10 Year Reunion

This past Saturday Shelby and I went to my 10 year reunion. I'm glad I went!
It seems to me that no one has changed. They still hang out with the same people every weekend, drink with the same people every weekend and haven't really gone anywhere. Of course they have jobs and kids and a house, but they haven't moved beyond the high school. For the people i graduated with this was just another weekend to see each other and party.
I wanted it to be something special, something to remember. I was glad that I got to see some of my old classmates, but for the most part it was a little disappointing.
When we were on our way home I told Shelby that I had worked so hard over the past 10 years to remove myself from everyone that I felt no connection to them when I saw them. There were people there that had changed and done something with themselves, but like me they had removed themselves from the whole scene. It was good to catch up with those people and that was it.
So all in all it was a learning expierence. I learned that some people will never change, but thats just who they are. I might go to my 20 year, but that will have to be something more thought over in the next 10 years.
