Three or four birthdays celebrated at once? That sounds like a lot for one day... Granted, I myself just happen to literally share the same day of year with two of my relatives / extended family members (as well as one of my mother's very best friends, but her I've little contact with) as far as birthdays go, but these birthdays aren't generally celebrated together. ...If for no other reason, then because said two extended family members, albeit individually either very close or fairly close to me, are from different branches of the family, and thusly any joint birthday would end up like one of those family reunions where no one knows who half of the people are ... and we'd have to rent some kind of mansion for that, since it is wintertime and I don't think there'd be a private house or restaurant to fit all those people.
 - As far as all the birthday-related well-wishes go, I think I shall postpone them to the (as far as messages and other means of contact which do not come with meeting in person go) more traditional, actual birthday. 

(...Unprecedented university degree? What is meant with the unprecedented-part?)

And about everything else ... I think I've expressed most of my thoughts, if (as seems to be characteristic for me these days) a bit incoherent manner. Although I'm quite certain I left out something I either forgot or didn't manage to fit in... Er... Yeah. Take time, give yourself time, and may things work out to the best possible outcome.

On a RP-related note, I [i]do[/i] intend to get the collab opening post finished before I go to sleep again; been a bit preoccupied with various matters over here.
