25

I'll be 25 in 25 minutes. (coincidence, I didn't plan this)

First birthday in the USA. First birthday in Harvard. First Birthday in graduate school.

Should I be feeling introspective? Flashbacks on things I've done in my life? Gather together my thoughts and plans for the future?

Men have conquered empires before they were 25. Men have done much better, but at least I've not done much worse.

Quarter of a century. A third of the expected lifespan of a modern man.

Thing is, funnily enough I don't really feel anything. I've just watched 24 (won't be 24 anymore!) with friends, and tomorrow I've class at 8.30pm. The maelstrom of thoughts and emotions is nowhere to be seen.

But I'm having dinner with friends tomorrow night, and that's always the highlight of my birthdays. Cos it's not about me, but about you guys.

Will be going to Vegas for spring break, end of March. Staying in The Signature at MGM Grand, so stay tuned! And I'm planning to pop by the UK in June, to see people, and hopefully, drop by a May Ball. Anyone going?
