Where has the time gone?

It seems like the semester just barely began, but now we only have two weeks left in it. It seems like time is just speeding by, and just leaving me behind. It seems like the future is coming to fast for me to know what i want to do with it. Every time i think of doing something, it seems like there is to little time to prepare for it, and i don't do as good as job at it as i could have. The comforting thing i guess is that three or four of my roommates are going to be staying here next semester, which i think will be the most i have ever stayed with from one semester to the next.
It is the fourth of July, the day we gained our independence from the British some 232 years ago. I just wonder if the founding fathers were able to look at where we are today, and tell us their thoughts about what they saw, i wonder what they would say to us. Sometimes i think they would be happy for all that we have accomplished, but other times i think they would be disappointed in what and how we handled some other situations.
We can't do anything about what we did in the past, besides learn from our mistakes. We can't put to much focus on the future, because than we will not be able to handle the present well enough to take care of the future. So, what i am trying to say is, try to live your life as if it was your last moment to live, fulfilling it with much enjoyment and pleasure, but preparing yourself to be able to live with that decision for the next 100 years, if you are able to live that long.
