Like Six Whole Months!

-I mean, it's like six whole months!
Half of a year!
-How many weeks is that??
More than a semester!
-25% done with our entire time here!

This is just part of the conversation Kelley and I had yesterday about how long we've been here. Yes, today marks my six month anniversary of being in Kiwi land. Six months!! Thinking back... it doesn't seem that long. But being in the States seems like it was ages ago. Such is life. What have I been doing this whole time? I don't even know. All I know is: I like it. Good choice, me!

It's funny that suddenly a year doesn't seem so long anymore. I don't know which is better. When I was three, I thought in terms of hours. Wow, it's already three pm? I'm late for my nap! Wait, I still think that... Then, when I was in high school, I thought in terms of days. Now, I think in terms of weeks. And I am shocked when a week has slipped by, unbeknownst to me. Crap, what's the date?! When I get older, will I think of life in terms of months? Good Lord, it's August?! All I know is life is starting to move so fast, I have to hang on for dear life. Good, bad, who knows? It's just life.

In another note of the passage of time: Happy Birthday, Beth! (Yes, today is the second for me which complicatedly makes it Lisa's birthday and not Beth's birthday, but right this second it's Beth's birthday in the US... my head hurts...)
