Bildungsroman

"I saw a girl... woman... girl... today?"

At least, that's what my internal monologue is when I'm trying to summarise a patient case back. At what point do we stop being boys and girls and what-have-you and start being men and women and other more mature gender designations?

I wonder. I certainly don't feel like a man, whatever that is.

I remember people were saying that the HSC is the current coming-of-age but... it wasn't that bad, and I don't think I really learned too much from it all. (In terms of personal growth.)

Curious.
