26, Associates Degree

In a couple of weeks I'll be 26 years old.  Time sure passes by fast.  I'm now in my mid twenties, supposedly the prime of my life and yet I still feel like I'm stuck in place.  All the people I knew, on the other hand, are moving at a decent pace with their lives.  A couple of weeks ago, I found out that one of my old high school acquaintances gave birth to a baby boy a year ago.  People I knew are already starting families, and yet here I am watching the days go by.  I really need to start moving with my life.  On a somewhat related note, I found out that one of my student coworkers is 29 years old.  This whole time I thought he was younger than I was.  No offense to him, but I really hope I don't end up like him, having to restart at such a late point in life.  Guess it's a signal for me to hurry up and get moving.

Aside from the upcoming birthday, the only other thing I can write about is that I'm going to receive my associates degree in computer and information science.  Don't know how much of a help it's going to be when it comes to job interviews, but hopefully the human resources folks will see it thinking that I'm technologically capable.
