Horror

I realized tonight that many of the students beginning university in September will be exactly ten years younger than me. Ten years. The children of the eighties are almost through; soon we'll be seeing kids born in the nineties.

In related news, September will mark the beginning of my tenth straight year of postsecondary studies. A friend from my cohort is thinking of dropping out of the program; she's tired of having no money, particularly when she already has the necessary training for teaching primary school, a job that she enjoys. I can't blame her.

Ten years.

What am I doing with my life?

*pause*

Okay, back to what I hope will be my last night on this report.

I hear ya. This summer I had to ask my class if they still understood my "Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?" reference.

Sigh...

I think that means assigning the movie as homework on a weekend is appropriate.
