September 1995 (I was 18 - let me emphasize that again, 18!)
- I drove a small, red Honda CRX with a sunroof. Today I drive a small, red Honda Civic with a sunroof.
- After class I'd throw my books in the car & rock out to Led Zeppelin before long jump practice. After class today I threw the books in the car, and the first song on the radio after I hit the highway: Over the Hills and Far Away.
- I was a poor student applying to colleges. I'm a poor graduate student getting ready to apply for doctoral programs.
- I spent most of my evenings working on French. I'm going nuts learning Hebrew.
- Class consisted of my 18-yr old peers. Did I mention that my last class of the day was downtown at the main campus....with 1st year undergrads?

Um, I hate to break it to you, but you were not 18 in 1999...
um, i hate break it to you, but you are simply going backwards, that is, you're backtracking. think black hole. though you continue to get older.
i see you have your years straight now. just had to maintain the integrity of 1999 for those of us who WERE 18 then. ;)
Scott, you simply have not seen me in several weeks! As of writing this note, I appear to others as a 20-yr old. This premise will be explored further in an upcoming movie starring Brad Pitt.
1999 was a good year to be 22! I drove a red car that year as well (Eclipse, not a honda). And, I was still poor. And, instead of jumps, I was infatuated with power cleaning! About the only difference is that I'm woefully out of shape now.
And I didn't know you then! You were a senior in high school. Which would have been weird.
