Thinking Back

Six months ago, I was unaware of online journals. It's true, where was I?

A year ago, I had finally saved enough money to buy a new house. It would be only the second place I ever lived.

Five years ago, I began my career in civil engineering with the company. My first project involved reroofing a public library.

Ten years ago, I was a sophomore in college, planning trips to Sharks games and organizing the university's College Bowl tournament.

Fifteen years ago, I was in the eighth grade and had decided to become a civil engineer when I grew up.

About twenty years ago, my mom gave me a five-year journal to write in, but I never touched it. It now lays hidden away in a box somewhere.

Fascinating trivia, I know, but it may be handy should I ever become an answer on Jeopardy.
