I think it's because you're getting older.When I was a little girl summer's seemed to go on forever,and a week seemed like a month,but now I'm 41 a week seems like a day and a year feels more like six months...it's a state of mind.

I live in Puerto Rico and we have no daylight savings time here. When the rest of the places I am familiar with changed I felt left behind. Now my days seem shorter and shorter. I wake up and the sun has been up for hours and it goes down by 6 here

As people age, their perception of time changes because they have lived more and time takes up a smaller percentage of their age to time ratio.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time
"Different people may judge identical lengths of time quite differently. Time can "fly"; that is, a long period of time can seem to go by very quickly. Likewise, time can seem to "drag," as in when one performs a boring task. The psychologist Jean Piaget called this form of time perception "lived time."
Time also appears to pass more quickly as one gets older. For example, a year for a five-year-old child is 20% of his entire life so far, however for a 50 year old adult a year is only 2% of his entire life so far; so with increasing age, each segment of time is a decreasing percentage of the person's total experience."

The only thing that speeds up as you get older is the passing of time, possibly as someone said gradually it is just a smaller % of your life

Psychologically specking, when you`ve young everything is new to experience. But when your old`ish, you have the same old experience. However, studying, solves that, your a big kid at heart.

no, as you get older each day is a smaller fraction fo your life as a whole.
Plus with advancing age you start to go gaga, of course.
