Plan # 852 (approximately)

You know how old people think everyone grows up so fast? Well, I know from experience that time seems to get faster as we grow older, but it's only because we're preoccupied. After all, during the summer, when there's nothing to do, I get so frickin' bored, and can't wait for school to start. But other kids who have things to do aren't like that.

So my plan? Instead of expecting to know what time it is, acknowledge I don't know, and look at a clock. This way I'll end up thinking of time as it really is, and when I'm old I'll probably be the only one who doesn't expect kids to be the same height and age a year later. But it is possible to be the same height a year later. I went from being four-foot-ten to four-foot-eleven. You tall people probably don't understand what it's like to be just one inch closer to five feet, and only one inch away after waiting so long to reach five feet. It's agonizing, dammit.
