11:45

Aggie is my families housekeeper/nanny/traveling-maid-that-will-make-you-dust-on-saturday-mornings-if-you're-under-15. And she is literally our entire families housekeeper: my parent's, my grandmother's, my cousin's, occassionally my aunt's, and occassionally my dad's business'. She also has amusing and catching sayings that get repeated multiple times in a day. Today the one that came to mind while sitting in church was "twwweellllvee-a-clock, it about time, twwwelllvvee-a-clock; dats all to dem cleaveland girls." This saying applies to any situation whether you're 30 minutes early or 30 minutes late, or if it's 4pm or 7:30am.

Well, anyways, the reason I thought of this saying was because it slightly defines the next step in my life (and I use life very loosely in the social life sense) that is occuring/about to occur. And with all things I guess this one needs explaination, since most people can't understand the inner workings of my mind and probably most don't want to. But anyways, I realized tonight that I'm kind of just hanging out there in the awkward place between college and the real world. I don't have a job like the rest of my friends that graduated this year and yet, I don't really feel like I'm still in college (since I did graduate) even though I still have six months of class left. And even then I have six months of internship in a different city (well hopefully in a different city than montgomery). So I can't really make any long time plans for montgomery (clubs, church, projects, completely moving into a room), even my gym membership ends in october. And then I'll hopefully move to Atlanta for at least six monthes, but I can't really make long term plans for Atlanta because I'm not positive that I'll be able to find a job there. So I'm just kind of here... not really in college, not really working... not quite living in Montgomery, not really living in LaGrange and not in Atlanta. So now I'm having trouble relating to some of my friends that are getting jobs and entering the "real world". And feel slightly old when I hang out with my friends that haven't graduated yet. It really is just weird when you go back and try to go to a college party.

So here I am, in limbo land; however it has made me read at a faster rate than I ever have in my entire life. This summer I have read 1. The Golden Compass, 2. The Subtle Knife, 3. The Amber Spy Glass, 4. Deception Point, 5. Harry Potter 5, 6. Harry Potter 6, 7. Eragon, 8. The Strange Incidence of the Dog in the Night-time, 9. Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination. NINE BOOKS. Now I know on a normal person's reading ability nine books in three monthes is no big feat, but this probably about 1/3 of all the books that I've ever read. And I also made B's or higher in all of my summer classes. This is also why I used the reference to social life so loosely.

Oh, yeah, how it relates to Aggie's saying. I feel that whenever I do get a job and settle down somewhere, there's going to be someone saying "twwweellllvee-a-clock, it about time, twwwelllvvee-a-clock; dats all to dem cleaveland girls" and right now, even though I'm so close, it just isn't quite 12 o'clock... it's about 11:45 on my watch. But then again, maybe things never really do reach 12 o'clock, maybe you just continue to change and never really get settled, which I guess wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. I personally would get a lot of books read.
