High school is a strange thing.
I'm on spring break from college for the week, and I went to see the musical at my high school last night. When I was in high school, I was pretty involved in the theatre program, whether I was on stage, back stage, or just attending. As usual, the school put on an excellent performance. It felt weird to be back in the building, though.
I think it felt so strange not only because I'm not a student there anymore, but because I moved away from the area the summer I graduated. Just being back in my old town and seeing people I used to see on a daily basis again felt unnatural. It was really good to see a lot of the people I saw, but it was odd. A good odd, though ... if that makes sense.
One thing that I thought was interesting was the people who did (and didn't) say hi. When you're in high school with these people, you think you can tell which ones will be friendly and greet you after you've graduated, but I was taken by surprise last night. There were people who I thought would be super friendly and say hello, but they would make eye contact and simply walk away. Others, people who I didn't feel I was very close with in high school, came up to greet me and were genuinely curious about how I was and how college was going.
I guess this is all simply part of growing up and moving on to new phases of life. Like I said, I had a great time. I just made some interesting observations is all.
