Letters.....: Dear Matrics of 2000

So the big day finally arrived on Saturday...our 10 year reunion. The weeks building up to this event have been filled with excitement, annoyance, stress and eagerness for me and JG who were organizing the event. At first everyone was keen to attend, in fact they were mumbling and grumbling because up until the point of us organizing something nobody had even attempted to organize a reunion.

Then, as the RSVP deadline loomed closer everybody went dead quiet. I had to send about a million reminders. Then of course there were the people who only RSVP'd after the deadline, the ones who begged and pleaded with me to come even though they can only pay at a date after the actual reunion. Eventually I agreed to let the one girl and her date come even though she wouldn't be able to pay before the 19th. I would live to regret this decision. The budget was carefully planned for the people who were coming, we didn't have any spare money, but there was enough for everyone. Then this girl who didn't pay didn't pitch and now she's refusing to pay...even though i already spent the money on them. To say i was extremely ticked off would be an understatement.

Anyway, back to the more pleasant memories of the weekend. Not many people attended, but the ones that did really wanted to be there. We had so much fun, catching up, talking nonsense, laughing a mile a minute and sharing good food. I was pleasantly surprised to find that people do eventually grow up and change for the better and find that place where they are supposed to be. Seeing this in my old school friends really made me smile. It was a happy moment and a happy realisation.

My one friend brought her little girl along..she was too gorgeous and stole every body's hearts...including mine. She spent the largest part of the evening with me, playing games, eating with me and just sitting on my lap. If i ever have children i hope they are as chilled and easy going as that little girl!

Thank you for a wonderful day and a fun filled reunion...it was awesome to catch up with everyone.

Love

Seriously...how adorable is this child??? This is not her dad BTW...it's JG, the old head boy

That would be me, paying attention to something that somebody was saying....or maybe just wondering what the hell they were on about.
