Remembering...

...going through papers recently and saw a note from my sister from 1991! I was going to Orange Coast Community College then. I was very happy being in college. High school was a good experience too, but I put friends and athletics first *I was a cross country runner and competed in Track and was on the JV soccer team for two years.

The note from her was sweet and she was proud of me for doing well in my coursework.

Those were the days! I had a 1982 Red Toyota Tercel. My cousin sold it to me and I loved that car! Unfortunately, was in a car accident and the front end was crushed a bit and I took it to car shop and they said it was a loss...

I used to play tapes in the tape player! I remember listening to the band, Soul II Soul and going to my dance classes on other side of campus. That was the highlight of the day for me.

Some things that I think of when I think of this time period:
goofy times with my friend, Kim.
A love thang with someone special *Kim introduced us.
The Doors movie was out!
Dates before the love thang (went to Catalina, rode in a dune buggy, wine and cheese parties in Huntington Beach, listening to Live music).
Learning Classical Guitar
Going to eat at outside cafes on Campus with friend, Michelle (good patty melts!)
My hair was long and curly and college was new to me...and I was in a fashion show on campus. They spotted me while I was reading my books on a break from class. Who knows...maybe I could have been a model! *well, I woulda liked the free clothes! But I'm too talkative for that. :)

Life then...and now=a work in progress. I made lots of friends and was actually sad to transfer to Cal State Long Beach. At first I thought I'd be lost in the crowd...but then I started classes in my major: "English 'option in creative writing'" and met some very good friends..in poetry class and from the apartment I moved into...saw the ad posted on kiosk area on campus (old school Craig's List).

I'm remembering...
