I am batching it for today and the last few days. Wife visiting family. Anyway that leaves me with too much time to think/ponder things. LOL
I have talked about how I started working before high school an was married during my Junior and Senior year. As for classes and learning I KNOW I did not miss out on much. I took all college prep classes and had a 3.5 GPA. Had 25 credits and only needed 15 to graduate. So that leaves social and activities. I have a few friends from school but not more than two I would call close. I did not do any of the sports and clubs activities. I really found the majority of my class mates to be so immature that I had little to nothing in common with them. I did not care who won a "game" the night before. Who was dating who meant nothing to me either.
So my question is...... Did I really miss out on all that much???
Socially I think MAYBE. I am not comfortable in large groups of people unless it is a business meeting/setting. An example is I have spoke in front of large groups of people (250-300) in a business setting and had no trouble. I have been to much smaller social gatherings and been extremely uncomfortable. So maybe just interacting with family when I was younger might have been a draw back.
Activities: Well I place little value on sports. I should say watching or just being fan. I do not understand how people can get so involved in these "games" that it rules large parts of their lives. The current college basketball tournament is a read example. I would be hard pressed to name more than two teams that are still in the thing. Now playing sports I can understand the enjoyment there. I liked playing basketball up until I was in my mid fifties. My knees just can't take the pounding anymore.
How does these things relate to my life today??? If I set down with a group of none farm men or women I find them difficult to talk to. I do not drink. I do not pay attention to sports. I have few hobbies that are not directly related to farming or working. So I guess I am a pretty boring fellow. LOL Sure not the life of a party.
When I see all the stuff the kids today do it is kind of mind boggling. They are busier than people that work for a living. This club/sport/group. They seem to be always running here and there.
