How does time fly and stay still at the same time?

Ok...just sitting here with the huge awakening that it's not only October 2012, but November is less than a week away. Part of me feels like I've been in a holding pattern while I've been taking classes, seemingly removed from the "regular" world agenda, but then part of me feels that the last year was only a week long as I notice the date of my last blog entry! Crazy! So, nothing really earth shattering with this entry. Just a nod to what seems an inconsistency in the concept of linear time. hahaha Oh yeah...and it's what...a couple of weeks until we "fall back" in time, right?...
