23 years and 19 days

The end of the Fall/Winter term is fast approching at York University. The week after next and finals have already started for me. My first one was yesterday. I have two more next week, and another in April not to mention an assignment and a research project due on the 2nd. Yeah, I'm a busy girl. A very busy girl. I've become even more of a hermit because I don't have the time or energy to do anything other than read anf type. Even then I can only type education related things. Seriously. I've been staring at my computer screen for 10 minutes trying to pound out a decent blog entry.

I came up with two options. Unable to decide on which one I would focus on, I have decided to blend to completely unrealted topics in to one entry.

First topic. My Birthday was on Thrusday. I am 23. I don't feel 23. hell, I didn't even feel 22. I think I stopped aging about 7 months after my 20th birthday. At that point I was well in to my first year of university and had adapted well enough to survive and I stuck there. Worse, I have 2 more years a head of me. Anyway. I aged. I didn't really do anything to commerate that fact, but there it is. I am 23 years old. 23 is a scary number. 24 will be scarier. My mother was married by the time she was my age, married so long she was no longer eligable for the newlywed game. Hell! she was knocked up with me by her 23rd birthday! Not that I should be comparing myself to her cause that whole marriage thing didn't work too well for her now did it.

I kinda hate birthdays now. After 19 they aren't fun anymore. They become reminders of all the things you have yet to accomplish and how much time you've wasted. Or is that just me? I think I should just stop counting birthdays. Yeah, ill start marking my progress through life by...um.... Leap Years. There are fewer of them so I'll only have to have apanic attack every 4 years. So there. Thats my new plan.

Oh crap. There's one next year...... Oh well.

on to the second topic. Wanna know how long it takes to lsiten to 1500 songs on iTunes? 19 days. Yeah, it takes 19 days. I was scrolling through my iTunes library eariler this month and I noticed how many songs I had that I have never even listened to and I thought 'Hey, whats the bloody point?'. I always end up listening to the ones in playlists but I haven't bothered to makea new play list months. So I decided to listen to every one and delete the ones I didn't like and put the ones I did like in to play lists so I'll stop listening to the same 82 songs over and over. I figured it would take a week. After all I could skip all the Christmas songs, theres 92 right there I could skip. And the movie soundtracks could be skipped, there 116 gone. And the 82 I always listen to can so be skipped. That about 1500 songs out of 1716 (I can't be bothered to actually count). How bad could it be right? I mean I'm stuck to my computer these days anyway.

Yeah, playlists didn't get made (though a few were expanded) and I think I deleted maybe 20 songs. Most of those were duplicates.

But anyway, if you ever wanted to know how long it takes to get through that many songs, now you know. Nearly 3 weeks.

4.9 days my ass, iTune you liar!
