yendiI just got another invite to my Ten-year college reunion (Yeep! I turn 32 in fifteen days!). I'm still not planning on going, both because I don't exactly need a primer in how Emory's changed in the last ten years, and because I find college reunions more pointless than high school ones. In high school, my class was my peers. Sure, I had some friends in other grades, but the other kids who graduated with me were the ones I knew best. In college, it was nothing of the sort. With the exception of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hamlet423, I don't think that anyone in our gaming group was from my year, and very few other folks from the Class of '94 were folks I ever saw with any regularity once I left my freshman hall. And even if I could pull together a good chunk of folks from that year that I'd like to see again, out of the fifteen hundred or so folks, what are the odds of even spotting them? So yeah, not wasting my time on this one.
But it was interesting that the latest mailing listed the names of the folks on the reunion committee. I recognized three of them. Two of them are folks I'd be happy never seeing again. Not exactly encouraging (the third is someone who was nice enough, but not exactly a close friend).

Date: 2004-03-25 08:34 am (UTC)Never been invited to a reunion at mine. Didn't know they did that. Of course, I never joined the SRSU Alumni Association either, maybe that's it. But I was thinking just the other day ... that's what "Homecoming' is all about - coming back.
yup
Date: 2004-03-27 06:19 am (UTC)Of course, the other factor is that it seems every event on the list requires an RSVP and a payment of like $50-65 bucks. I have already given emory way too much of my money for me to invest any more.
Still, I wouldnt mind getting away from michigan for a few days! But nevertheless I'll be doing Cardiac intensive care in may and I couldn't make it anyway.
And whats the logic of moving this to May again? Aside from better weather? The local hotel/traffic scene is super painful right before graduation.
