Would you like to dance around the world with me?

First, thank you for the comments. I love hearing from you!
Second, I saw this on Chris Baucom's blog, and I thought it would be fun.

ten years ago:
October 1995
I had just started seventh grade at Lake Braddock - a school with 3000 students from 7th to 12th grade and 1/4 mile long. Walking through the upperclassmen halls was kind of intimidating as I hovered right around 5 feet. I remember seeing the internet for the first time, having my first and and only cigarette, writing notes in class to Amy with secret pen names that we thought were impenetrable, and continuing my crushes on percussionists (which started in 6th grade with Joey). I loved watching Oprah, spending too much time in AOL chat rooms at Kristin's house, and learning gymnastics.

October 2000
This was my senior at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ, for short). I was drum major of the marching band, VP of band council, tutoring, and dating Chris (for 2 years at that point). I was busy applying for Georgia Tech and MIT as well as a bunch of scholarships for college. I can think of some other notable things that make me smile about October 2000, but you'll just have to ask me about those.

one year ago:
October 2004
Last year I was a senior at Georgia Tech. I was spending a lot of my time practicing with (and finally not being president of) the gymnastics team, starting up the Aerospace Student Advisory Council, going to Bible study, working my butt of in space design, doing research at the Aerospace Systems Design Lab, and being involved in ODK, Tau Beta Pi, etc. After that laundry list, it seems I wouldn't have time for the rest of my awesome senior year, but I managed. October was full of spending quality time at the mansion and partying with the best roommates ever. Yay for 207. October was Jen's birthday, and we all did our first keg stands! And we were well on our way to 100. ;-)

yesterday:
I worked in the morning for a few hours on research then went to rueda (my new favorite activity - it's a form of salsa) practice from 12-2. I came back, had lunch, then biked to City Life church with Sean, where we met up with Kara and Jean Paul for an awesome service. After a little more work, I made some of my favorite ravioli for Ryan and myself, then we went to Shaw's (ok, maybe not the most exciting part of the day, but I did get a bag of the Halloween candy corn mix), and I finished off the night with some quality time with a cute boy. :-)
