   Our readingIn a monotonous stretch of life the days crawl and the weeks vanish, because the sense of how much time passed is built out of what you can remember happening.

   Their wordsAlmost everyone in the class said that the days were moving by slower. Then I would say, “Okay, so do you feel like the weeks are passing by slower, faster, or the same?” The majority of them said that the weeks were passing by faster. According to the laws of physics, I don’t think that makes any sense, but according to memory, it did because what happened was people were doing the same thing over and over in the same context.
