Blast from the past

So my sister came to visit and has now gone back home (more on that later). We went to Kyoto for a few days, and while I was standing outside an Italian restaurant waiting for Michelle to finish in the bathroom, I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a very long time. I didn't quite believe my eyes when I saw fellow alum of both Cornell and Walton HS, Jarrett Silver. How weird is that? I bumped into my lab partner in high school biology unexpectedly... in Japan. Despite the fact that I know he did go to Cornell, I only saw him on campus a few times. I believe he graduated in '02. We talked for a few minutes and went our separate ways, leaving me to reflect on the utter surrealness of the experience. I realized it has actually been 10 years since high school biology. I felt very old.

Someone please draw a profound conclusion from this. I got nada, but it's just too strange.
