Never Never Land

I've been feeling particularly grown-up-ish lately.

Between disputing utilities bills with the utility company, comparing graduate schools, and job searching I have very much felt like a big bad adult. I haven't minded it much, but it is an odd feeling. There is something to be said for being a "grown-up" person, but there is a bittersweetness to leaving your childhood for good.

Perhaps the fact that I went back home for fall break this weekend that I have the sensation of limbo. While I pay for everything on my own, when I go home I still feel very much a child. In many ways I suppose I would equate my experience with a child playing dress-up in her mother's clothes. It doesn't fit quite yet, but it will someday.

Welcome to "adult adolescence".
