promenyThere was a surprise thunder storm last night, and it rained pretty hard for a while. Of course, it is very clear right now. Such storms only seem to happen in the evenings and then during the morning it is like nothing ever happened. I was watching a movie a little bit before the storm began but then I stopped, because I don't have the patience to watch long movies anymore and the storm was more interesting in any case.
The movie was one of my favorites, but the main character in the movie is only about 14 or so, and I just can't relate to such young people anymore. I mean, I'm almost fucking 30; my life and the stuff that I think about is totally different. Those who were born when I was 14 would be 16 now. That's sort of scary.
Speaking about young people, I'm at the university right now (as I usually am, at this time) and I just can't connect to any of these younger students. Probably a good think that I can't, but the youngest of them are over a decade younger than me. I'm going to sit in a logic class today but I feel like I'm going to make a fool out of myself; I hope that I don't. That is actually a real fear of mine. I'm sure that if I just sit in the back of the class and don't say a word, though, I will probably be fine.
I felt this way five years ago, when I was beginning the program at MTSU. And those kids were only six years younger than me; I was only 24 myself. Lord, things don't get easier when you get older, or at least a fair amount of things don't.
