Class Reunion
I survived it! Dreaded but highly anticipated I survived my High School Class Reunion, the first after 10 years since graduation.
It was great to see my old friends again and to catch up on the last years. The first ones are married already and we even have a few babies, although 6 babies in a class of 20 Girls of 32 years of age is really meager.
Most of the girls have some degree of sorts, one girl - who was not present as she is doing her Post-Doc - has pursued an academic career as a Researcher in Glaciology. The majority of the class has graduated in Law, me being the only one who has graduated in Business and IT. Most of us have well paid jobs. Only two have bought houses, one who has married rich and the other one where both earn very much and have saved up money meticulously. One of the mothers is the rich married one, another is a teacher as her husband and both work part-time, another one who was not present got pregnant after high school and her whereabouts are unknown, the third one is religious and had a family with two kids soon after High school and settled as a housewife. One of us has joined Bhagwan in Costa Rica and is there in an Ashram doing Yoga.
In 10 years we will see the first divorces, the first lesbians who have come out of the closet, the ones who left their jobs to become Yoga-Teachers or Aura-Soma Therapists... :-)
I really wonder where I will be in 10 years. Probably nothing much will change. Maybe other cats, maybe even a dog, rather unprobable a child.
