It's already February...?

[Chez Daja]

I can't really believe it. It's already the 7th of February and so far I've got hardly a thing done this year.

The regeneration of my immune system has been hard, considering I was told to keep out of stressful situations which may cause me to lose my voice again, or have another emotional break-down.

I've got so much shit with family and friends going on right now and it's just stressing me out further.

Another thing is, I'm trying to find a job, and was offered a place at a garden center. Sent off my CV, app and cover letter the other night.

And then there's college. I've set my standards high, shamefully, planning on applying at a prostegious art and design university around the Epsom area in which I would be flung straight to a full and busy education in the areas of art and graphic design.

And through it all, I've realised...

How the Hell is it February already?

I'm meant to be going to see my boyfriend next month (although this is not yet confirmed from his side, so I'll need to try and get an answer sometime before the 15th/20th of this month...) and that'll mean it was six months since I last saw him, which doesn't feel like it's been a long time.

I know it has been, but holy shit, isn't time flying fast?

What do you guys think?

And also, are you glad time is flying fast?

I know I am. My life here at the moment is depressing, and I want to start my own shit as soon as possible. Early twenties loom before me. It scares me, but maybe I should suck up my fear and be glad about it. I have a few years until then, but it still sort of freaks me out...

Opnions?

I dunno. I haven't really noticed the passage of time all that much. Each week has seen me looking forward to some event that was going to take place on one or two days, and while time approached that day, the rest of my time has kind of been spent existing. I'm not working, and I haven't really been looking for a job, either, but I'm going to work in Yellowstone for five months, starting in April, so I guess there isn't a great need to be out looking for one. I suppose I could be looking for a part time job, though.

Most of the time, I've been looking forward to hanging out with my friends, and showing one of them in particular the progress I've made in my story thus far. (It only has about a hundred or so pages left, I think.) I've kinda been enjoying my non-doing-anything time that I've been having lately, although a part of me really feels like doing something. Probably because in years past, I'd at least be in school right now (I finished with school last Springtime... then went back this fall for another semester, but I'm not going back now.)

Time has not been passing fast or slow for me. I've barely been noticing whether it's passed much at all. I'm in kinda a limbo state right now, I think. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Now that you mentioned this, it does feel like time has flown fast now. It feels like yesterday was barely New Year's and now were already in the second month of this usually. I really don't think much of whether has time flown by fast or not, but it definitely has.

But I definitely know how you feel though. It does seem stressful this month. I'm already looking for a job too and now that soccer season's almost over, I'm returning to track and I have to maintain my grades and stuff. Its really hard for me because I don't have much free time for myself. Usually, I'm always doing something for either my family or for school. Even when I come on here, I'm doing my homework and typing on here at the same time. But that's usually how my life is though....

And to answer your question, I'm glad that time I flying by fast. I can't wait till summer so I can finally take a long vacation or something. At this point, I feel like I can use it.

I want time to speed the hell up. All I'm doing at the moment is wading through a college course I'm not really that enthusiastic about.

However, come September, I'm going to University to study Politics and International Relations, which I am enthusiastic about. Plus, I'll be moving away. I really can't wait.

I'm just sitting here, typing essays and applying for jobs in Glasgow, counting the days until I escape (218 and counting.)

[Yuki-onna]

It's what?

Oh. THAT month. The one with all the paper hearts and blunt arrows and men in tiny, yellowed diapers.

I'd have no idea, because I'm usually too drunk to comprehend such menial things as time.

I'm almost 30.
It's time to die.

[Freedom]

Well, at least it's considered at the beginning of a year. Exams r a long time away and we still can do whatever we need. Yes, time definately has flown a lot. o_O

[Georg Prime]

Ah, February, It is February isn't it?

Anywayz, I guess time has flown fast, I have not really been doing much at all the last few months so my I haven't really had any concept of time lately. Honestly, It takes me awhile to just realize what day it is and the date. February is different though, it's the month of love, black history, and more importantly my birthday! So i guess with that in mind, I can't believe I'll be 20 in a few weeks.

I've really been stressing too much to be that excited though. My life has been too much of a mess lately to be happy to celebrate the day I was born. I hope the celebration atleast involves consumption of alcohol. My friend Laura wants to hang, rent Saw III and get high though. It would be a Valentines/Birthday party in one I guess. So that could be fun, especially cause I haven't gotten high since around Christmas time! Not really much to look forward to on birthdays anymore, not like when I was younger atleast. Maybe If i was turning 21 that'd be worth celebrating, but 20? Eh, who gives a rats ass. I hate winter and all this god damn snow. When is summer going to be here??

[Caije]

I was praying January could fly by cos the second series of lost Resumes now. HEHEHEH. Cant wait.

I agree though, this year is going to fast for my liking, its like zoom, if ya know what i mean?

[Helter Skelter]

February. That's right. I'm turning 18 on the 14th. Yeah, that's also the same day what Valentine's Day is on. ROFLGASM.

More has happened this month than last month. So far, this year looks like it'll be the same as all my previous years: not bad, a little bland, but I'll be generally content with my situation and surroundings once again. I've been seeing my girlfriend for around 15 months, which is pretty cool, and I'm happy with that. We're going to have our own little night in to celebrate my birthday. We have nights in at least once a week anyway, but this one should be better.

All this will be completely meaningless and uninteresting to anyone who reads it, but I'll also add that I got a welcome letter and information booklet from Caledonian University, which means that my application has been forwarded for consideration, meaning that the fact I sent it off a couple of weeks late is now irrelevant. It means I have a chance. I know it's not even the best University in Glasgow, but it's a damn University, and I'm grateful that someone as lazy as I am has a half-decent chance of becoming a graphic designer at all. Damn.

Anyway, that's a summary of my February so far. Fast and bulbous.

[OmniTense]

February...

The month I was born...

Meh!

The only thing it means to me is that Winter is leaving...
Irritating, I haven't even finished all my books and we didn't have even one good snow. I suppose it does mean that I can start planting my garden soon! Oh and the spring-blooming orchids need tending to if I'm going to get them to blossom.

Let's see. I've got to finish this semester...
*thinks*

So much to do...and so far I'm not doing any of it!

[Cloud Strife X]

Yeah, time has gone by really fast. It's been like that for me all last year, though - I still feel as though the school year only started a few months ago, though it started last August. And the days don't last nearly long enough, even though every day is supposed to be longer and longer (and here in Norway, it's an especially pronounced change).

It sucks that time's going by faster than normal for me, as I have a load of essays that need to be completed very, very soon if I want to get my diploma, and they're not done, or even started, for that matter. In fact, I have an essay that I need to be doing right now. What am I doing typing this instead? Ah well.

And on the subject of Valentine's Day: I don't hate it like lots of other folks do; it's just another day in February. As somebody I know here put it, though, romantic things seem more romantic nowadays if they're not done on Valentine's Day, because you're doing them when you're not being forced to. Hmmm.

[MiwaMiwa]

Yeah, time is flying fast. In someways it's good, and in someways it's bad. At least, summer will be here before we know it but it doesn't give us enough time to savor the memories, I guess you could say. Or get my homework done on time. ^^;

I guess it could be because I am in college though, and in college, you know...one class a day, don't have to be at school at 7:25 ^_____~
A lot more fun time for me, which passes VERY quickly.

Chez, which school are you planning on applying to? I was going to transfer to an art school for photography, but I'm not sure if that's still what I want to do. Hmm.

[Chez Daja]

It's in Britain.

It's in a town called Epsom about a hour away from where I live.

Luckily new course don't start until September, so that's not something I have to worry about RIGHT this second, but still, with time floating away as quickly as it is, that'll be here in no time!

[Govinda]

Chez, does your course involve UCAS at all? If so, you do need to worry about it right now, very very right now. I'm not trying to get on your case and patronise or anything, I'm just trying to advise you, as my boyfriend made a timing mistake involving his Art course which has caused some problems. You should check the college's website or prospectus, and if your desired course mentions the words 'Route B' anywhere, you need to start thinking about UCAS. Which is really fun, as you might imagine.....I hope that that's not the case for you. Good luck with it!
