All Grown Up

Today one of my good friends from high school visited me. Even though we goofed around while shopping at the mall and around my apartment, it's strange to think that we're adults. I almost wanted to put quotes around the word adults but we are legally and in actuality too.

Maybe I don't feel it as much because I'm still in school, albeit law school, but it's strange to have friends in real jobs. My friend visiting tests fighter jets, how cool is that? I also helped her look at wedding things since she's engaged.

As we took a stroll down memory lane and did the "what's he/she up to" game, we filled each other in on what our high school classmates were up to. Whether they're getting married, becoming doctors, testing fighter planes, working for non-profits, investment banking, becoming a weatherman, teaching kids, parenting children (ok, that's the scariest one), or whatever else they're up to, it's all very interesting. While a lot of my high school friends have asked if I'm going to put together our 5 or 10 year high school reunion, it's not something I really feel like doing at least now. But it would be interesting to see what everyone is like now.
