regularly use right now. is that too much?), I'm excited about what this year is going to bring. Age is just a number and all that matters is what you do with the time that you have.
5 years ago, I only had vague ideas and vague dreams about where my life was going.
