I've spent my 24 years and one month counting. We are 5 days into the semester and 90 days from Christmas. I've eaten 750 calories today and burned 450. I've lost no weight. I swam 2000 yards. I watched 30 minutes of TV. My parents have been married 27 years today. I get married in 11 months. I type 200 words per minute. I have 18 pairs of underwear and 5 bras, enough to get me through 2 solid weeks without laundry. I spent $10 on laundry detergent yesterday and paid $390 in rent today. I have $700 in the bank. I owe Visa $1000. I've been to the funeral home two times in the past 6 months with the same 12 relatives and no friends. In the time since the caterpillar infestation in June I've lost one alcoholic uncle, one troubled student, and one good friend. It's adding up.
