My kid is getting older, I&#8217;m getting older, there aren&#8217;t enough hours in the day or the week or the month or year. Time passes more and more quickly as you get older, it has something to do with dopamine, I read it in a magazine once, before the internet was a big thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, today my gratitude is for the quick passing of time because I&#8217;m in week 8 of 10 at the college I teach at. This is the week where I think: 1. well, let&#8217;s just get in there and rub some elbow grease around. And I have a pretty good attitude about everything because we are here and we have to get there, and we&#8217;ve got the tools we&#8217;ve got. 2. I know what I will do differently and it&#8217;ll be so fresh in my head (I hope) that I will remember to catch things before they get out of hand. 3. I&#8217;m happy that there&#8217;s a break coming and I can get my syllabus and ruberics and all that stuff dialed in before the term starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here&#8217;s to time passing fast&#8230; as long as it slows down immediately after I turn in that last grade on or before December 17th. Please pray for me that it&#8217;s before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh no wait, apparently it has more to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1516804\/physics-explains-why-time-passes-faster-as-you-age\/\">degradation of neural pathways!<\/a> Yay for degradation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally I&#8217;m not a great fan of time passing.
