Quick Alumni Day recap:
It was interesting.
I went to choir, my sister's psycology class, Mrs. Smeltzer's class, and then somehow got talked into going to Mrs. Martinez's class, even though I never had her. The things I will do for a teacher I liked.
I found it really interesting that out of all the things I could have told them, I warned them about running out of toothpaste. Although, to be fair, it's not anything they ever would have thought to ask about, and it's kind of important. Anyway, going back to WW really reinforced how different things are for me now. They asked me what was the biggest difference between high school and college all day long, and it feels like it's been so long since I was in high school, I couldn't even come up with a decent answer. I don't really remember what it's like to be in high school anymore. That's not to say I don't remember what I did in high school, and my reactions to things, and all that. I do have journals, and I look over them every now and then. But none of it feels the same. I look back at things I did, and I honestly can't remember why I did them. It's weird.
So, yeah. Talking about differences between high school and college with people who have only experienced one, while I am deep in the clutches of the other, is more difficult than it would seem. I hope at least something I said was useful though. Starting college is a huge shock to anyone, no matter how prepared you think you are.
On a completely unrelated note, doing inventory at work is not fun. Just for future reference. Or, it could have been fun if it had been earlier in the day, and I had brought a cushion or something to sit on. But it wasn't, and I didn't, so.
