Meeting former classmates from SIS tonight was a wonderful feeling. (Not just because everyone got to see what each other was up to...)
It was so much of an affirmation. We talked and played with others that we would very rarely have met back in South Island School. I think we all felt a little closer to those people we didn't know so well before, because we were in different social groups. Looking back, that was a little lame but I guess that was part of the process...
(I had long dreamed of such a reunion a few years back, but I guess the vision was still ahead of its time. I'm glad I've now been in that vision.)
I wish we could have stayed a bit longer together but I guess we were tired, so we fell back into the woodwork we came out of, feeling a little more connected.

Well, it's only 1 year since SIS, so I don't think we yearn our secondary school times that much at the present. Maybe when we finish university and are working we will yearn for those times more.
My sister is starting IB this August (2011) and it does feel a bit surreal seeing her preparation (or lack of) for it.
I think it's nice to have these kind of meetings. Personally I haven't been to any with substantial number of participants due to me being generally busy from internship (hence this rather late reply). I doubt you would get to talk about deeper issues; but then these sorts of meetings are not for those.
I guess it is mostly 吹水? But that's important too. Fellow students in university are merely colleagues; those from high school are classmates. But then, that is an off-topic issue.
It's really interesting... people who have been abroad seem to talk more but I end up feeling more mature about myself.
Secondary school people are classmates, but some weren't even acquaintances for me.
Looking back, people at the gathering were as plugged in as they were in secondary school (ie they went straight to the video games!).
I've always felt alienated by large social circles back in school. Going to university, I saw that it wasn't as big a deal as I made it out to be.
To be absolutely honest, I think the main thing about these reunions is simply that they are a great way to peek behind the screen most people put up for the rest of the world to look at. (eg. Facebook)
