About Reschool Yourself
Reschool Yourself is a year-long project in self-education and empowerment. This fall, to understand how school shaped my identity, and to reconnect with my imagination and intuition, I'm returning to my childhood classrooms week by week. In the spring, in order to become as self-sufficient as possible, I'll pursue learning opportunities in the U.S. and abroad. Throughout the year, I'll share my transformative experiences of "reschooling" through this website, in the hopes that readers of all ages will exchange their own.

Oh, I totally do! In fact, I robably thought this was a cool game longer than most. Except, we had added a “P” at the end of MASH, to include the possibility of a penthouse, even though I wasn’t even sure what a penthouse WAS, in grades 5 or 6!

This was my maid of honor speech at a wedding this summer. Seriously

I spent hours doing this with friends at the Boys and Girls Club. I have to admit though that I have since forgotten the finer points of divining what my life will look like via MASH.

Hilarious about the penthouse, Margaret. I usually ended up raising 257 kids in a shack.

Oh, I was the queen of MASH! I remember the rule where we could put in at least one crappy choice per category… just to make it interesting. I usually ended up a garbage collector… or a cage dancer once we got into our more creative years.

I remember that rule, too! So much more fun, always anticipating which hilarious surprise your friend would end up with, like marrying one of the teachers. Cage dancer, huh? I imagine that your creative years started in fifth grade? (Perhaps with the Special…ahem, Creative, Olympics?)
