Update from my feeling old post

Last month I wrote how freaked out at the children walking around campus. I couldn't get over how young they looked. The flashback to highschool still haunts me. Well, I found out yesterday that some of those kids on campus, particularly the ones that were lined up outside my classroom, actually were highschool students. And they were HS freshmen to boot. Whew! That makes me feel a little better.Only a little mind you. I still sit in class and think that these kids don't remember Reagan, The Challenger, The Cold War, Beige M&M's, Getting to choose the Blue M&M's that replaced the Beige ones, The first war in Iraq, 8 track players, much less when CD players were new! Oh I could go on!
But, there are actually fourteen and fifteen year olds going to the same college that I do... wait a minute...I really am too old for this shit!
