to: my friends
from: phil (i put this at the top because a couple days ago i read a post thinking that the writer was probably mandy and then when i got to the bottom it turned out it was bryan. sometimes context clues just arent strong enough for me...)
well ive been wanting to post for a while now, not because i have lots of sweet things to say, but mostly because its just been too long and ive been thinking about you all. i would have posted earlier, in fact, but i constantly forget my username and password. its just how i do. so i just recreated my account. again.
there is one bit of personal news i can share: i just found out that i got an internship in DC for the summer at the state department. it will be in african affairs, but i dont know yet what ill be doing specifically. if any of you are going to be in the DC area this summer or have contacts there, im looking for places to live...
oh, heres something truly sweet: (julianna, can i say this?) i might be the last to find this out, but in case im not, let it be known that julianna k smith is going to be student body president at malone in the 2007-2008 school year!
school is going well, busy of course. in my classical literature class (in which i sit in the back next to kirsten and never ever talk and the one time i had something to say the kid sitting kitty-corner from me raised his hand and said the exact same thing no lie so i just put my hand down and tried to walk it off) i am trying to find a topic do a research paper about. i think im going to try to do something with monasticism and demonology in the 4th-5th centuries. the early monks are pretty interesting people, and they saw some pretty interesting things. by the way, i know several of you have been exploring eastern orthodoxy, id love to hear about what you are learning and experiencing. and dont you wish that we could go back and re-do our time at st. katherines especially? i feel like i would take so much more from that experience if i could do it over again.
ok, done for now. i hope you are all doing well.

Phil! I'm writing this from your home state, chilling next to Mandy in the Spring Arbor University computer lab. Congratulations!! I'm so excited to hear that you got that internship. That's going to be a sweet, sweet opportunity--and hopefully, you can later give me hook ups for a job in the state dept. once you're Sec. of State.
Mandy and I will be able to congratulate you properly in person tomorrow--but in the meantime, mabrook!
Alissa
i wish i could go back and redo my time at st. catherine's.
