CORRECTION

So after the weekend progressed we found out more information about Jill Rierson and it turns out it was an anurism that occured, no wrongful death involved. Which is a relief but still hard for close friends and family. It just brings about a different sense that is a little easier to deal with. So sorry for the misinformation...needless to say it has been an interesting weekend. I will write more later, I just wanted to clarify for any of you that might have known her. I will talk to you soon. Love, anna

Ah the free life

Hey girls!
Today I am a different person. I have had rest, laughs, baths and drinks to slowly re-enter the world of civilized people! I have been done for three days now and it feels amazing! The last final went ok, I still don't know what my grades are but at this point I don't really care. I am just glad to be done!! We have gone morell mushroom hunting...found quite a few and have been having them for dinner the past few nights. Had a party at Ian's house with some friends and laughed all night. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Some pretty crazy news, I just heard this morning and don't know really anything about but, Today a friend of my mom's was found dead in her front yard. Rumor is that it was a violent death, possibly a murder. I just can't get over it, I have been sad, angry and confused all day, and I don't even personally know this woman, it is just sooo disturbing. Her name is Jill Rierson and she was a teacher at Central School. Do any of you know her? I want to wait to really find out what happened because at this point no one really knows and it is just so crazy. I think she lived out by Owen's which freaks me out even more. Things like that don't happen to people we know, it is so shocking. i am sorry to lay this on you but it is all I can think about right now. It comes at a really odd time, Eric is home and playing a gig tonight at Bridged's which will be really fun but my mom is really upset and things are just off. Ahhh, I feel so strange.

I am counting the days to when we can actually talk face to face again and I think of each of you daily with all of the crazy adventures you all must be having. Love you all, anna

gogetembannanabelle

i hope your finals aren't driving you through the roof Anna. i'm thinking hard for you to have super genius and enlightening final thoughts, hopefully the last one will be followed by sunshine and cookies. yum.

can't wait to see you guys soon, i've been in b-town less than 20 hours and i'm off again. it'll honestly be nice in june when i can sit and breathe and take in the happenings of the last months.

joe i hope the morels are jumping into your holey, spore-spreading, mushroom collecting satchels the next few weeks.

bonita, (that's you Katie) suerte en tus ultimos semanas en Mexico! i hope that means something along the lines of you are totally rad and deserve a thousand magic wishes and a genie and many many umbrella drinks and cabana boys to serve them. or
good luck in your last weeks in mexico!

:(

You guys are making me sad I can't be there for the hugs and the fun! :( But I am living vicariously through you through the blog, you will have to tell me all about it when you get home. I have been so antsy to see all of you again. I just got word from Gooch that she will be back on the 12th don't know for how long but we will need to have a night out together (or MANY!) before Ihave to plunge back into school. I am worried I won't be available much of June due to the craziness of school but there is some major quality time that needs to be made up!! I will do my best. I hope you guys have a great romp around europe, I wish I could be there. Katie I hope you are soaking up your final month, I can't wait to see you! Only three more days of finals and chaos and then finally some rest! I'll see you on the other side.
love, anna

may days

today i'm pretty sure the sun may shine again. well, i guess it did, it was a lovely but chilly day but the grass is greener than ever and i wish i had time to kill to mow it. i think i would be completely satisfied with a freshly mowed little house-in-town mini lawn. then i'd sit in it. but just for a moment until i'd start packing again.

one final left to go, then pack up my life, register for classes, find a job and i'm hittin the road saturday for mn.

i've been feelin the life decisions tension, too. baby steps. just getting through tomorrow is a very good thing. next week, even better. and after all it is may which means may flowers which means stopping to smell the roses...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Ok...I feel better now.

Early life Crisis

What am a doing? What should I be doing? What will I be doing? These are the questions that have been rolling around my head? Trying to figue out what to do with my life. What to do what to do... The week on my own forced my to do a lot of thinking and it has led me to the conclusion that I have no direction and no idea what I want to be doing next year. Should I apply to international schools, should be a sub around home for awhile -theres always waitressing, a novel, sex change, the options are endless. oh well life is good I'm in fucking prague I shouldn't complain. I feel so much more secure coming home knowing you guys will be there. All my favorites in one place. -wellp not a lot to report on this end a couple lovely hot days -laid around in some parks soakin in the sun -am rereading pride and prejudice for the fifty billionth time finished Skinny legs and all by Tom robbins (hey mar if you see any more tom robbins books laying around on your way over I'd love to read some more but no preasure I'll have little need for books once your here and you can entertain me) any way the book was really excellent if anyone gets a chance! I'm headed to Krakow for the weekend which from all accounts is a fabulous city. I guess Auschwitz is a day trip from there and we're going to head over and check it out.-a little intimadated by that Hey mar would 20 hours on a bus be incredibly awful, still working on getting us cheap tickets to split, my train lady has been less than helpful. I have a lonely planet on Croatia that is offering some good leads this place sounds too good to be true can't wait to swim in the adratic sea with you, ciao for now, em

Community Garden

Em, I was wondering if you ever talked to your community garden people about the option of Janelle taking over the plot. If not do you have their contact information, I will send it to Janelle and she is going to see if it is still open. I hope you have fun In Croatia, my friend Petra is from croatia, she works in the office with me and is a fellow environmental studies gal. I gotta run....LAST DAY OF SCHOOL YAY! but not the last day of finals...still a long way to go, next wed....that is when I will be celebrating! Love you, anna

Weather...

Marit
very sorry to hear about your grandpa. Today in Bemidji it was cloudy and rainy and gloomy all day. This evening though I caught a glimpse of blue sky and all trace of wind has left the lake. The storm has moved on. It's really quite peacefull.

I hope your trip home was comforting.

Katie
Good to talk (if only briefly) yesterday. I can't wait to hear all of your stories in person! I'm sure your mexico tan will put our Minnesota winter skin to shame!

EM! I heard your voice on the answering machine! We missed you again! Call right now... no, now! The frogs say hi and they miss you.

Anna. See you at home. We need limes for gin and tonic...

talk to you all soon!
love, JOE
