  Aging in a two dimensional suspension containing rods was studied by means of
kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. An off-lattice model with continuous
positional and orientational degrees of freedom was considered. The initial
state was produced using a random sequential adsorption model. During the
aging, the rods underwent translational and rotational Brownian motions. The
simulations were run at different values of number density (the number of rods
per unit area), $\rho$, and of the initial orientation order parameter, $S_i$.
The rods were assumed to have core---shell structures. The evolutions of both
the connectivity and the order parameter in the course of the aging were
examined.
