Flashback Friday #3

Senior year, apparently just a few weeks before graduation from Walla Walla College, I was finishing up a journalism class on participant observation. One of my exercises? Being left handed. A friend's father who was a doctor in town agreed to cast me for the experiment. Turns out, wearing a cast on your right hand doesn't make you left handed, it makes you one handed. Although I had difficulty driving stick, taking a shower, typing, writing and applying mascara, I seriously enjoyed freaking people out by banging my cast on the wall to convince them I wasn't actually hurt.

I tried once in elementary school and once in college. No surprise that "learn how to play piano" is now on my "lifetime" goal list.

Is there a creepier photo on the planet? I think not.

During college I worked as a resident assistant for a couple years. My secret to success? Baking and providing copious amounts of sweet things. I'm afraid I really confused  people though by having Jimmy Fallon's "Chris Rock was my RA" as my voicemail message.

Dig the 70s-80s furniture.

Eric John makes the best birthday paintings.

Senior year Spring break in Washington D.C. walking to or from a national monument with one of my besties.

Another college job? News anchor at Blue Mountain News. My favorite co-anchor, Charlie Drury.

What does one do with a 5-year plaque?

I think this pack of music is circa 1998 from girls' choir.
