The Return of BioMom

I ran into Cindy at Firefly Coffeehouse. It's funny how people look so much the same, but somehow different.

We hadn't seen each other in probably five years, and it was an instant transformation back to my mid-twenties. Cindy, aka BioMom, was part of my klatch of companions who united to form a motley group of non-traditional students, headed by a former professor.

Those were the days when I traipsed around town doing very esoteric activities like watching a moonrise, and normal stuff like going out for coffee, or to a movie or bookstore.

I miss the camaraderie that came with college.

Well today's the day. I'm up, I don't know how. Last night I was up waaaaay too late watching Ratatouille. It's so cute. It's a really great animated film, easily on par with the incredibles.

So anyway, I'm going out to brunch with the bf and then I think I might start the day with a cocktail. I feel like my age, but I feel like I have accomplished something — school is over.

My goal was to graduate before I was into my thirties, and I did it. At least, I finished school before I entered my thirties. Because technically a decade doesn't really start on the 0 year, it starts on the 1 year. Just like the first day of the millennium was actually 1/1/01.

What you don't believe me? Well, fine, it is kind of stupid. But really, I finished while I was still 30, which is pretty good after going 9 years part time.

So I'm off to feast on an omelette and guzzle some coffee. Happy Birthday to me and to my fellow Sagittariuses.
