Where did all the time go?

So its been months...hell the new year passed before I've gotten back to this. A lot has changed. In the time since my last post I turned 21 (which surprisingly the amount I drink has gone down) and moved to a completely new apartment. I got my associates degree in Baking and Pastry Arts. I've done a lot of thinking in the interim.

Life is uniquely different these days. How much of my world has really changed? I've nearly quit smoking (not for my health but for my wallet) and even that in and of itself is so strange. I'll admit I dont condone my bad habits but I never thought I would be villainized for them either. It seems that cigarrettes with the constant price changes on them are gonna go the way of the dodo because people see it so badly. I know what I'm doing to myself thank you very much, now piss off and let me use my stress relieving cancer sticks in peace will ya? In a single year its gone up THREE dollars. I barely afforded the 6 dollars a pack I used to have going for me, and now they're close on nine. That kinda hurts thinking that people distrust others to make their own choices and tax the living crap so its fast becoming something that will no longer be a choice. To my benefit I've started smoking a pipe instead. SO HA SOCIETY!

I'm starting to face the idea that pretty soon I'm not gonna be a college student. I'm not gonna be a student period(though you can argue that in society we are all students because we never stop learning). I'm gonna have to be a real adult! Ironically I take this line from a comic of all things but I think it sums up what I'm feeling right now


"When I was a child. I spoke like a child

Thought like a child

Felt like a child.

Now that I have become a man,
I have put away childish things.

But I unpacked most of them when I got there"
