I'm not in school anymore and haven't been for five years (not counting the masochistic practice of going to part time graduate school after work). However, I don't feel mature, at least from the vantage of me. I have more stuff, more experience, more opinions, but I don't feel more narrow, which I had always assumed would happen. I'm still willing to try something new and enjoy the anticipation of the unknown. My biggest problem is keeping constants in my life. I like starting over, practicing, refining, until it's in a state I like, and then I'm not interested anymore. Unfortunately, I'm far too structured. The results of responsibility such as a mortgage, a car, a marriage. These things are good, but they make me feel old. They reduce my spontaneity. Of course, the age of 27 is not old, and that's a little scary. P.S. I'm ambivalent over this type of self absorbed blogging, but I'll give it a try for awhile.
