trying to come up with a father-daughter road trip mix CD. I really don't know how her musical tastes run.
File under "Chico is a Small World": I have two rambunctious but awesome young students; one of them used to call me 'twin' for a week after we both shaved our heads at the same time. They're siblings. Today I met their parents at our open-house presentation. I looked at her, she looked at me, and said 'is your name Tommy?'
It was Karen, from high school! Who was Karen, you may well ask? She was a sort-of-friend, but she was definitely part of my 'group.' Me and Casey and Nathan and Kelly and Ali and Karen. We went to dances and football games together, had drama, had our first drinking experiences, dated one another in almost every possible combination -- though Karen and I never dated; she was both of my best friends' first girlfriend. She was also a completely trampy nutcase. in the bad way. given that, it was surprisingly awesome to see her. She grew up well, looks happy, sane and stable. And I really do like her kids.
file under "B is (my GPA) for Academics": My last homework of the spring term is now complete! and the big work-presentation was today! so much less stress in my life; all I have to do now is not bomb two tests and I'll escape with a C and an A. Of course, I'm also gearing up to help dad with the course he's teaching this summer. but that's another story.
So endeth the update. eth.
