high school, woohoo! [in South colors, ya'll!] :D
School and year you graduated: Westerville South HS--Class of 2002
Nickname in High School: Cal was the most-frequently used...but I had a ton of them.
Sport you were into: Well, all my good girlfriends played volleyball. By my junior year, I was friends with the entire team minus one girl. lol. But of course, the North-South football game was the epitome of sporting events every year. And the Westerville Classic b-ball game played at Otterbein was fun, if anyone ever went.
Had a circle of friends: Not really...I had a lot of friends in lots of different groups.
Best subject(s): Journalism, English, Spanish and history, aside from junior year, when I took AP.
Worst subject(s): Chemistry [because i was actually decent at Ecology and Biology] and all types of math.
Teacher to whom you owe life lessons? Justus was my favorite, Pentello always had great things to say, Mr. Barrett made me gain character because he hated me so much, and although Mr. Crooks was a horrible teacher and not such a great guy, he's the one that made me be a wrestling stat...and that's how I met Chris. :)
Describe:
+ Freshman year: My first year without taking dance classes. My first play--George Washingon Slept Here. I had my little group of friends--Lexie, Lesley, Jenny, Laura, Nicole and me. We always had a really good time together, before all the other shit went down. Honors English blew, because of Mr. Barrett. Good times in Children's Theatre.
+ Sophomore year: Stopped being friends with the above group, but Lex and I stayed close, of course. GREAT year in theatre w/ Wilson as our new director--We did wonderful productions of Voices from the High School and Grease. Good times!! Hung out with lots of theatre people. Saw Rent twice! Yay. Bucey's speech class was a blast. Got involved with Journalism as an elective. Became best friends with Em and Ab over the summer!!!
+ Junior year: Good times with different groups of friends (H-Girls, Scribers, and Em and Ab, of course). Spirit week was a blast! Beat reporter for the Scribe, and did a little bit of theatre [Stage Door and Damn Yankees], without being hardcore into it. Hung out with people from Auntie Anne's a lot. Worked my ass off in Chemistry, AP History, and Honors Algebra 2. I almost died of stress-induced anxiety about 500 times, no joke. Was the morning PA announcer. The 2000-01 yearbook was the Callie Firman yearbook, for sure...I was on every other page, I swear to you. lol. I wrote some feature articles for the Scribe that year and won some awards for them. I'm still proud of those articles today. Was Winnie the Pooh for Children's Theatre. Inducted into NHS at the end of the year.
+ Senior year: Still PA announcer every morning...just call me the Voice of Westerville South. Everyone was all super-nice for the most part, because we knew it was our last year together. Mrs. Mucha kissed my ass (after being a bitch to me in AP History my junior year) so I would help a girl pass her proficiency tests and Mucha's history class. I was Arts Editor for the Scribe and was constantly staying late or over my lunch break to work on stuff, because no one else was. When I did go out for lunch it was with Lexie and Jennifer Creamer, whose obsessive-compulsive/weird antics provided countless hours of amusement. Nominated for Best Smile, Best Personality and Most Likely to Stay in Westerville Forever...didn't win, but it was cool. Only show I did was the scholarship show--Dream, Believe, Imagine...it was awesome. Was a wrestling stat, started dating Chris, best kiss ever. :) Lots of grad parties and fun.
Best friend? Lexie was the person who was closest to me the longest. Em and Ab were probably my best-best friends, and Em, more than anyone. Aside from that, I had other people who I sporadically considered "best friends" and they were, for certain periods of my life...but eventually they faded away.
Cafeteria food sucked? Hell no!! We had kick-ass food. Our A La Carte line had pizza from different places every day [pizza hut, donatos, papa johns, etc], we had awesome cheesesticks and fries and bagels...and I have still never found chocolate chip cookies as good as the ones they had at school!! Omg, the food here sucks in comparison...I want South food!
Wore uniforms? Oh no.
Who were the prom king and queen? My senior year it was Lauren Shields [my best friend from elementary school who turned bitchy/shy/strange in high school] and Steve Odom [didn't think that was fair because he was homecoming king, too].
Any achievements? National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll Honor Society, a bunch of awards at the Evening of Excellence, I wrote Lexie's letter of recommendation for the Wall of Fame. I was Arts Editor, won a theatre award my freshman year [woohoo, lol], lettered in theatre, got a cool pin for being a stat, etc.
Were you popular? I didn't hang out with the "popular group," but I didn't feel like I had to drink, do drugs and have sex in order to be cool. Since that's what that group was alllll about in high school, I didn't really want to be associated with them. However, I had friends who were in that group, but I didn't hang out with them all together. Basically, I knew a lot of people, a lot of people knew me. I don't think I ever gave people a real reason to dislike me in high school, and if I did, I don't know about it.
Best song that reminds you of high school? "Graduation (Friends Forever)" -Vitamin C, "Good Riddence (Time of Your Life)" --Green Day, and lots of others with different friends.
i liked high school. :)
