Time travel.

Is time travel possible, a discussion i've been contemplating solidly for the whole of today. I'm currently coming to a close of Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida, an interesting read, and has me debating time in photography and time as a tool.

For instance, this afternoon i spent 4 hours in a class being talked at, not understanding a single word. Now if time travel were possible, it would be viable that i could travel back in time say 5 hours and not go to this class, or, travel back a year and learn italian.

One positive did come out of this never ceasing barrage of language, in the form of a video of a performance piece by Samuel Beckett, i suppose this gave the italian students a taste of what its like for us.
