Speeding Through the Omer

I must say that this is the first year that I've tried to count the Omer.  This is seemingly a real pain in the touchas as one might think.  Not quite.  I say it breifly every night after sundown when I go to a prayer book and go to the counting the Omer Section.  Takes me all but 1 minute or 2.  But that said, hear this. Today is the 8th day of the Omer.  That means that it has already passed a full week and there are a total of 7 weeks.   So I must tell you that it feels like I just started counting and here I am on the 2nd week already. 
This is all good and fine, but I tell you that I think that the reason we count the Omer now in my thoughts is to make this 7 week process go by quicker.  And if the first week which passed in a split second is anything like the next 6, Shavuous will be here in no time at all.  In the past, I remember it feeling as if it was a long prolonged process.  So if you do the count and keep it, the time goes really fast.  Like a split second I am going to think.  We will see.   Thanks.
