I always get the feeling that time passes faster and faster as I age. It's crazy. When I was younger, a hour was forever, a year might as well have been a lifetime, and ten years? Well I couldn't even remember that far back. Now, it's like, ten years ago was seriously 2000? That was so recently! Crazy. Also, it's already April. I only have one more month left until summer. It's so close. (Really, a month and a half, but who's counting?) It seems like I just came back from the Caribbean with Shaina last week.
Anyway, still in Florida, alone for the day, unexpectedly. We were going to go snorkeling, but that never panned out because Sarah decided to stay in Lake Placid with Phil (a terrible decision on her part). I worry.
It's not the worst case scenario, though, because yesterday was productive but I didn't get all the work I wanted to done anyway. I still have some work to do on my Tambopata debate project, which is taking me longer than I expected. It's not really a big deal now that I've gotten over the initial shock, but I still have a lot of work to do on it.
Yesterday was nice. I went out to meet Aaron's classmates, who were very nice. I socialized most with Simone and Jason, nice people. I didn't even mind all the medical talk, I thought it was cute, like Scrubs. Ha. This one guy there totally paid a prostitute to accompany him, which made me a little queasy because the last thing I wanted was to be seen as Aaron's prostitute. (Although I would like to think that I don't come off as a 6 foot tall silent Asian bimbo with too much eye shadow.) Hopefully. In situations like those, I always have interesting thoughts about the people around, because they are completely separate from anyone I know, and it's interesting to see how various social traits manifest themselves in other people. Like, I could spot several traits that I know the people I associate myself with have, and those people did too, even though they were older and in completely different phases of their lives. It's times like those that make me remember how common I am.
Today is Aarushi's birthday, so happy birthday, love. I miss you!
I'm sleepy. I might forgo homework for a little bit and go hang out by the pool. It's beautiful here again today. Sunny and gorgeous. I love being in Florida, but something tells me I wouldn't enjoy living here, because to me half the fun is being somewhere new and more beautiful than the place I belong in.
