Time

Just goes so much faster nowadays.

I know that sounds a little bit crazy; and the mathematician in me says its probably a relativity thing. One year is always one year, but when you are five its another fifth of your life, where now it is less than 5% !

It feels like yesterday I was celebrating the new year.

Maybe a week ago I was turning 21.

And about a month ago I was backpacking through South America.

When I was planning travelling again after that trip, 18 months seemed like such a long time to wait.

But now, that trip is fast approaching and I am a lot less prepared than I thought I would be.

Where is all that money I was going to save? And amazing Spanish skills I was going to have, and of course, why is my entire life not sorted out? I think the only bit that DID go to plan (by pure chance) is that I don't still live at home! Life aspiration achieved [unintentional Sims reference, backsliding a little bit there]  

Sometimes it is hard to remember life doesn't always go to the lovely plans you set out, but it is still fun to try.

Whilst those questions still linger, I am determined to get away. Especially if I am going to be starting full time work in March, this is the last chance I am going to get to get away.

As I work each day - and exams edge closer - and the end is almost in touch. I actually want time to slow down a bit, so I can have everything I want (like actually seeing some of my friends!) when I want it. I know this has been a choice, and it is a choice I have made deliberately. Its only 6 months, right? (with 4.5 down, only 1.5 to go)


Oh and Happy Mothers Day to all those mothers out there!

Another thing that makes me feel old - the number of people I know having children/getting married. I thought that phase of my life was at least another 3-5 years away.

And yet, some of my friends might still be at Uni for another 3 years, I guess just because we graduate high school at the same time doesn't mean everything else will be the same. Time plays a lovely roll in that. Time that rules our lives, that dictates so many of our decisions, but at the end of the day is a constant in all of our lives.
