High school...down in the parking and up the ramp

Since tonight was part one of my 20-year high school reunion (ahh!), it is only fitting that I write about a high school memory. There were many fun times at Hermitage, but I think my best memories involve music. Tonight, during the tour of the school, I had to visit the music rooms and take that walk up the ramp to the commons.

Of course, the memory that flashed before me was an embarrassing one. Ha! Walking into school one day before Christmas break, I fell in the parking lot coming into the school. The orchestra students were performing with the band students for the Christmas concert so I had to bring my violin to school. There was some icy slush in the parking lot, and guess who slipped on it? Yep, me! I was walking into the building with a friend, who, when I fell, nearly peed his pants laughing at me. My skirt was drenched and my pride was wounded, but I was doubled over with laughter, too. :)
