You know, tonight i had dinner and hung out with some friends from high school that i haven't seen in a while, and though it was great, it made me relaize how far apart our lives really have become. Its not anyones fault and its not necessarily a bad or good thing, just one of those natural things that occurs when people are moved geographically and by life's circumstances. Here I am with at least a somewhat sturdy job, with people depending upon me, with a possibility of a long term job, and there they all are, in college and working to attend school, instead of attending school to fit in with work, as I find myself doing. But what can one do, this is just what happens. I know I need ot be better about keeping in contact with people from my past, and to not let us get so out of touch, but one day can turn into 5 or one week into a month so easily, and then it feels odd to write. Its also odd because this is the first time where we all- or at least most of us can drink. Since I ws 17 I've gone to OP and Ria has talked about the day we can get strawberry daquiris and have them not be virgin, and tonight I at least was able to do so, and it was really really strange. When do we cross that line from childhood to adulthood? I know it wasn't a week ago today. I don't think I could pinpoint one certain time, or even stretch of time, and i think that making an arbitrary age like 21 to say now you are old enough and mature enough to drink is so foolhardy, but i guess its the only way to do it. Anyways, I'm leaing a field trip tomorrow, and i'm feeling really unprepared, so I'd better get to bed so I can at least feel rested.
