have you ever seen the movie Stardust?
well part of the plot is that a boy [Tristan] must cross The Wall into the other world or whatever to retrieve the just-fallen star as a token of his love for a girl [Victoria] and he has to do it by her birthday which is in a week.
well, tonight as I watched with friends, both new and old, I realized that the meat of the movie could not possibly take less than a week. I didn't count how many times they went to sleep or anything but the passing-time montages spoke for themselves. it seemed like much longer.
and it reminded me of Hawaii. tomorrow marks two weeks since I've been back. I could swear it's been two months. each individual day seems to go by insanely fast, but I feel as though I never even left. as though this summer was a terrific dream gone horribly wrong half-way through. either that or I'm on crazy pills [don't get me wrong, that's a perfectly reasonable possibility]. all day tomorrow I will be thinking "It's only been two weeks?? You've got to be kidding me."
It's starting to sink in that the next five months are going to be long ones.
