Happy Wednesday, friends!
Per my usual, I’m participating in Joyce’s Hodgepodge.
I look forward to reading your answers to the questions Joyce wrangled up for us this week.
1. When someone finds out what you do or where you’re from, what’s a question they always ask?
When people learn that I work at the college, they always ask, “Oh, do you teach?”
It’s actually more of an assumption than a question – one in which I’m more than happy to answer with an emphatic “no.”
I did teach (high school and middle school) for over ten years, but that part of my life is way behind me. I have zero desire to return to the classroom.
To everything (turn, turn, turn) – There is a season (turn, turn, turn) . . .
2. Did you participate in ‘Greek Life’ when you were in college, or have children who did? If so what was your experience like? Taking another tack…have you ever been to Greece? If not, is that a destination on your bucket list?
I did not go away to college. I commuted back and forth to a community college 45 minutes away from home. As a result, I missed out on the sorority experience. I doubt I would have gone out for rush anyhow. I wasn’t very confident when I was younger. I was a little socially awkward.
My daughter attended a private Christian college that didn’t have sororities. My son attended Auburn for a year. He joined the Christian fraternity on campus and met a few lifelong friends.
I have not been to Greece, but it’s definitely on my bucket list!
3. Do you like Greek food? If so what’s your favorite dish?
Most Greek dishes are not vegan friendly. I’d be open to try vegan versions though.
4. What incredibly common thing have you never done?
I’ve never had Botox.
5. What is a telltale sign that you’re upset?
I’m a talker. I was once told that I tried to talk even after being put under to have my wisdom teeth out.
When I get completely quiet, you know I’m upset.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Sunday, I finished reading this book . . .
Joyce reviewed it a week or two on her blog, so when I needed something new to read, I checked it out.
I don’t often cry when I read a book. I did with this one. What Japanese Americans endured during this dark period of history was shameful.
Alright, y’all! Have a wonderful week! Auburn kicks off its first game Friday night. I’m sure we will gather with friends somewhere to watch.
War Eagle!
