I Wanna Run Through The Halls Of My High School

I put this in my notes on Facebook, but some people read my blog who don't do the FB thing. It has been fun to see what other people have said in the comments and in their own posts. 1. Did you date someone from your school? Not really. My first date was Senior Ball. I made a deal with my Dad that if I didn't date until I was 18, he would give me $100. Actually he ended up taking me on a trip to D.C., so it was definitely worth it! I knew I wouldn't be dating anyway, so I think it was a pretty good deal! 2. Did you marry someone from your school? Negatory 3. Did you car pool to school? Before we all could drive! 4. What kind of car did you have? I'd like to say that I had something cooler than a 1985 Ford Tempo, but I can't . . . unless you count the 1987 Econoline! 5. What kind of car do you have now? 1993 Toyota Corolla. Someday I will own a vehicle made in the same decade in which I'm living. 6. It's Friday night...where are you? (then) At work--good old Logan Nursing & Rehab. 7. It is Friday night...where are you? (now) At work--good old Intermountain Medical Center. Not much changes when you don't have a social life! 8. What kind of job did you have in high school? I started in the dietary department of LNRC washing dishes for $4.25/hour. I was pretty excited to become a CNA and get a raise to $6! Woo! 9. What kind of job do you do now? I am a surgical technologist. I take care of the sterile supplies for surgeries and assist surgeons. I'm the one who passes the scalpel. It's not the greatest job, but it does pay (most of) the bills, I probably won't be downsized due to the economy, every day and every patient is different, and I'm always learning something new. I like that. 10. Were you a party animal? Um, I don't think so. Why do you think I was working at a Nursing Home every Friday night? 11. Were you considered a flirt? I wanted to be, but I just didn't know how! 12. Were you in band, orchestra, choir? I was an orchestra geek. 13. Were you a nerd? Definitely. 14. Did you get suspended or expelled? Nope. I did skip school when Star Wars was re-released! Such a rebel! 15. Can you sing the fight song? No. I can sing the school theme song, though. "Neath the crest of Wasatch Mountains . . ." 16. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)? I didn't learn a lot about American history, but I loved Stu (and I actually passed the AP test!). Mr. Ashton was like a father figure, since I saw him nearly every day for 6 years. I enjoyed getting Mr. Huie off-track so we we wouldn't have Chemistry homework. Even so, I'd have to say that Mr. Hoyt was my all-time favorite. Because of him, I would still like to be a high school Biology Teacher! 17. Where did you sit during lunch? I don't remember. Sometimes it was in the orchestra room, sometimes it was outside . . . who knows? 18. What was your school's full name? Logan Senior High School 19. When did you graduate? 1997 20. What was your school mascot? Grizzlies 21. If you could go back and do it again, would you? No. I was such a social moron, it was pretty traumatic. I'd like to think the best is yet to come. 22. Did you have fun at prom? Not so much. My date was pretty intent on spying on someone else in our group, and he took off for most of the dance part. 23. Do you still talk to the person you went to prom with? I've e-mailed him a couple of times on Facebook. (Side note: I got a response from Eric, the smartest person I have ever met, aside from my brother. He said that his contact lens got stuck in his eye, and he was in the bathroom for 45 minutes trying to get it out! If he had told me that, I wouldn't have been so annoyed at the time!) 24. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? Depends on how much weight I can lose by then. 25. Do you still talk to people from school? A few; mostly just the people I hung out with or actually talked to in my classes. I am facebook friends with some people who probably don't remember me at all, though! Life is pretty funny! I enjoyed reminiscing a bit about high school while writing this. Even so, I wouldn't go back. I had enough emotional trauma to last me a lifetime. I much preferred college. I might do that again, although I'd probably major in English so I could read all the time! Oh well. I made my choices, and I like where I am now. La vie est belle.
