I'm bored.

So I was supposed to go to see the school musical, the Wiz, tonight. But my mom didn't feel like driving me. 


So I decided to do things that all kids do when they get bored: go through their parent's old high school yearbooks. I grabbed my mom's freshman year yearbook from 1976, which was also when my uncle was a senior. That way I could look at both of them and how nerdy they looked. 


I was looking at all the clubs and stuff my uncle was in.
Holy Crap. 
So apparently, he was the editorial editor of their school paper. And he was part of "Quill and Scroll," which was some organization that picks the top journalists who rank in the top 1/3 of their class. 
Then I called my grandma and asked her about it. Turns out that SHE was in Quill and Scroll way back in 1953! My grandma was on her school's newspaper and just now told me. To that, I must say wow. 
And my mom was on her school's newspaper, too. She was also Editorial Editor and in Quill and Scroll. Seriously, before today I didn't know any of this--just the stuff about my uncle.
All I have to say is HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE!?!?! You would think that me taking a journalism class would make them say "Oh yeah, I was part of my high school's newspaper, too."
But what sort of scares me is that all 3 of them were on staff, and 2 of them were editors, but none of them made anything of it. They grew up to be a pharmacist, secretary, and teacher, respectively. 
I don't think I could handle doing any of those. No. I could handle pharmacist or secretary if I had to, but I will NEVER be a teacher. MAYBE I could handle being a journalism teacher. Maybe. But that's it. 


So there's my rant for this evening...considering I haven't blogged in days I think that was a great way to come back!
