Study Hall
(Taken from Heather's blog--some high school-related facts about yours truly)

1) Where did you graduate from and what year?
Eden Prairie High School, Eden Prairie, MN 1995

2) Did you have school pride?
Yep--I was in the band, went to the football games, had the sweatshirt. I never did buy a letterman's jacket. But I still have my class ring around here somewhere.

3) Was your Prom a night to remember?
My boyfriend had mono, so we took him home directly after waiting in line for 45 minutes for the picture. The afterparty on Lake Minnetonka was fun. I remember my friend Jeff driving like a maniac (as usual) on the way there. And watching my ex (male) hit on a cute guy from Hastings.

4) What was your favorite song you danced to the night of Prom?
Yeah, didn't dance at prom at all.

5) Do you own all 4 yearbooks?
No.

6) Do you remember the First CD you ever bought?
Guns and Roses--Use Your Illusion II

7)What was your favorite Movie in High School?
I guess Wayne's World. We watched The Cutting Edge a lot in my circle of Friends. I did think DB Sweeney was cute though.

8.)What was your number one choice of College in HS?
Dartmouth.

9) What radio station(s) did you jam out to in highschool?
101.3 - KDWB, 99.5 WLOL, and I think for a while 104.1 had some good alternative music.

10) Were you involved in any organizations or clubs?
Yes. I can't remember them all off the top of my head. The big ones: Colorguard, National Honor Society, Drama Club (mostly as a lackey). Also took piano lessons.

11)What were your favorite classes in High School?
Spanish, Government, English, History, Biology.

12) Who was your big crush in Highschool?
Aaron

13) Would you say you've changed a lot since high school?
I look about the same, which is sometimes a disadvantage... I think I've changed quite a bit, but on the other hand, my high school friends still seem to have me pegged when we get together for a visit...

14) What do you miss the most about it?
I really enjoyed colorguard--the commitment to an expressive discipline, and the physical nature of it. I also miss the space my parents created for me for my studies and personal growth.

15) Your worst memory of HS?
I fell asleep in class all the time. One time I fell asleep in the middle of a test, and then woke up to finish it.

16) Did you have a car?
1992 Ford Taurus with a moon roof, power locks and power windows. Loved it.

17) What were your school colors?
Red and Black

18) Who were your favorite teachers?
Mrs. Kuefler, Mr. Cwadzinski, Mr. Holmes, Mr. Teigen, my junior year biology teacher whose name I've forgotten--I feel bad about that. But she was awesome. The teacher who taught me Hamlet.

19) Did you own a cell phone in highschool?
Sorry. A little old for that.

20) Did you leave campus for lunch?
No. Not allowed. Anyway, I loved chimichanga days on Fridays anyway.

21) If so, where was your favorite place to go eat?
We did eat outside on the front lawn sometimes.

22) Were you always late to class?
Only the first one in the morning. And to Cwad's class, no.

23) Did you ever have to stay for Saturday School?
No. The worst thing was in 9th grade when I was sick for a week and to make up gym class I was supposed to either work out in the weight room or run around the commons 11 times per day. I ended up not doing either out of embarrassment.

24) Did you ever Ditch?
No. I felt guilty missing class in college, people.

25) When it comes time for the reunion will you be there?
I didn't go to my 10-year this year. It's just a little too far to go to MN from MD for a $50 party with people I haven't seen since graduation. I wish I could've, though, because I was curious to see how people had changed.
