I felt as though acknowledging my 33rd year would interrupt the flow of the piece. And it would make me seem older than I want to be. lol. But you are absolutely right. :) And for some reason, my spam filter sends all of your comments in the trash... @Nico,

Just to be pedantic (as my brother always is with me.) When you turn 32 you have completed your 32nd year on earth. You have now entered your DA-NA-NA-NA 33rd year. And you know what that means. Or maybe not, you reformed JW you. Oh, and.

And I didn't say that I fucked up the year. I said that I fucked up some stuff in the year. It's a part of being human. If we had the chance to do some things again we might do them differently, hindsight being 20/20, yadda, yadda, yadda. But on the grand scale of things I felt that this past year was great. So yeah, I fucked up some stuff, and who doesn't, but so what? -- this was what I was trying to say. Perhaps it is the use of the word 'fuck' that gave the pronouncement a gravity that was definitely not intended. See! Yet another fuck up! ;) Hey Serene,

And don't say things like you've fucked up the year. You can't look at life as a pass/fail option. It's live/not live. And you've lived! You've done so much. So things didn't quite go according to plan. The most significant and important things don't ever. Btw, SOME of us went into academia knowing we wanted to stay in academia - and making the decision to do grad school was a big leap of unknown depths and uncertainty for us! :) Happy birthday, again, and here's wishing you a fantastic 32nd year ahead!
