Whilst I did more new things in my 20s, I do recall my perception of days as a child being much much longer. I have distinct recollection of feeling almost clinical depression when I was about 8 after being told that we would be going to the seaside tomorrow and not today. To a childs perception of time, it was an agonizing eternity.

For me as a child, even getting a haircut was a dreary experience. It felt as an eternity I had to sit mostly immobile, while somebody else maneuvered sharp blades around my head. Nowadays it feels like I barely accomodated in the chair, it's already over.

Children run on “sleeps” and eventually weeks - a single day is such a large percentage of their life, after all!

And each year is new, even if just teachers changing; but most have new things you can do.
