Happy birthday, Douglet! Is this the big 20?
If so, then:
1) Welcome to adulthood and not being a teenager anymore.
2) Welcome to your third decade.
3) You are no longer getting stronger. You will now begin to age.
Have a great birthday!

Well... Almost three years. In fact, three years ago today I landed at LHR to start the month I spent in London, which was my last month of medical school.
I officially graduated 3 June 2005, if I read the Latin on my diploma correctly.

The issue is that the University of Michigan has its pride shoved so far up its arse that it feels that it seems more regal (or something) if it uses Latin on its diplomas.
So they issue diplomas that the diplomates can't read.
Now, Stanford University, on the other hand, uses English. Because that's *not* a dead language (yet).
