I don't know why, really - I guess I've been a bit nostalgic what with changing my layout, getting that tags cloud on the side, and following tags various places all day - but I went and looked up my HS's website and tried to find my old German teacher. And was very surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be a German program there anymore. They have Latin and about 15 Spanish teachers, but no German. Nor is the Frau on the maths page. And my old email has been completely wiped - all emails gone, all contacts gone - so I no longer have her email address. It's... weird. I was going to email her if I got into grad school. Not that I will, but absolutely losing any contact I might have had is just not palatable.

This is part of the reason I shouldn't look at my old entries. The other part being that it reminds me how much I need to lock all of those. I was so embarrassing in HS. No wonder no one wanted to associate with me. xp Thank god for college. Kept me up rather late last night, just thinking about things. What could have been. What I missed out on. What I'm glad I missed out on. Where people are now...

That tag cloud is addictive - spent much of my afternoon tagging entries. Well, mostly thesis ones. Those are, despite the dread and anxiety dripping from them, rather delightful. Thesis was such a good experience, something I'm still proud of now, despite the many wasted hours fretting.

Oh, how I miss academia.

And speaking of things past: Hey Sari - I made guacamole and it doesn't taste like bean dip!

I'm not sure what happened to Frau either... I think it was about a year ago now that Michele's brother told me Frau was no longer at WSHS at all. I thought I had passed the word on to you at that point. Oops. >.< Anyway, I had also tried to access my college email with no success at that point. I think her husband is still teaching at UCF, though.

And hey, I associated with you! ^.^;;;

P.S. We should talk more since you're so far away and all that.

Sorry I missed this. Yay, I comment late.

Dude, I totally associated with you in high school, so much so that people called me gay way before I had a clue. :P

And yay, guacamole that tastes like guacamole! Although truth be told I was always amazed by your ability to make guacamole taste like bean dip. It's like turning water into wine, only not quite.

Aww man, I actually miss the Frau. I think she was always mystified by the fact that I could be so good at German while being so stupid when it comes to math. I remember handing in a geometry quiz and her giving me a terrifying yet perplexed glare while asking, "Are you SURE that's your answer to number three?" Me: "Uh, no?" *takes it back and changes the answer to something else random* Ah, so wonderfully embarrassing. Hmm, this is making me wonder what Michelle is up to, I can't seem to find her on facebook or anywhere.
