Hello!

Hello all,

I just checked the blog today for the first time in awhile (since Toast was in Sweden, actually). It sounds like those of you who have posted since then are busy and up to great things (including lots of skiing apparently!). Nate, congrats on the job! Jamie, it was great to see you up at Colby, and good luck on your finals! Val, I am obsessed w/my kids too and I talk about them all the time so I can definitely relate (school kids, I don't have any children of my own, don't worry). Toast, I hope your Thanksgiving went well and thanks for the birthday love!

I am busy working in the Special Ed department at an elementary school near my home outside Chicago. I really like the job, although living at home is a drastic (and sad) change from life last year. I pretty much spend every weekend with my boyfriend and friends in the city though which is a lot of fun. I haven't run into anyone from Colby around here, although I have heard that a few people from our class and a few '07ers are living in Chicago. I was in New York a few weeks ago, staying with Lauren Langford, and I had the pleasure of hanging out w/a number of Colby people including Caroline A. and Mollie Puskar (who took a bus in from Boston for the weekend), Mary H., Aditya, Kabatz, and Ian Singer and all of his friends. I had a great time and am looking forward to seeing more of you ASAP!

Hope all is well with everyone and Happy Holidays! Take care!

Anna
