Enthralling, yes?

Since Matthew transferred to a private high school, I had to drop his old books off at Leland:

Details of the campus have changed (new bushes there, different sign here, you get the idea), but it's basically the same. I half-expected to see one of my high school buddies hanging out around the flagpole or in the quad.

The registrar is the same person that worked there when I went to school 5+ years ago. I think the receptionist and the nurse are still there, too.

Someone stopped me to ask what I needed, and assumed I was a student. Thanks for the ego boost!

As I was waiting for the registrar to get her nose out of the computer screen and help me, an old teacher of mine walked past and did a double-take. She recognized me! Ish. She knew I was a prior student of hers, but she didn't call me by name. I had her for Spanish freshman and sophomore year. So, 9 and 8 years ago, respectively. I'm surprised she recognized me at all, to be honest. 

And then I took Teddy to Dog Park. The End.

My life is interesting, no?

Who are you, again?

I just got back from a quick trip to Safeway to pick up some tonic water and cranberry juice for Kelly, since she's ache-y tonight and I'm a GOOD sister, dammit. (Some of the time, at least!) I was at the checkout stand paying for the beverages when I heard, "Catie?" I turned around, and lo and behold, it was Tatian. From high school. As in, the guy who had an insane crush on me during our freshman year. That was nine years ago. Hello there, blast from the past! How are you today?

We exchanged the normal pleasantries -- How are you, I'm fine, Just graduated, Oh really I'm working on my degree(s). You know, standard fare. As we walked out of the store together, he offered to carry my purchases (because nearly 6 liters is heavy?) to be ~nice or ~gentlemanly or whatever, but I'm buff and awesome (hah) so I declined. He asked if we could get coffee and catch up sometime, so we traded phone numbers. I don't have a burning desire to go out with him or anything, but it could be interesting to see how much he's changed and matured since our senior year (god was he immature back then). We'll see how it goes!

So I currently have two guys from my past wanting to get coffee with me sometime soon -- Gabe is in town and he'd like to see me again before he goes back to LA!
