e_clarefinally started going through and tossing out the high school papers this afternoon. even though i know that i never throw anything away, i've still been surprised at how much stuff i actually kept.
the manila envelope labeled "titanic," for example (and its buddy, labeled "star wars articles"). there's the card my freshman english teacher gave me after i cried at the parent-teacher conference, the "happy 15th birthday; you go, girl!" locker sign from 9th grade, and a "some notes on notecards" handout from the 8th grade career research project.
i'm keeping the academic papers, funny handouts ("there is no sanctioned senior skip day!!!", the h.s. newsletter reminds us), and whatever miscellany strikes my fancy. i've still got two large plastic tubs of stuff to go through--no idea what it could be.
(instead of actually cleaning before my graduation party two years ago, we just threw all the junk into big bins and moved them upstairs. haven't touched 'em since. mom's suggestion before we have company is always "get some more storage tubs," but i try to talk her out of it, just because it would be two more years before we got to them.)
EDIT: the "nostalgic" icon looks more like "how did i get here?" weird.
