It's not as much of a shag 'n' brag as you might think--at least, not if you hang out with the people who are there to reunite with friends, not to shag and brag.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I expect that most people will be more interested in your many stories than in the one insufferable jerk with the advanced degrees living in the third world country, etc. Besides, you can feel superior to all the frat boys who went into finance.<BR/><BR/>I can (and at times do) sum up my life since graduation in 5 words: "Married. Still in grad school." No one at my reunion was surprised by the first word--and none of my non-mainstream, non-heterosexual friends seemed to mind--and I had plenty of company with the other four.<BR/><BR/>Also: you've written a fucking novel.

But if I did, the conversations would go like this:<BR/><BR/>former classmate: So, Eva, what have you been doing with yourself?<BR/>Me: I'm a freelance writer.<BR/>former classmate: Cool! When was the last time you had something published?<BR/>Me: Uhhhhh ....

Are there people you want to see? Make sure they're going and only talk to them. That's basically what I did. Plus, everyone feels inferior and like they have accomplished nothing. You can all just joke about it.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729815885208263526noreply@blogger.com
