An I feel old moment

So, I started taking accounting a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if this is supposed to be embarassing, but I'm really liking it. I think I would be very content to do some accounting homework every day. Actually, there's so much of it, I should be doing some every day. And the community college I attend has a beautiful campus, on the flanks of Diamond Head - it has a very green and rolling campus, with cactus gardens, twittering birds, and even some mongoose (mongeese?) skulking around.

Anyway, this evening in class, my teacher used Desperately Seeking Susan in an example. As I looked around the room, I realized that I was probably the only one old enough to have seen it in a theater. For me, hearing the title immediately conjured up memories of being in the sixth grade, at Uptown Square movie theater, sitting in the dark anticipating the appearance of Madonna on the screen, with Gracia Briggles and our respective moms, on a school night. For my classmates, it may have conjured up memories of the womb or VHS tapes.
