twist

So I started tutoring, and this guy starts asking me questions on vector calc. Naturally, as I'm paid to, I try my best and help him. GAH! I think. Dot product! Oh geez. The guy looks familar. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's like I've seen him before. He asks me my name. I tell him my name is Mitch. Mitch Wilson, he asks. Yes, I reply.

And then I realized it was Chris. From kindergarten. From the gifted program back in Douglas (our version of GATE- we called it M.A.S (More Advanced Students)). Chris, whose dad went to high school with my mom. A mix of giddyness and sheer surprise lit my face up. We talked for a bit, but I had people to attend to. He had places to go. I did get his phone number. So random. So awesome!!!!!!

This now makes a total of 3. Count it, 3. people from Douglas that I know that have made it to college. One is at NAU studying to become a PE teacher like his mom. One goes here, and I think maybe still does? Her facebook just talks of partying; not the girl I used to know. And now Chris. It really was a good day.
