Skewing the Age Range

I'm quite sure that I have never skewed the age range in a room quite so much to the older side. My first trip to Gordon was eye opening, my eyes kept popping open thinking - "they look 12." The student I was eating with kept chuckling, and then pointed to someone and said "He doesn't look 12." I turned to see one of the cafeteria workers who was there when I was in school. Just for the record - campus workers don't count!
Feeling old was only solidified when after three hours I couldn't remember certain world capitals, like, say - Baghdad. (Sorry Dan.) I did manage to get some of the continents right on that part of the quiz though. (Who gives a quiz on the first day of class!? - oh, me...). Then there was the student next to me who asked "Was this building here when you were a student." Now, with many new buildings on campus this was not a total shock - but we were in the library building. It doesn't even look new!
Other than feeling closer in age to the prof than the students our class is going well. We are auditing, so we don't have to do all the work. (Thus we will not be writing the 25 page research paper!) We would still like to do as much as we can though, so we have been studying a lot. One of this weeks books is Six Dangerous Questions to transform your World View. So far a very interesting, and thought provoking read.
