I went to a high school reunion last night for people from my year organised by some of the other students in my year.
It was an interesting experience. All of us have not been together since November 2004. That is four years, four months ago.
About 40 people showed up from around 400 people in my year, but it was pouring with rain so many people stayed away.
It was weird not really knowing anyone. I recognised about five people immediately and kinda remembered another 10 or so, but there were so many people who I just had no recognition of.
I guess that is partly a response of going to a university where only two other students from my year went to. So I had to change my social circles very quickly.
The start of the night was interesting with everyone standing around in a kinda large circle, but after an hour or so groups kinda formed just like those people who hung out at school, you kinda had the geeks club, the Indian club, the cool peoples club, it was quite funny. Time can’t change everything.
Also I was kinda glad that I wasn’t out geeked, there was only one other person there also about to start their honours, it seems everyone who is still studying had taken a gap year somewhere.
