20 years ago, I was:
- hating my kindergarten teacher for playing a joke on me in front of the whole class
- chilling on our old orange and brown plaid couch with the stuffing coming out of the top, watching Nickelodeon
- begging my mom to please, please, please let me take violin lessons
- the sound tech-type person for a guest speaker/school play (the other gifted-and-talented kids got to be in the play; I was backstage)
- playing "Press Your Luck" with Lauren, Mike and Jonathan at lunch
- cracking my friends up, doing impressions of our teacher
- crushing madly on a boy from church
- pleading with my friends who had cars to give me rides to and from orchestra
- spending weekends cruising up and down Transit Road, hitting up the bulk foods section at Wegman's and hanging out at Denny's
5 years ago, I was:
- thinking about going abroad for the first time ever, on a 5-week summer program
- 'working' at the Math and German Workshops, getting pizza delivered to Hollenbeck Hall
- spending Thursday nights at Heather, Molly, Jessie and Nick's house, watching 'ER' and griping about those stupid education classes
1 year ago, I was:
- being run ragged by kindergarteners
- pretty much hating my job
- feeling lonely in a new city and still figuring everything out
- being run ragged by first-graders
- teaching Irish dance
- taking part in a 'holiday sweater pub crawl', which turned more into hanging out with a few folks at one bar and losing the rest of the pub crawlers
Wow, three bullet points every five years really do summarize my life.
