meisa's lagoon

every once in awhile when someone random from my past pops into my head, i google them to see what they've been up to. i'm on a quest to find someone else i've known who has a blog, but have found no one. but still, google sometimes gives a few hits that clue me into what my past acquaintances have been doing.
the other day, i was avoiding work, and thought up a character from middle school and marine biology camp (go ahead, laugh, we all already know i'm a dork) - nikolai braun. pretty much after 8th grade, i didn't know anything about his whereabouts. so i googled him and came up with a hit on some summer program at UC Santa Cruz. and sure enough, there was his picture right at the top. as i continued scrolling down the page, my eyes nearly popped out of my head when i saw andrea's picture there as well. who would have guessed that a boy i knew in middle school would have done a summer chemistry program with the girl who would become my roommate in grad school? man, it really is a small world after all.
