What fun! It's so great to see pictures of the old gang...it's been over 12 years since I left HK, can you believe it? Anyways, I love that you are keeping everyone in touch, so here are some recent pictures for you to include. Other than maintaining the blog, what are you up to these days??? I'd love an update.

I just started law school in Seattle last week and it's been quite intense & overwhelming. But, I've met lots of new people and am enjoying so far. Other than that, I had an amazing summer--lots of traveling, including Israel & Belgium. I'm not ready for the vacation to be over...

Alright, back to the books. I look forward to hearing more from you!

Love,
Miriam

Hey Miriam,
I figure that something like the FIS blog, once it's set up- is always there. Anytime we like (or need), there'll be a place for us to go and see what our dear old schoolfriends are doing. Those people who we knew when we were in our purest form; before we grew up and changed into the clothes that we would wear for the adult world.
This is a class and a family that will always have a strong hold in our hearts, and these are the memories that we will visit in our darkest hours... or while delighting in watching our own children play with their friends. One day :)
No matter how we turn out, there's always someone (and in this case, a whole load of someones) whom you can turn to for friendship and counsel in this big mixed up mash of society.
I think that now is the best time to start keeping a log.
While we are still exiting the youthful years of confusion and are emerging as young, sure adults. The pages are fresh and the experiences are new; big jobs, new countries- the rest of our lives laid breathtakingly at our feet. We can be whatever we want to be, but we must take those first big steps on our own, out into the big wide world.
And it's nice to know that there's a family of friends who are going through exactly the same thing, and are there if you ever need them.
Time will tell, and we will see how the blog turns out. We really need everyone's effort. Perhaps I'll write a plea. Perhaps I'll post this on the blog. Perhaps I'll just give up, and let us wonder what everyone's been up to in five years from now, with no links between us?
NEVERRRR!!! I WILL PERSEVERE!!!!!
Lots of love, thanks for listening to my ramblings. :) :)
I swear I'll be one of those writers who, at eighty years old, is a veritable hermit living in a shopping trolley in the middle of a busy intersection yelling at everyone who drives past that the world has stopped turning and they're too darn busy to even notice.
My mom doesn't think it that far fetched!
God I'm long winded!
More soon, :)
