"I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad..."

"Carry you around when your arthritis is bad,"

Is it weird if you are able to see yourself slowly growing up in front of your own eyes? I see this happening to me, especially in the last few days and weeks. I see myself growing spiritually and intellectually. Time management is imperative for me to get done what I need and want. Things sem to be moving faster than ever. Classes, meetings, appointments, bad jokes, more classes and meetings, things that need to be organized. I have emails to respond to almost daily, things that i need to make sure are getting done by someone, books to read (mostly required now, some not), papers to write and events to attend. One sign to me that world is changing is that I have to put almost everything in my calender so that I will remember what to do and when to do it. I can remember some things that happen regularly, like classes and church services, but not much more after that. My social schedule seems to be slowly giving way to things I am involved with in school and church and my fraternity. Shooting pool has now become a one night event, where as it was easily a 3 or 4 night event a few years ago. I briefly went through a stage of sleeping in until 11 a.m. or so, but now my internal clock now wakes me at or before 9:15, whether I'm tired or not. Maybe this growing up and being responsible thing isn't as bad as I imagine. I'll always have my jokes. And Toys R' Us.
