Time

It doesn't seem possible to me that I embarked on my college experience almost eight weeks ago.

I mean, wasn't it just yesterday that I bawled as my family left me in my dorm room alone...?

*checks calendar*

Nope. That was 53 days ago.

It was 52 days ago that I met the sousies.
It was 51 days ago that I started "Hell Week."
It was 49 days ago that we had our sectional party. Hehehehe.
It was 45 days ago that I started classes.
It was 40 days ago that I marched for the first time in Kinnick Stadium.
It was 38 days ago that I made the long drive back up to Iowa City. I was sad because I wouldn't be back home for a long time.
It was 34 days ago that I came down with a cold. A cold that would last for like THREE WEEKS.
It was 33 days ago that I got puked on by a guy in Kinnick Stadium.
It was 28 days ago that I cried after taking my Calculus quiz because I knew I had bombed it.
It was 26 days ago that Iowa lost to Iowa State. And I was sick as a dog. Not a great day.
It was 22 days ago that I was prescribed antibiotics for my horrible sickness.
It was 20 days ago that I joyously left Iowa City, ready for an awesome weekend at home. Plus insane coughing.
It was 19 days ago that I left for Ottumwa in the morning to see two of my best friends.
It was 13 days ago that I sat on a bus for like seven hours with drunk people... FUN. Lol
It was 10 days ago that I took my Calculus mid-term exam. Not a good day.
It was 7 days ago that I basically had a break down while overthinking every aspect of my life.
It was 6 days ago that I spent a night with two of my best friends. :-)
It was 5 days ago that I spent another night with even more of my best friends. :-)
It was 13 hours ago that I turned in my Calculus quiz and actually felt good about it!
It was 1 hour ago that I started to think about this...

How is it that I can remember almost every day of my first eight weeks up here? I haven't keep any sort of diary or journal at all, yet I can pull each and every one of the events from that list off of the top of my head.

Funny how time works...
