Nostalgia
Isn’t it funny how the commonest item can just set you off on a trip down memory lane? I was rooting around in one of my closets today, and came across a couple of old Latin textbooks from high school. As I was flipping through the pages, I saw lots of notes in the margins. But not notes on the lecture or anything like that. No, these were notes that I was writing to my friend who sat next to me in class. We’d write in our books so we could have “conversations” without the teacher catching on.
So anyway, I have my half of all kinds of conversations in my book here. They say things like “That’s so nasty!” or “Did you hear about Katie and Mark?” I can only imagine what those comments were about.
I spent about an hour with that book, remembering the various people from my class. We had some good times in Latin…!
