It has been almost 21 years since I graduated from high school and around 7 since I attended the freshman enrollment with Alecia. Last night I went with Catie and her friend Syrus to Open House at high school and sat through the freshman orientation - I think it has been about 25 years since I had to do that! I am glad that I wore my sneakers because I was exhausted after 2 hours of walking around the campus.
Catie is nervous but I'm confident she will do just fine. I can't believe how things have changed in that time span. Pagers were popular when I was in high school. I bet they wouldn't even know what a pager was because now they have cell phones and many of them have smart phones. Later they will each get a laptop assigned to them. I learned to type on an old fashioned typewriter in typing class. Again, I suspect that neither of them would have any idea what one was if you showed it to them.
Today is her first day as a freshman in the class of 2016! Where did the time go?
