A yi

Had planned to go skiing this weekend with a couple of friends, but wasn't sure if I would be over my cold by then, so I had to cancel.  Instead, I'll be staying put in the city.  There are few fun things going on, but nothing super crazy.  Regardless, a relaxing long weekend is better than an over tired one in the cold in which I will probably get worse.

It's one of my really good friend's bday today (midnight)!  23!  The song that Blink 182 alluded to when we rocked out to their songs back when we were in middle school.

It really hit me that I'm an adult a few weeks back.  I was visiting a second cousin.  In the past, I've always been introduced as "jie jie," (older sister) to friends and family.  However, when I began to do so this time, my second cousin intervened, refering to me as "A yi," (auntie).  It would be weird for her if I were considered "jie jie" she stated.  Wow.   Though "A yi" doesn't have the old stuffy connotation that it does in English, it's a general term equvalent to "Ms" or "Miss" in age, it was a bit of a shocker to be "a yi" for the first time.  The first one hits hard.

Its true.  I'm now one of the ones giving advice to college students.  I'm the one on the alumni panel. Woah, it's like seriously... next steps in life!
