More things I've done.

[saxikath]

I find myself fascinated by this whole "10 things I've done that I don't think you have" meme. Thinking about my own list, and reading other people's lists, have led to some great stories and to thinking about some great memories that hadn't come to mind in a long time.

So here are a few more things I've done. Some involved people on my friends list, so they don't really count as "I've done this and you haven't," but I think they still sort of fit the spirit of things. This is mostly for my own benefit, to remind myself that I have done interesting things in my life, and things that are worth remembering, even though it doesn't always feel that way these days.

• Walked through the streets of the old Moorish quarter of Granada while being followed by a large dog.
  
• Attended classes at a German high school.
  
• Given my first boyfriend Gouda cheese for Valentine's Day. (Hey, he said he liked it!)
  
• Gone horseback riding in Grand Teton National Park.
  
• Eaten hot and sour soup in a campground in Grand Teton National Park. (After the aforementioned horseback ride. Yay for my dad.)
  
• Helped make a dragon out of cardboard covered with green florist's foil. (It actually looked really good when we were done.)
  
• Spent ninth grade attending junior high in the morning and high school in the afternoon.
  
• Sung the national anthem at a Red Sox game at Fenway Park (with dotknocker and the rest of the church choir).
  
• Helped demolish a semi trailer. (With some people on my friends list.)
  
• Run a planetarium console.

When did you take classes at a German high school? Story?

[saxikath]

When I was a junior (I think? Maybe sophomore.) in high school, my best friend was an exchange student in Germany for the year. The following summer, my family visited Germany. She was still there, and her school was in session, so I spent a night with her at her host family's house and went to school with her the next day.

In ninth grade I went to high school in the morning (for math class) and then junior high for the rest of the day. Not the same, but in the ballpark.

I share the planetarium console operation with you, as you may have guessed.

So do I! I had this incredible science teacher in high school who was responsible for us having our own (small, but fully functional) planetarium and getting a real NASA space capsule (used of course).

Attended classes at a German high school.

I did that a bit when I was on my high school trip... We were there during our summer vacation, though, so we weren't really required to go to classes...

Given my first boyfriend Gouda cheese for Valentine's Day.

That reminds me that Binghamton Summer Savoyards, or at least the men's chorus, have an inexplicable ongoing inside joke involving Gouda...

Spent ninth grade attending junior high in the morning and high school in the afternoon.

In 8th grade I would go to the high school for German II, which was shortly after lunchtime... I would get to Algebra late every day, but this didn't really cause a problem... Later, in 11th grade, I basically had the afternoons off (though I had AP Biology right after lunch) because I was taking college courses--but I was taking "Individualized" German, which meant I went in every few weeks to take tests or quizzes and have conversation practice... Actually, in the winter in spring I was taking Individualized French, which was basically the same deal. Life was good. (well, mostly)

*laughing out loud* I once gave a boyfriend Munster for Valentines Day. Awesome. :)

Sorry, #2 is no good. I too have attended classes at a German high school. Heidelberg Gymnasium (sp?) for 5 months. :)

Oh, whoops! I didn't read the disclaimer above the list. :)

I'm not sure I can even come up with 10 things. I, too, have done too many of the interesting things in my life with my friends. ;)
