12. Who was your favorite teacher?

18. What do you remember most about graduation?
I broke my ankle the night before the prom while I was at the school decorating so I had to go to prom and grad on crutches – but I had a blast and the parties were worth it!
19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
Had so many great memories it’s hard to narrow it down to one but I remember getting in a car accident during the final English exam. Shep would let you leave after the vocab part and do whatever the heck you wanted as long as the exam was handed in by 5. Kim & I grabbed lunch at McD’s and on the way back got rearended…other dude’s car was wrote off while mine had a little bump in the bumper (hence the name, I guess). We finished our exam after all the hoopla died down & parents were called and THEN went to the hospital. Turns out we got one of the highest marks on the exam.

No.

Senior year I was either in the hallway by the woodshop room causing trouble or else Kim and I were in New Minas at the BK Lounge or wherever

Right after I went to the grad party. 🙂 Then I worked and then went to college and now I have a great career

Back by popular demand…..Sandy’sWEEKEND UPDATE
Um……………….???

TGIF!!
although I’m not into it or addicted to it as she is, it is a good book….at least so far. And It’s fun to read something fun after my long struggle with FINALLY finishing The Witching Hour….it only took me a year and a half. But I did it. *beams*
Poor Blair is working crappy backshift all weekend but I’m hoping to see him late tomorrow night on a break – I will bring him something cold to drink and pehaps some watermelon to keep him hydrated and cool – or maybe I can talk him into coming to my place Sunday morning instead of going home…but we’ll see what happens. I miss him so much it’s ridiculous.
This evening I am going to visit Linda’s grave with Elizabeth….It’s going to be difficult but it will be good. Neither of us have been there since the funeral. I’m still reeling from her death…it’s still new and it was so sudden. I continue to hear her voice and see her in cars…then I have to remind myself that she is gone. But it’s funny b/c the same thing happens with my Nan….I keep thinking I see her….or someone will stroll by that reminds me of her. I saw her sister Peggy one day from afar and my heart dropped to my knees….she looked so much like her.
We’ll see how this weekend goes and how many adventures I can accumulate. I’ll keep you posted! 🙂
