Things That Make Me Feel Old

  • Two of my students are writing biographies about a famous person who is one year older than I am.
  • A guy at FHE told a story about how he and his friends started a school-wide food fight, and I felt sympathy for the administration.
  • When I went to check out a DVD in the LRC I almost passed as a professor (I wished I could have because then I could have checked it out).
  • I clearly remember events from 15 years ago.

Hahahaha! I keep having moments where I feel just ancient, too, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. OH! Here's one from today: we had these Scholastic mini-magazines out that the kids were reading, and I asked them to be careful with them (since the pages were those thin ones that pull off the staples really easily). Someone said that they were super old, and I checked the publication date--1993 or something. It made me feel very odd and rather old when I realized that none of the kids in my class had been born when those magazines were printed. Good gravy... :)
