Next weekend is the first all class high school reunion at my high school. I am incredibly psyched to be going. I've been looking forward to it for weeks, and the closer I get to it, the more I'm looking forward to it. It's to the point that I was driving home from work tonight planning on how I would leave for Lubbock tomorrow, except that I'm not leaving for another five days! I just can't wait to get back.
It's interesting that I'm looking forward to this event this much. There could be a lot of drama and anxiety. I keep having scenes of sitcoms running through my head of people stressing about what they have and haven't done as they are preparing to go to their reunions. If you obsess over where you are versus where you could be, then this is a legitimate concern.
I guess my only real concern is that I'm going back to my reunion, alone. Out of all the people that graduated in my class, I think I and maybe our exchange student are the only two who haven't been engaged, married, or separated. I won't be the only person there alone. My friend who got married and divorced in five days will be there. He's single by choice now that he's divorced.
I'm not divorced, married, engaged, or dating, or even had a date, so it'll be interesting to see if the subject comes up. Notwithstanding that, I'm still looking forward to seeing everybody. I'm even trying to organize a "Shoot Your Way Through US History" event. So far, I've got one of the three teachers that I wanted to committed--I can't get the other two. But until next Thursday, I need to focus a little more on being here than there.
