Nobody likes you when you're 23

If you don't recognize the lyrics, that's a line from the Blink 182 song "What's My Age Again?"  It's somewhat relevant because I was feeling rather "eh" about turning 23. I suppose that part of the reason is that everyone still thinks I'm approximately 19 years old. I am positive that everyone is going to think that I'm a student at the school that I student teach at.  There is no way that anyone is going to see me and think that I'm old enough to be a student teacher.  Everyone tells me "It's a good thing to look young!"  Yeah, when you're in your 30's or 40's it may be.  But when you're 23 years old and you look like you're 21 at most, it's a little annoying.  Oh well, there are worse  things.  

Anyways, it turned out to be a great 23rd birthday!  My parents came and we walked around Uptown and had a delicious Mexican dinner at Los Potrillos.  When I returned to my apartment after dinner, I discovered that my roommate, Jessie, had planned a surprise party for me! She made a huge bowl of guacamole and brought delicious mini cupcakes from the new bakery in Uptown.  It was a lot of fun. 

I still can't believe I'm 23 years old.  I don't feel that old AT ALL.  I will not let Blink 182 bring me down though.
