Tonight at school I was commented on how young I look. This is strange as once upon a time you use to get told I looked older than I was, then all of a sudden when I reached 22 it started going the other way. Now i'm 25, getting close to 26, and tonight people were shocked to learn that I was 25. They thought I was about 21, I asked them what made them think I was so young, was it my facial appearance? Was it the way i spoke or my voice? Was it my mannerisms? The best they could come up with was that I seemed more "switched on" than a 19 year old and that I couldn't just be out of high school cause I know what I'm talking about. Ok, thats weird that they would consider me to be even 19 and recently out of high school :/:\:/:\ . Another strange fact in this was that this analysis was coming from both older and younger students than me, different racial backgrounds and sex, yet no one could come up with a decent answer of why they picked my age to be 21.

I guess I should complain right? I mean, the younger people think you are the older you get is suppose to be some sorta complement, right? right???

Also on Tuesday morning I forgot my student card for my exam and some older woman said to me "You'll have to call your mum and get her to bring it in for you". Wtf? My usual response (if I say anything) use to be "Well I would be she lives about 5 hours drive from here", but since my mum does not live in Portland anymore I can hardly say that. Its so strange that metropolitan people assume that most people under the age of 25 still live at home with their parents, I'm not sure that in reality this is the case. Oh wells...
