My friend, Jessica, sent me this as an e-mail and since I have nothing better to blog about I thought I would share it here.  :)  So here goes my senior year of high school…

1.  What was your school’s full name?

Republic High School

2.  When did you graduate?

2000

3.  What was your school mascot?

Tigers

4.  Did you date someone from your school?

Not during my senior year but at other times

5.  Did you marry someone from your high school?

No, Lucas went to Joplin High School

6.  Did you carpool to school?

Well I took my sister and somtimes I took friends home but I was always driving and it wasn’t really a carpool kind of thing

7.  What kind of car did you have?

1984…Ford Mustang…Primer Grey…it was pretty awesome!

8.  What kind of car do you have now?

2000 Honda Civic

9.  It is Friday night…where are you (then)?

Dancing at a football or basketball game with the Pom Squad

10.  It is Friday night…where are you (now)?

Probably at home with Lucas, maybe have some friends over

11.  What kind of job did you have in high school?

During my senior year I worked at a video store…for about 10 hours a week.  :)

12.  What kind of job do you have now?

Right now I’m a worship leader and also a receptionist but since high school I’ve also taught piano, guitar, djembe lessons; been a nanny for 3 kids; worked at Target (for a very short period); worked and taught classes at a scrapbook store; been a barista (not at Starbucks); receptionist in a law firm in downtown Vancouver; student (again)…I guess that’s all.  :)

13.  Were you a party animal?

No, not in the typical high school sense but I did have a lot of fun with my friends

14.  Were you considered a flirt?

Maybe by some…I’m not sure

15.  Were you in band, orchestra or choir?

I was in choir all 4 years of high school

16.  Were you a nerd?

I don’t think so

17.  Did you get suspended or expelled?

No but in first grade I was sent to the principal’s office for having a boy stand on his desk and then depantsing him.  :)

18.  Can you sing the fight song?

I don’t really know that we had a fight song but the band always played “Eye of the Tiger” at games since we were the Republic Tigers.

19.  Who were your favorite teachers?

Mr. Newcomer, my geography/history teacher, because we really studied the world; Mrs. Ashley, my english teacher, because I learned more about writing from her; Mrs. Phillips, my choir director, because she really took the input of the students and because I did a lot of extra things with her; Mrs. Mais, my sometimes history teacher but also the Pom sponsor.  I wrote a song and sang it in her wedding and since high school we’ve become pretty close.  It’s been really special to keep up that kind of contact although it is fewer and far between than I would like it to be.

20.  Where did you sit during lunch?

Obviously at a table in the lunch room probably with Jessica (then known as Dipper), Anna, other fun people…I don’t know.  :)

21.  If you could go back and do it again, would you?

Yeah, I had a pretty good time although there are things I would do differently for sure

22.  Did you have fun at prom?

Yes!!!  All four times plus a time at Kickapoo’s prom…I love dancing!!!

23.  Do you still talk to the person you went to prom with?

That would be a negative

24.  Are you planning on going to your next reunion?

Yes if we ever have one.

Well I’m sure that was fascinating to read.  :)  Actually I think it is fascinating to learn new things about people, so…I’m throwing this out there for anyone else to do but I’m also specifically asking Shelley (because she is from Canada and maybe high school is different up there), Dan (because he’s a guy and he went to high in California), Katie (because she went to high school in Oregon), Sarah (because I knew her in high school but didn’t go to high school with her), Meredith (because I knew her after high school and she went to high school in Arkansas…hopefully she’ll do this even though I never passed on her Smile Award that she gave me although it made my day, week, month…) and EVERYONE else join on in!

Hopefully some things will happen in life so I’ll have more to blog about.  Come to think of it I do have some past blog ideas that I never shared so I’ll try to get on that ASAP…until then…
