Time on a logarithmic scale

 That is a good video, Elvis. 

I have heard that time is perceived in a logarithmic scale.  The younger we are, the longer time takes.  The older we are it seems everything goes by really fast.  Sad thing is that the older we are, the less details we remember from our time as children. 

I remember in seventh grade, Ms McElligot, our teacher, spoke about keeping a diary.  A diary of just little things we like to write because later on we will get to know ourselves better as we grow older.  She may also have been the person who introduced me to time in a logarithmic scale.  I have never been good at keeping diaries and frankly the only reason I remember is because I liked Ms McElligot (later Ms Murray) very much.  And, I thought she was very nice looking.  She would wear short skirts and all the time the guys would sometimes drop their pencil, just to have to pick it up as she passed by.  I only realized much later why they would drop their pencil.  

She would give us an assignment where she would make us answer one question on one page.  The question could be a very general question or something more specific.  I frankly do not even remember the questions.  I do know I liked the assignment.  In part because it made me think.  And, I had to think in English.  I would love to have the stuff I wrote from that time, just to get to know myself better. Right now, I barely remembered who it was that gave us those assignments.  Only after thinking about it for a while, I remembered it was her.  After thinking a little while longer I remembered more specifics about her.  Funny, I do not remember the assignments in detail.  

I remember once, I was going in to school.  I was walking around classroom 6-1 at Sts. Peter and Paul and ran into her as we both came in. And she asked me something about what I had written in my assignment.  I did not even know where she was getting her information from. What she said was very kind.  She said she wanted me to write more because she could tell that I enjoyed it.  She also asked me to write not using cursive but to print.  She could understand it better.  Funny, the whole class had to write in cursive.  I had a special dispensation of some type.  I could use block letters.  

She was right, I did enjoy writing those.  I kind of wish I would have kept them. 

I now appreciate whoever said that time actually goes by on a logarithmic scale.  Thinking back to my first seven years of conscious life, I do remember things taking a lot longer than they seem to now.  Thinking back on the most recent seven years, it seems that time is going by too fast.  

Be well everyone,
