Ten years ago I was 12 years old and finishing up Mrs. Bailey's sixth grade at Liberty Christian School. For our class trip at the end of sixth grade we went to Chicago to the field museum and shedd's aquarium I think. Then maybe we went to a baseball game too, or something. I'm not real sure. I do remember I wore AAU basketball shorts to Chicago and maybe a Tazmanian Devil t-shirt. I must have looked like a punk. I guess those were the days before I carried money. When I was that age, I used to put money in my socks sometimes.
Five years ago I was in 11 grade. Life was good. I was still at Liberty Christian School and we had one basketball season and one year of school left. Every year on the last day of school we would go to Ricky's house for a party. Ricky's house was home to some of the best parties in high school. Keep in mind that our high school parties were very mild. We played games, sat around the campfire etc. Sometimes we swam.
Lisa and I were dating in 11 grade. We'd been dating for 2.5 years at the time. I remember in high school thinking that we might stick together. I never realy thought much about us breaking up, but more about the possibilities.
I don't know that there was anything spectacular about my junior year of high school. I'd have to get out the old journal to see for sure, I suppose.
Today I received my first official job offer. I have until Thursday to decide. I also received a call asking me to come up to Chicago to test for a Communications Analyst position. That would be a real deal type of job. However, on Wednesday I'm interviewing for a Health & Benefits Analyst position with the same company in Indianapolis. So in short, it should be an interesting week. As those weeks go, I've also got a paper to finish tonight.
