I have a little dilema...
To go or not to go to my 5 year High School Reunion... today... Now, I didn't RSVP, nor did I care to. But, honestly, it's because I'm not really sure that I want to go. Part of me says I should go, but most of me says f*ck no! Mind you, I didn't like 95% of my class and I rarely hung out with them. There are only 4 people in the Class of 2000 that I care to see. One of whom told me he wasn't going. The other three I'm not sure of. But is it really worth taking the chance to see 3 people? I feel my time would be better spent if I were to call them or IM them and hang out on our own terms. Looking at my year book, yeah I like to know where some of my classmates are now, but really? I'm not dying to know. And like I said, who's to say they're gonna show up?? Traditionally, not many people from Spalding tend to go to the 5 year reunion. I heard the response from the Class of 2000 wasn't that great either. And, apparently it's going to be in the school cafeteria?! $20 per person (open bar) in the school cafeteria... I don't know how I feel about that. I don't think I would feel right about it. What's the problem? They couldn't spring a few bucks to have a nice little reception in a restaurant?? I know for a fact that Jaspers in Crofton has a reception room that can hold 250 (we were a class of 225!) that has a bar and everything. I guess this is where my background in event planning rears its head. (I always critique other people's work) I guess what it boils down to is that I'm not that impressed with the event.
But on the other hand, this would be a tremendous opportunity in networking for me. If I take about 100 business cards with me, I could do a killing. We're all out of college and the next step is marriage, need a wedding planner?? I just feel that networking isn't a good enough reason to go. I don't have a great job to brag about it. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I'm still not working full time. I really haven't done anything with my life yet that would warrant bragging at a reunion. I dunno. I welcome any comments. Please let me know what you think...
