So it's time for my 10-year high-school reunion. I've been looking forward to this event for awhile... I wasn't "popular" in HS (I was a science nerd and evangelical, for crying out loud), but I was never bitter about the experience, either. In fact, I really enjoyed it, and I'd like to see how everyone else is doing 10 years on. I knew most people, even if they didn't know me, and I know I'd remember most of their names/faces.
The problem is that the reunion is taking place at the end of October. There is no holiday weekend around that time, so I'd have to take at least a day off to attend. I'd also have to fly from PA to Seattle ($350 right now) for 3 days, at most, and pay an additional $75 for the reunion itself.
If ktspktsp can make it, he'd also have to take a day off and pay the same amount... which is just a heck of a lot of money.
But, it only happens once every ten years, right? Is it worth it?
I always thought it would be, but then again, I actually moved away from my hometown and did pretty cool things with my life. So I feel like the people who are doing anything other than living in their hometown, getting married and making babies, will be too busy or far away to be able to make it to the reunion... and those are the people I really want to see again.
What do you guys think? Did anyone here attend their reunion, and if so, were you glad you went or disappointed? What about those who flew long distances to attend the reunion? Same question.
Thanks!
