Ten Years Gone
Ten years.Ten freaking years.
A decade.
Three thousand six hundred fifty-three days. (3653)
That's how long it has been since I graduated high school. Today was my 10-year reunion. Although the planning was a bit hectic and slightly thrown together, it turned out to be a rather good time. Actually, it was a great time.
My high school class had a grand total of 55 people in it. Rather small when you think about it, but perfectly set up for a reunion. The concept was a laid-back affair at a private campsite about 10 minutes from town. There was a keg and people were to bring their own food. Personally I thought it was a great idea.
Jenn, one of the two from my class who lives in Chi-town, told some of her friends that she was coming back for her 10-year and their reactions were "Ewww.." until Jenn told them we were partying by a pond with a keg. That's when they thought it was a great idea. The setting was such low key that we were able to relax in this shelter-type thing. I think between 20-22 of our class showed up. By 4:00 the keg was starting to float and it had only been tapped for two-and-a-half hours. I do wish some of the no shows had shown up. Oh well, maybe for our 15 year.
My face hurts but it's from laughing so hard.
