awake and in dreamland,
i have little concept of days anymore.
i mean, i usually know what day it is,
and even what time it is,
but as far as where the days go,
i have no clue.
i just punched through a month like it was just a day or two.

it's weird to think that in just a few years,
this is how things will always be.
i'm just now coming to the realization that soon there will come a time without school or summer vacations,
soon there will be just work and life as the years go by.
it's kinda scary to think about,
removing such a dominant facet of one's life in just one fell swoop,
forever changing one's perception of time and how to spend it.

in the years to come,
i anticipate both a new sense of freedom and a new sense of restriction.
responsibility is such a drag...
