Melodie and her survey

My sister has asked me to do her survey. As I cannot concentrate on lesson planning, I am going to do...half of it now.

10 years ago: I was 14 years old. I was a freshman at Klein High School. I played the French Horn...I marched in the mighty KHS marching band...how bizarre...My mother let me accept a date to band banquet, but she wouldn’t let me ride in his car. He had to meet me there. Good times.

5 years ago: I was 19 years old. I was at Brigham Young University, starting my first year in the Chinese Language House. I was obsessed with modern dance. I was trying to learn Chinese. I had finally declared my major. When I told my mother I was an English major, she was so happy, because being an English major meant I had stopped trying to be a dance major...That summer I went to China for the first time. It rocked.

1 year ago: It was the first semester of the first year of Teach for America Houston. Around now, I was thinking of different ways to stop the pain. So much pain. I kept printing out applications for Borders or Whole Foods. I was eating a lot of ice cream. I remember being mad that Houston had no skinny-dipping venues. That was the one thing about Utah...
