Me in a few years...?

It seems like everyday anymore I find myself thinking, “time is flying by way too fast!”  It’s true too.  College classes just began last week, and it doesn’t seem like more than a month since they began in 2007.  I am continuing to get events from this past summer and the summer of ’07 confused, and find myself saying “was it really over a year ago since I did that?”  It’s crazy, and is kind of sad, too.

So, it should not surprise you that today is just blowing my mind in so many ways.  It can’t be true–I must have miscalculated!  Am I really 20 today?  Have I really been on this planet for two decades today?  Seriously, it doesn’t seem like that.  I remember when I was 10 and spent most of my day outside actually doing some activity.  Was that really a decade ago?

But alas, here I am–a jounior in college, somehow–majoring in Meteorology.  It really does not feel like I should be here…it seems like just yesterday I was worried about graduating high school and moving on to college.  Now, amazingly, I am already worried about graduating college and moving on from there.  It baffles my mind!

But I will try to enjoy my birthday, even if 20 is such an odd year.  You are no longer a teenager, but still are not a full adult… I’m in limbo!  I can hear the Twilight Zone music playing already!  I have more stressful things to worry about in my 20th year on this blue marble anyway, such as the 30 page research paper I have due by the end of the semester…

Celebrate!
