Shocking to see 2002 is considered as ancient. I still have a vivid memory of those days as if it was yesterday.
It does seem like yesterday. Perception of time changes as one ages. We were settig up the Christmas decorations last weekend and I had an overwhelming feeling of "we just did this like a month ago" but it has already been another year.
I was born then. I just graduated from university recently. I'd say it's been a little while.
