Where did the time go?

It's been almost a week since I posted, the first week of the academic year will do that to you. Thousands of new students on campus, thronging into the library for tours, catalogue workshops, asking questions, borrowing books, as well as, ahem, checking their email and surfing the net. Libraries these days are bedlam, mobile phones going off despite signage, and more and more people are bringing in their laptops and forgetting/not thinking to turn down the sound. Would love a dollar for every time I hear the Windows theme when a computer boots up. Although we have a few hundred workstations for students to use, at this time of year it's never enough. The wireless network means students can access the university server from their own computers if they are in range of a signal on certain parts of the campus. How times have changed. When I was an undergrad in the 60s, photocopiers were the new technology...

So I've been coming home and chilling out, just keeping up with reading my usual blogs. Stopped by Wendy A's blog, which brings me to the second reference to "Where did the time go?" Wendy has a photo of her youngest son going off to kinder, and I immediately was transported back to the late 80s/early 90s when my sons were that age. Recently I came across a photo that was taken of Techie Son celebrating his 5th birthday at kinder. I haven't given our scanner much of a workout since we bought it, but this is a good reason to get it cranked up. I still have the little crown he made and which he's wearing in the photo. You can see his classmates' crowns better in the foreground.
