Question for Time

Can you slow down just a little? Or wait, let me rephrase that...can you speed up while I'm at work and then slow down when I'm not?

Reason I ask is because it's hard for me to believe that I've been in India for 3 1/2 months already. Where did the time go? I swear July wasn't on the calendar this year....same goes for August.

Sure, I'm only halfway through my traineeship, but if the first half went by this fast, the second half will surely fly by as well.

Have I made the most of my traineeship so far? I think so (not that there's much I can do about it now). Looking ahead to the next half, what's left for me to do?

The first half featured a number of weekend excursions, an absolutely incredible friendship, and one big emotional roller coaster. Maybe I have to look for other opportunities over the next few months. If I don't have anywhere else to travel to (assuming that weekends are the only travel time I have), maybe it's time to become better friends with the 20 or so other trainees here that don't live in my house. Or maybe it's time to explore parts of the Indian culture I haven't experienced yet. Maybe it's a time for personal reflection. Who knows?

In any case, it's very likely that the next few months will be completely different than the last few. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Thinking about the time passing always bring me to this stroke of bathroom grafitti genius....

Kent, i got confused about fruit flying like bananas...
but you are totally right about time flying here, and paradoxically this time hasn't any relation with the indian time, which goes really slow all the time.
i was feeling the same last week, about my time here, and i sat on the street and wait there for two hours and i saw the real time goes on...it was great, after that i realized that if it is possible to find parallel times at the same "time"...
