Let’s start of a little philosophical: where does time go when it passes? Of course it goes in the past, but it seems that it doesn’t always get in our memories in a linear fashion. It seems like a couple of weeks ago when I was working on my graduation assignment, attending almost all of Scintilla’s activities and doing many helpful things at Scintilla.
