Is it me, or does time seem to slow down when you're trying to grow a beard?? Lol

"You cannot grow a beard in a moment of passion."
-G.K. Chesterton

...but you can shave it off in a moment of passion.  Stay the course, and let your beard grow.  Instead of dwelling on it, occupy yourself with other things for about the next 3 or 4 months.  You'd be amazed at how much faster the time will go.
