Reunion

My ten-year college reunion is this weekend! I can't wait. I've been teaching K our fight song. At our 5-year reunion, I loved the feeling of walking down the street and seeing so many people I knew. I felt like I belonged there again.

There was an article in the Harvard alumni magazine about how Harvard alums avoid their reunions because they feel their lives can never measure up to the expectations of their classmates. The author wrote about how from their first day at school, Harvard undergrads secretly worry that they're not smart enough to be there, and years later, they secretly still worry that they're not accomplished enough to go back. How sad is that? And the author is on the reunion committee. She encouraged everyone to attend despite their crushing feelings of inadequacy.

We're less ambitious. My only worry about reunion is that there will be a long line at the felafel place.
