The last group of former high schoolers are finally beginning new lives of their own... Some people are most likely doing wonderful, great things, some are probably just discovering every single different kind of alcohol that is available in this country, some are finding that they are horribly homesick, some aren't sure why exactly they went to college, some forgot they even left home, and some are probably doing absolutely nothing. But from the "some" that I have heard from, here's where they are, and what's new with them:

Who: Kaari Stockel
Location: Alexandria, Virginia (Pretty much Washington D.C.)
Status: Kaari is finding out that, as a white girl, she is a minority in the capital of the United States of America. Most of the people she sees from day to day are Asian, Hispanic, or African American.

Who: Clea Will
Location: James Madison University in Virginia
Status: Clea is currently enrolled in EIGHT classes. One of which I heard is called (in pronunciation format) "Oral Skills."

Who: George Wathen
Location: Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado
Status: George went running the other day, and "the altitude kicked his ass."

Who: Emily Blair
Location: University of Montana in Bozeman, Montana
Status: Emily is now a brunette.

Who: Brianne Hanson
Location: University of Alaska: Anchorage
Status: Brianne's roommate is from "Tatitlic." And apparently it really sounds like "ta-TIT-LICK."

Who: Hannah Hutton
Location: Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania
Status: Hannah's favorite class is "Psychopathology." -Apparently because she can relate... Also, according to Hannah, "It is also becoming quite obvious that I am not "East coast" enough. While no one is mean, there is a definite distance between the traditional white, wealthy, popped collar girls and basically the West coast or international people."

Who: Danielle Cassedy
Location: Willamette University in Salem, Oregon
Status: Danielle is especially enjoying the train track that runs about 20 feet from her dorm... And also the treacherous sky bridge that she must cross to get from her dorm to the main campus. But other than that, she says "things are just wonderful."

Who: Jennifer Vallion
Location: University of Alaska: Anchorage
Status: Jennifer has been hearin' it all, up in the Northern part of our home state... She says that the walls are pretty thin in her dorm and she is well aware of her roommate and roommate's boyfriends' activities. Also, while she rode the shuttle, a crazy "black girl" from the basketball team said, "Hi, I'm Crystal. Don't mind my friend here. She's grumpy because her chlamydia just came back."

Who: Robyn Schlins
Location: Everett, Washington
Status: Robyn is still on crutches. (She attempted to learn how to skateboard before leaving Sitka.)

Who: Coral Pendall
Location: Bard College in New York
Status: Coral recently attended an "Underwear Only" party...

Who: Kristina Bidwell
Location: University of Alaska: Anchorage
Status: Kristina is taking a class called, "Introduction to Logic." -She is learning lots.

Who: Lauren Wild
Location: Brandeis University in Boston, Massachusetts
Status: Lauren is unreachable, but from what I hear she is "just being Lauren."

Who: Tawny Hoyt
Location: University of Montana in Bozeman
Status: Tawny needs to call me when she sees this because I have called her several times and her phone just rings, and rings, and rings, with no answering machine.

Alright, that's all I have folks... If you're sad because you don't have a personal update, well then you should have called me or something... But its never too late. Let me know what's up peoples...
