The movement of TIME

How is time going SO fast? I don't remember it ever going this fast. We are into week #7 of school....well, actually for me I think of it as being week #13, given that I studied Greek for 6 weeks and did not get a break so the way I am feeling right now is exactly where I should be for this stage of the semester.

Did I tell you that we have the best apartment view on campus? Well, we do.
I am sitting at my desk and if I swivel my chair around I can see the Sears Tower and the tower from Old Main. I have started to take pictures from the decking as after this year is over, I will be able to pictorially track the seasons in all their glorious colors. Shadows even in the middle of the day cast longer than they did 2 months ago, the mornings bring wonderfully crisp chills though I sit in my fleece, hot coffee in hand thankful that I have endless amounts of heat available at the touch of a button (well, not so much...i have to turn the dial).

So, back to time. It's Wednesday already and tomorrow is Thursday. Soon we will be into another weekend though next week will be delightfully class free, on account of fall break. I am not sure whether I think that routine makes time go faster or lack of routine turns time and days into an endless hours of freedom; I suppose that also depends on whether or not life is enjoyable so it is for me right now. That doesn't stop me from wishing that I could put the breaks on our days and want for the weeks, days, hours and seconds to slow down so that I can enjoy them all the more. We only have so many days and are called to make the most of every moment.

With that in mind, I need to go and study for my next midterm.

Keeping you posted on time....
