Relative Time
The concept of time is pretty weird. I just finished balancing my checkbook. I do it every month ... I thought I did it every month. I was shocked to discover that the last time I balanced it was in August, right before school started. And that was the July statement!! Where the heck did the time go?? Luckily we handle our money pretty well and haven't had any setbacks to give us nasty surprises. No checks bounced, and I actually had more money in the account than I thought I did. The last 3 months have flown by when I judge it by one set of standards. And yet when I look forward, it feels like it's a VERY long time to June. But I know that it's suddenly Thanksgiving, and tomorrow it will be Christmas. I guess it all depends on whether you're anxious for something to start, or something to end!

I know exactly what you mean. I still feel like I'm at the very beginning of the school year, and it is 1/3 gone already! Of course, first semester always goes faster in Texas because it's about 3 weeks shorter than second semester. I think it also has something to do with getting old!
Indeed. Plus, you're a busy person.
