it's late summer already! we had europe in june, so i'm ok with that having flown by, but july? what the hell happened there? it was july 1st for like 5 days straight, i blinked, then BAM it was august.
as i've gotten older, i've definitely felt time move faster. when you're a kid, waiting a week for something to happen felt like an eternity. nowadays the weeks lapse at an unreal pace and i always have a nagging sense that i'm behind. i hate that feeling. it might be different if there were legitimate deadlines approaching, but when i start questioning whether or not i've "wasted" a day simply by relaxing i have to wonder what i'm doing wrong. then there's the big question - how do i fix it?
it's not a quarter life crisis (like i'm really gonna make it to 100) i'm experiencing, but rather a checkup to make sure i'm on the right path, let alone going at the right speed. a few milestones have have probably helped to nudge me to reevaluate. val's on her second kid, leah morgan is due on november, bj is getting married in january, lily and brian both have birthdays this sunday and a large horde of people have returned to school. don't even get me started on the MBA v. PHD debate...not everyone can persue both (faisal). so what should i deal with first? ah, i agree, first things first - time for lunch...
