Blast to the Past

I store boxes upon boxes of old high school papers, and I've lugged them around for years - always a nuisance, always useless, and always on the precipice of being thrown out altogether. I mean, some of these papers include old algebra homework problems, and basically the only thing I parted with was the scratch paper.

Who knew these old loads of crap would resurface to usefulness someday? Well...I guess I can proudly say that I must have suspected it in the back of my mind all this time - otherwise I wouldn't have kept them. Nevertheless, it made me no less surprised when I actually found myself digging up my old US history binders and getting ready to pass them onto a new student.
