So...my mom and I had stayed up talking until 1am...so we had a slow start today...we did make some food for a picnic...and then ran a couple errands. We packed up the food...and met my dad at Moundbuilders Park for a picnic....we sat in the shade of a tree and had chicken sandwiches with tomatoes and lettuce, pickles, potato salad, fruit salad, and carrots...it was all so yummy! Once we were done...we visited for awhile and then my mom and I proceeded to walk through the Moundbuilders Museum...checked out the Octagon Mound at the Moundbuilders Country Club, the Alligator Mound in Granville...and while in Granville we went to Whits (homemade frozen custard) and a cute little shop where my mom bought my birthday present...a beautiful ring. We drove through Dennison University...and then headed back to Newark. We went to OSU-N and walked around campus...then headed to my high school...walked on campus and looked at the buildings. As we walked around we ran into a teacher who had my sister for a class or two and he told us my high school was scheduled to be leveled starting in April of next year! I was shocked!! They are going to make a new, state of the art, handicap accessible building...ah, that is rough...I understand why...but it was soooo cool knowing that I graduated from a CAMPUS STYLE high school...one of only a few in the country! We walked around and took pictures...and then headed to Roosevelt...my junior high school...which has been empty for two years and has my ELEMENTARY SCHOOL going there this year while my elementary school is being updated. We walked through those halls and I looked for familiar rooms...it was bittersweet...once we were done...we headed back home and I changed...I met my friends at the Y for a Zumba Class...which was AWESOME!! What a great workout! Made me want to do that style of exercise again! We had a great workout then headed to Olive Garden for dinner...and talked and talked....it was great! Then I headed home to pack...I was going to be leaving the next day!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I didn't know that about Nerk High! What are they going to do w/ the kids? I suppose they'll go building by building. Did the teacher say anything else?? And you got to go IN Roosevelt? Oh maaan! I'd like to go in/through Central Elementary some day. I only went to JC for 1 year. So, '80(?) was my last year at Central.
I did go into Roosevelt. That is where John Clem was going to be this year...and it was cool. It seemed bigger when we were there!
