I don't care what anyone says, 28 ain't that big a number. Because it's MY birthday and I get to do as I please, at least on this blog, here's 12 things worth mentioning since my last B'day:
1. An economic crisis and a sanitary panic took place and the world spins madly on.
2. I discovered a few things about myself yet I'm not really sure what I am other than a work in progress.
3. I got mugged in a place where I also got to meet with some great people, including one of the most amazing human beings I ever crossed paths with.
4. Was presented as a candidate to fill a position as a substitute teacher in the University where I'm studying my Masters.
5. Learned that some people just don't know what they're doing, but they do it anyway, consequences be damned because they're everyone else's fault anyway.

Having something to look forward to in this way is strangely humanizing. Thanks to everyone I became friends with over the past year for enriching the experience for me.
