For all of you who do not read the comments…Dawn posted a message:

Hi everyone!! Stupid hotmail deleted all of my old messages, so I lost the link that Shira had given us to post messages, and I haven’t actually figured out how to do it yet from the website…I know you all find that hard to beleive…so I hope everyone reads the comments!! It was so good to read all of your messages, I miss you all soooo much!!!!!!! Nicole, I’m so sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time, but it is completely normal to be upset that he has a new girlfriend…it will keep getting easier though, and eventually you’ll have a new guy of your own! Jen, I’m glad to hear your new job is going well…I can’t believe you’re a manager!!!! And I also can’t believe you missed the Dave concert…Caitlin K., CANCUN???!!! That’s so awesome!! Congrats on almost being done with your first semester! I hope your cadaver is doing well, and that you didn’t butcher her too badly 🙂 Shira, how are you? I love the uniform…they’re kind of fun aren’t they?? And htey greatly decrease the amount of time it takes to get ready in the morning! We’ll be in the same state again tomorrow…yay! Frances, I just talked to you, so I know things are going pretty well…you neglected to mention this boy though! Yay for drunken hookups 🙂 Jess, that sounds like a really tough decision…have you picked which job you’re going with yet? I’m glad to hear wedding plans are going well! Laura, I can’t believe you hurt yourself already. Actually, yes I can. That sucks about your commute, but I hope you’re enjoying what you’re doing and learning a lot! Caitlin L., what’s up girlie? I’m actually kind of glad you didn’t move yet, you were making me nervous talking abotu moving to NYC without a job! I think the pharmacuetical thing sounds great though…you guys give us free stuff!

As for me…RI was an adventure…I will tell you all more about it later, but Shira kindly posted the first two weeks for me. Awful. The middle was ok…hte last week was a blast. We were pretty much on our own…we went out and got drunk a lot, like only sailors can, we went to Boston for a day…I actually did have a mini thing going with one guy…you can’t really have much of a thing, they’re not allowed. But Caitlin K., you would be so proud…he’s black, bald, and has an incredible body…if I can figure it out I’ll post a picture. AND…he’s stationed in Great Lakes, right near you. Wierd, huh? Going out in public in uniform was the oddest thing in the entire world. You get so used to being anonymous…but people actually took pictures of us, bought us drinks, thanked us, we got discounts…really wierd, but really cool! I’m going to stop now cause this is really long, but I will update again soon, and can’t wait to hear from all of you! I leave for Cali tomorrow…yikes!! Talk to you soon! Love and miss you all terribly!
