What a great way to get into our heads! I was an overachiever from the Class of '77, small town Northern California. Student government, 10 clubs, flag girl in band, yearbook photographer, cross country (chasing boys!), straight A's 'til I discovered boys! (I still managed to be number 11 in my class...). I also designed and sewed all my own clothes. We didn't have dress codes and oh my goodness the stuff I came up with. I was always wearing unique stuff. I was the only one in a one-piece suit at our class picnic. They were all stuck in a time warp and still wore mini skirts and bikinis. My group of friends were the brainy nerds. I wasn't always sure I fit in with them, with their plans for math degrees or engineering! One former friend decided to quit talking to me because my SAT's were higher than hers, but I didn't want to go to Davis with her! I happily ended up with a degree in Graphic Arts. And as some of you know I work in clay now. And beads, and shells, and beach glass, and fabric, and paint, and photography, and on and on! I love to create! I also am the goof who still makes sure my high school class has a reunion! I think I have issues!!! |
