Where did all the time go?

Today I woke up, ate breakfast, and then fell back asleep. After a myriad of strange dreams, upon waking up I proceeded to apply to more colleges in hopes that I will not become an epic failure at life. In the meantime, I have learned that one of the greatest disappointments in life is pouring a bowl of cereal, looking forward to eating it, getting your spoon, then opening up the refridgerator... only to find that there is no milk! It's an absolute tragedy, and I don't think that sweet tea tastes very good with Fruity Pebbles. I've started reading Pride and Prejudice again for the second time in two years - I'm enjoying it a lot better this second time than when I was obligated to read it and write an essay on it in tenth grade. Maybe because I'm (can you believe it) older?
Gosh, that seems so long ago. It's incredible how quickly things change and go by. Here I am, it's the first day of August, and what I wouldn't do to go back 3 months to May when I first got here in Macon and had the whole summer before me. How did the whole summer flee so fast? I wish I didn't have to go. My impending return to Florida, dare I say it, fills me with a sense of sadness and dread. It's going to be such a culture shock to return after being up here so long - it's the longest time I've ever been away from there. Granted, I'll be back for visits, and for college... but until then, I'm really, truly going to miss this place and the people here. With all of my heart. Sweet tea, Zoey, the Kuckuck's, extended family and friends, the sky, 2am trips to Waffle House, sitting on the front porch, Zaxby's, Kroger, everything... and of course, Joshua. At least some consolation that I do possess, is that it will soon be fall. Something about fall just makes me happy. The year is winding down, things feel slower and more laid back, my birthday is right around the corner, the weather (maybe...) gets cooler, and everything just feels far improved. The rest of the year pales in comparison to me. I still have yet to get my license, but it's first on the to-do list when I return. That will definitely improve things, too. Anyways, I'll write more soon. Lacy.
