Summer Vacation, Day 8
Dear Diary,

"Someone once suggested to me that time seems to go
by increasingly fast because each day is a smaller part
of your whole life. I don't know whether there's any
truth to this or not, but time does really seem to fly by."
Like him, I have no idea about whether or not this is true or not. It's an interesting idea, though. Basically it means that as the summer goes by time will seem to speed up as the summer goes by. This is encouraging, given that right now it seems as though no matter what happens this summer I'm still going to be living my life day to day, just waiting until August 19th rolls around. Then I'll fly off to DC and move back in to McDowell T13 and restart my real life. Seriously, that's what it feels like right now: as though I've put just about every aspect of my real life on hold. Summer vacation feels like more than just a vacation, it feels like a whole other world, an alternate universe where people are just NOT normal.
I'm trying really hard not to compare my family to the families of my friends from school. Every family has its issues, but somehow I feel as though mine is just a little more messed up than normal. Then again, the family freshest in my mind is Dan's, and his family is not normal in that they're all sooooooo nice. Like I think I've already said, I didn't really think people like that existed in real life, or that a family could exist so harmoniously anywhere but in books and the movies. So, since they're so unrealistic, I can't compare my family to them. Doesn't change the fact that my 15-year-old brother is already getting on my nerves. He and his friend JP are just...jackasses. He's not this bad when he's on his own, but god, JP is a moron and totally screws everything up. Blah.
I took out tons of books from the library today. Or rather, from the libraries, since I went to the two branches of the OPL that are within walking distance of my house. I'm going to (attempt to) keep a summer journal of books and music and movies and other stuff. Basically a more focused, less meandering account of my summer than what will inevitably end up here. summertime05 is where this is going to be. It's not much right now, but I've got some ideas.
Then again, I've always got ideas. It's putting them into action that's the difficult part.
Love, Anna
