Long and mostly pointless timeline meme
Gacked from Erica:
20 years ago I:
Was 9 months old.
Was an only child.
Had very dark, curly hair.
According to my mom's reports, was talking.
Presumably was wearing really bad frilly hot pink ensembles.
15 years ago I:
Was attending kindergarten.
Liked to chase boys on the playground.
Had a nearly-4-year-old little sister, and a nearly-1-year-old little brother.
Did not like to read.
Definitely was wearing really bad frilly hot pink ensembles.
10 years ago I:
Was in fifth grade at Catholic school.
Was thinking about becoming an altar server at church.
Was looking forward to sixth grade, when I could wear the plaid skirts instead of the plaid jumpers.
Had finally found a best friend.
Got a D in Social Science on my progress report, after forgetting to turn in an important paper, and was working furiously to bring it up to an A (and was successful, too).
5 years ago I:
Was a sophomore at Tomball High School.
Was finally starting to fit in -- or so I thought.
Had just finished playing a chorus role in the school production of The Taming of the Shrew.
Thought that the boy I would have a crush on for the next two years might have a crush on me.
Was (re)discovering my love of writing, reading and literature in general.
1 year ago I:
Had been living in my spiffy new apartment for four months.
Was still adjusting to my co-workers at Starbucks.
Was obsessively checking my grade report online every 15 minutes, and was thrilled that I managed a B in Texas history.
Had begun payments for my trip to Italy and was squirming with anticipation.
Was very worried that my plans to see Alec might fall through.
1 month ago I:
Was a nervous wreck, for various reasons.
Had got all of the classes I wanted for next semster, at last.
Had just got back my Moby-Dick essay, and was glowing with pleasure at my prof's comments.
Was fretting over the paper that I still haven't finished.
Was wishing that school could be over sooner.
1 week ago I:
Was even more of a nervous wreck than I was 1 month ago.
Was fighting with my best friend.
Was finishing up my last week of classes.
Had got two good critiques from my professors.
Was writing a last-minute paper.
Yesterday I:
Had a few good talks with caring friends.
Spent most of the day with my mom.
Picked up all my artwork and supplies from school.
Ate salad and green veggies for the first time in a long time (not exactly the healthiest eater, you might say).
Had a bad night's sleep.
Today I:
Cried a lot.
Had the most heartbreaking conversation of my entire life.
Am beginning to find peace, though.
Procrastinated like nobody's business.
Need to write the rest of that blasted paper.
Tomorrow I:
Must take an exam.
Must turn in aforementioned paper.
Will then be completely done with the semester.
Might visit the art department and pilfer the leftovers from cleanup day, if I feel like it.
Really need to go make a deposit at the bank.
Five places I've lived:
Austin, Texas
Tomball, Texas
Slidell, Louisiana
Midland, Texas
Corpus Christi, Texas
My top five biggest worries at the moment:
That this peace, such as it is, will be short-lived.
That I'll never be able to open myself up to anyone again.
That Micki won't have a good holiday.
That I won't have time to find decent Christmas gifts for everyone.
That I'll get a B in one of my English classes because this paper is going to royally suck.
