Where Has My Youth Gone?

I was blog-hopping with that "next blog" button up there at the top, when I landed my eyes on the date of one of the entries I was reading.
I stared at it in disbelief.

And then---
I realized that it is already November.
I know it's the second day of the month, that Sunday was hallowe'en, that yesterday was a national holiday...
But still... November?!
I mean, my birthday wasn't that long ago was it? Is Christmas THAT close?
And my GOODNESS! Exams in January.

This cannot be true. It just cannot.
Tell me what it means to waste one's life away...
