31/03/09

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.”
It's the end of March already. Oh, how time flies by. Exams are getting closer, the end of school is drawing nearer, it's all happening so fast and yet at the same time, each day we have to go through seems at the time to go slow. I don't want to take my exams, I hate all my subjects, doubt I'll do well in them however, I won't assume I'm going to fail right here and now. I'll revise, and what ever happens, happens. Everything happens for a reason. And then, university. I can't wait to go. Get a whole new set of friends, friends who can be relied upon, friends for life. A whole new way of learning, new atmosphere, new teachers, new found independence, everything. I can't wait. In a way I just want to leave and go there right now, but for some reason, I just want to slow down. I feel like my life is flying by and I haven't accomplished anything. I know, I know....I'm only eighteen. Life doesn't begin until forty right? I wish. I've still got lots of time to accomplish what I want in life. Time. Time, time, time. No such thing as time. We invented it. It's man-made, doesn't actually exist. Why do we insist with living by 'time'. It gives us deadlines, stress, a reason to worry - are we late? are we early? what's the time? have you got the time? what time does my meeting start? I could go on. Without time, we wouldn't need to keep up with the constant fast pace of the world. There wouldn't be any rush do get things done. It would be calm, collected,quiet.
The noise of the world is getting me caught up, chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it, just need to breathe, I need to sleep. Slow - me - down.
