High School
September 18, 2008
1. Did you date someone from your school? No. I was anti-serious dating for high school students. But there were many I would have gladly dated otherwise.
2. What kind of car did you drive? Red Toyota truck that was older than me, then a white chevy truck.
3. Were you a party animal? No. I ran with really Mormony crowds.
4. Were you considered a flirt? I don’t know. I was definitely a flirt, but not a successful one. So who knows?
5. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Choir. One of the best experiences of high school. We had a fantastic director who demanded excellence. He gave us all kinds of experience that I will never forget. We got to go to California on choir tour. We sang in temple visitors’ centers, a school for severely handicapped students, the Capital Theater, and tons of other places. Our director gave us the opportunity (if we were so inclined) to feel the spirit at school and at school activities.
6. Were you a nerd? Kind of. A nerd who had all the right friends.
7. Were you on any varsity teams? I was a varsity slacker, but who’s gonna make a team out of that?
8. Did you get suspended/expelled? no
9. Can you still sing the fight song? Yes. But only because I relearned as a teacher there. And by the way, I think our school song rocks. It’s completely untrue, but it supports the right values.
10. Who were your favorite teachers? Dahlquist (Choir) and Mckee (Japanese).
11. Where did you sit during lunch? In the hall or on the infamous “bench.”
12. What was your school’s full name? Payson High School
13. School mascot? Lions
14. If you could go back and do it again, would you? For sure. I know that makes me a geek or immature, but high school was good times. Mom and Dad paid for everything. No job. Friends galore. It was the life.
15. What do you remember most about graduation? Singing in the choir. And it was so boring I didn’t go when I graduated with my associates or my bachelors.
16. Where did you go senior skip day? no idea. but i’m pretty sure i didn’t go to Lagoon.
17. Were you in any clubs? How else do you meet boys?
18. Have you gained some weight since then? I have gained and lost exactly* 3 million pounds since high school (*not an exact number). Luckily, I currently weigh less than when I graduated from high school. Woo hoo! But that’s not really saying much. I was always a fatty.
19. Who was your prom date? Matthew Angus Mortensen
20. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? I sure am. In fact, I’m planning it if no one else is. (The jerks didn’t do s 5 year).
