The First Day of School

I still remember my first day of kindergarten. (I have a freakishly good memory- I remember like everyone's name that I meet and sometimes even have to pretend like I don't so I don't seem creepy)

What I wore: Esprit "Short Set" Aqua/Whitte vertical striped shorts- white T, the sleeves were aqua with white polka dots and an Esprit Logo. (chances are my hair was in a *helicopter)

*a Dorthy Hammel style "pony tail" that stood straight up like a propeller

My arrival: My mom dropped me off at the east side doors at Harwood elementary, I walked into the classroom all by myself. Whitney was waiting for me, her mom saving my chair. (this would be the first and last time we were allowed to sit by each other until the 4th grade)

My departure: Richard would come and pick me up or meet me in the bus line. (And, one time he told me to flip someone off- he also told me that it was ok to swear as long as I repented)

The mems are due to Scott's first day of school.
He is the newest Colorado State attendee.
He didn't care what he wore on the first day of school.
He commutes every day, right up stairs to his classroom.
He studies a lot, I blog all the while.
In my head, he is the student body president.
2 Years to go, and counting.

I hope you have repented for all the swearing and flipping off! Rich must be on his knees a lot!

It's funny you remember everyone...so do I and cody thinks it's creepy as well...the thing that bothers me is when I remember someone and the deny even being in the place I met them the first time...I must not be memorable or just to weird to admit that people know me...

What a good boy furthering his education! My new mailman at work has a memory like yours and tells me everyday when he comes in that he really does know me - and he's still trying to figure out where...yep - its kind of creepy - but he's kind of cute so I tolerate it!
