that's two years of my life i can never get back

interesting fact:

in korea, they start counting your age from 1 instead of from zero. also, in a school context, your age is given equal to all those in your school class. for example, all students in the earliest class of the kindergarten where i work give their age as 5 years old, since they were born in 2001, even those who are not yet 5 (or 4, as the case may be). therefore, by korean standards, i am 25 years old. shoot. and i wasn't prepared at all for my quarter-life crisis.
