memories

I don't like change. Too often it seems to be a way of obscuring the memories of things I hold dear. I see people renovating shops and demolishing buildings and changing roads and before long I forget what used to be there, and the things I did in that place.

And I often think life is moving along too fast. I was just thinking today about something I remembered so clearly that it seemed fairly recent, yet when I thought about it, it must have been at least 9 years ago. The same goes for some of the odder dreams I had, which are about 15 years old now. And stuff from 2 or 3 years ago may as well be yesterday, in many cases. It's strange how the mind works, but mainly I'm just worried that the years are just flying by and I don't have much to show for them.

Heh. There's too many people doing degrees full stop. Less degrees, more vocational shit.

I'd have been better off doing something vocational rather than my degree, but I wouldn't pass up the social opportunity for anything.

If they funded universities based more on their vocational contributions instead of their research qualities, then we might have a better situation all round.
