happy un-birthday to me!

Today is my half-birthday. This isn't really something I "celebrate" as such, but somehow I always end up remembering it. I've never really been much for celebrating birthdays or name days or anything, beyond some Facebook wishes and phone calls from family. Lately they always just kind of end up being these bittersweet days when I realize that I'm getting older and I still haven't accomplished anything worthwhile. Hopefully in six months, I'll feel a little better, what with having completely my BA, gotten into grad school, and possibly by February, having finished translating a book. So, yeah, there are some accomplishments to celebrate. :)

Those are some accomplishments!! I don't really feel like celebrating mine either. I would honestly be fine with my mom depositing money in my account so that I could buy some things I wanted and not do anything. I refuse to work on my birthday because honestly I feel more depressed than anything because I feel like "I'm 33, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it other a huge pile of debt I'm trying to dig myself out of and can't even do that effectively because I don't make enough $ to handle that and everything else that pops up." But...my mom and I have the same birthday, and so I kinda feel obligated to go to their house and spend time with her.
