Where are they now.....?
Before I moved apartments (for the millionth time), I used to get my college journal. After a cursory skim through the pictures to look for familiar pages, I'd get to the best part - the Class Notes - where brief updates on many classmates and old (and sometimes forgotten) friends awaited. Who was married, who was back in school, who moved halfway around the world and who got a new job? Of course, you had to actually write in and tell the Alumni office what you were doing in order to be featured, which meant that none of my friends ever made it in there (tsk tsk).
But now that the alumni office has lost track of me, despite me sending them my new address. I no longer receive the journal, and have lost track of all those people I didn't really want to know about. How will I ever find out if that cute soccer player ever got married, or where that weird guy down the hall is now? And that annoying know-it-all from stats class..... whatever happened to her.
So we (former roommate and I) wrote our own class notes about some of our friends..... here goes.....
-S has moved to the heartlands of Alabama and has started her very own horse farm. She has discovered the intense satisfaction one can attain from hours spent cleaning and mucking out horse stalls.
-M has moved to Blue Creek, Utah and there might be wedding bells on the horizon as she vies for the position of 3rd wife to a prominent local Mormon priest.
-E has moved to Glacier Fields, Patagonia and is currently undergoing intensive survival training in preperation for the wilderness camp he will be running in the fall.
-A has discovered her calling in Fiji, where she runs a kindergarten school by day and spins for the local club by night. She invites all to join her in her tropical paradise.
-N has renounced the corporate world and found a new career in plumbing. Since it pays as much, if not more than she made before, she will happily service your pipes if you live in any of NY's boroughs.
-R is happily married with a third child on the way. He and his family have moved to a condo in Charlotte, NC where he is rapidly climbing the corporate ladder at Wachovia. He has discovered a passion for suits, and is also becoming a bit of a clothes horse.
-J is teaching English and Social Studies at a local high school in Vancouver. He spends most of his weekends fishing at one of the frozen lakes in the region as he works towards his First Aid certification.
-B operates the most frequently called American Express customer service number in India, where all female clients are patched directly to his line. In his spare time he has taken up gardening and recently won a prize for his tomatoes.
