So I’m in training for my new job. My classmates and I are all college students, so the average age is probably like, twenty or something. I’m the oldest student, being 36 and, luckily, my instructor is older than me, in his mid-forties.
But there are sometimes some amusing age differences.
For instance, we were playing twenty questions and at least half the class had no idea what a tribble was. I…don’t know how they didn’t know?
And then last night we were talking about celebrities and connections and the trainer mentioned that when he got drunk and passed out on his birthday, River Phoenix passed out and died a block away.
I pointed out that ‘the kids might not know who River Phoenix is.’
He laughed and said that was true, he probably died before most of the class was born. I checked, 1993, so yes, probably before more college students today were born. Time does go by fast.
oh, I can’t wait to see you again
it’s only a matter of time
jxnc:
People born in 1997 are turning 18 now do you know how scary that is
I am frightened of the constant progression of time and space
I can sense the sarcasm but I cannot detect the lie
… I graduated high school in 1997.
