Jeans & t-shirt or jeans & sweatshirt (same as today, funnily enough)

[What was up with your hair?]
It was the same as it is now. Except I got my senior photos taken with a Vavoom, which is a perm which gives a bit of a wave. I hated it, mom loved it.

Eric Idle.

[Did you smoke cigarettes?]
Bleh, no.

[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
Heck, not only did I not lug books around in HS, I didn’t lug them around at Uni. I actually picked my Uni classes so that I’d have time to return to the dorm to swap books. True story!

[Did you have a ‘clique’?]
I was a loner. The curse of being smart & a geek.

[Did you have “The Max” like Zach Kelly and Slater?]
I have *no* idea what this means.

Nope. I was well known, however. Especially by teachers (many of whom are now my colleagues.)

Elizabeth from the Tomorrow People.

A teacher. English teacher or science teacher.

[Where did you think you’d be at the age you are now?]
Living in Pleasant Hill in my own house and teaching at Newton Local School. And you know what? That’s exactly what happened. Woot!
