anniversaries
Jun. 7th, 2005 10:16 amThis month is:
10 years since I should have graduated from university, and instead failed nearly all my lab courses and barely scraped through my honours thesis and got an internship at a national magazine and then sat around and did nothing for 6 months until my parents got fed up and told me to get a job.
20 years since we left Kenya.
I don't know what I was doing 30 years ago. Probably nothing that exciting. I didn't fall off the balcony onto my head until I was 3, so it wasn't that.
Still, it's making me feel as though weird portentous things ought to be happening. Or not -- I could probably come up with equally significant anniversaries for just about anything.
