Who said you could grow up?!

Tonight I ventured back to my high school. Granted this isn't an odd occurrence, I try to go back to visit my drama teacher when ever I can. Today however was open house. I was walking around and really didn't see anyone that I knew. I realized that this was because the only people that I knew at the school where freshmen when I graduated, and they are now seniors. God that sounds so weird, they where my freshmen, they where so little and now they are going to be going to college soon! I walked into my old chorus room and saw the picture of the group of us that went to All-State my senior year. It seems like so long ago. I even ran into on of my friends who I had not seen since we graduated. We have kept in touch but its been all over the internet. We just stood there in the hall way talking about the people we knew and how it was so weird that so many of them where married and had kids. Even though high school does seem like so long ago I know that it was only 2 years ago and the fact that people have already decided that they are ready to settle down in their lives seems like such a foreign concept to me.

I think the weirdest part of the whole night is the fact that steeping back into Hiram High school was like going back in time. More like it was frozen in time, if that makes any sense. A lot of the same teachers where there, it looked just like I remembered it. And worst of all it still smelt the same. I'm not entirely sure why the how school smells like a sweating gym sock, but it does. They even had my graduating classes senior pictures up to advertise for the year book which was epically creepy.

I think its so strange to me because I have changed so much in the past two years and for some reason I don't expect Hiram to change. I still want to walk through the halls and see all the people that I saw when I went there. Even though you could not pay me enough money to go back to high school, its nice to know its there. The truth is I loved high school. And at times I actually miss it.

To end this post I am going to put up some pics from high school, scary as they may be.
