I have 5 different senior pictures, or something crazy like that, but this is the one I uploaded, so this is the one you get. I had so much fun taking these. And I ran into someone later in life that said they saw my picture in a flyer, but I don't know that for sure. Kind of cool if it happened. It wasn't this one, though, it was a black and white.
Anyway, senior year. I was actually tan for once in my life because I cooked at night at BW-3 (now Buffalo Wild Wings) and then during the day I'd sleep on the deck. Yes, it takes me that many hours of sunlight to not look like a vampire. That was probably my favorite job ever. We had a lot of fun, I really love to cook, and, even if the hours were bizarre and I didn't get to go out much, I still enjoyed the night shift. I'd work from 5pm until close, which normally meant that I'd get off as early as midnight if I wasn't the closer, 2 am if it had been dead and we could clean before it actually closed, or between 3-6 am if it was a rough night. Not surprisingly, my parents encouraged me to stop working there by October of my senior year because the hours were hurting my schoolwork.
During senior year, I was pretty typical. I had such senioritis, had already been accepted into colleges, and was just having fun. I was SOOOOO ready to move on, but thinking back I enjoyed my time there, too. Isn't that always the way?
What are your senior year memories?
I was class of 1999 too! Oh my god, are we old now? Scary. I was cool and joined band my senior year so I could be near my future husband. It doesn't feel that long ago, but I sure like life now a whole lot better :)
