time is money?

Okay, so instead of doing my work, i am going to write about my thought of the week. i've talked about it with a few people, and i am still thinking about it and if it actually means anything or if it just means nothing.

So, i have to write in the journal for my macroeconomics class. weird, right? well, i'm supposed to talk about how economics relates to my life or whatever.

here is the thought i came up with while trying to finish this journal to get my 27 points or something.

Time is money. that's what we say. time is valuable. use time wisely, we say. we spend time. we waste time. we save time. we invest time. in others, in hobbies, in skills, in our pets, in our iphones. we manage time. we budget time. so, time is linear, it's one-time-use only. you have a minute, you use it, (or waste, or save it) and then it's gone. we talk about time largely in economic terms.

so, next question, what does that mean for relationships with people?
are relationships just commodities that we use or invest in where it seems most beneficial to us, most profitable? do we auction them off when that part of us dies, or when we need to clean out our house and go shopping for new furniture?
and is this commodification (real word?) of relationships okay?

or should time be something we share? something we experience with others?

consequently, i still talk about spending time. because time is money. ?

dear diary

Dear Diary,
mood: overwhelmed

I am sorry I have neglected you. But, I am overwhelmed. The to-do list is growing longer and my ability to stay awake for extended periods of time is shrinking. I am overwhelmed. with what i have learned, and with what i have yet to learn. with the disparity i find between my understandings of this world and the understandings held by those closest to me. with the unrelenting desire i have to screw school and go sit on the beach and read Harry Potter and books about Morocco.

4 weeks, people. count them. it's that time.
that time where there are 4985724 things to do and .0007 % motivation to do them.

it's that time where some feel the need to pull closer to friends for fear of losing them over the coming months of absence, and were some feel the need to pull away from friends to make the goodbyes feel less painful.

it's that time where you tell your silly heart to give up because it would be pointless to find someone so close to summer, that time when you feel like things will be so different in such a short time from now..on the other side of summer...fall, autumn.

but we welcome the changes that the dry, warm summer brings. a time to breathe, to rest, to prepare, to explore, to adventure.

some new developments:
Morocco is for sure. august 28th. 3.5 months. hey hey.
living in a trailer for five weeks in july/august? YOU BET.
living with 11 other amazing people for 8 weeks in the colorful community of city heights? most definitely.

also, haikus are hip. try it.

welcome, summer sun
pull me away from this place
bring new adventures
