Fellow alum of the Axe and Oar
I send you greetings from the other side of the country! Boston sure isn't anything like Tacoma. I'm currently in the Institute for Rowing Leadership basically getting a crash corse (metaphorically most days, literally some days with my inability to drive a launch) in coaching rowing. Alex Mann went through the program and graduated in 2014 and while I floundered through the real world I kept thinking how nice it would be to be around rowing and rowers all the time... and eventually I just called him up and asked how the program was. Long story short two years later and many traumatic work experiences later, I'm pursuing coaching specifically focusing on the outreach capabilities rowing has. I hope to do a lot of work with low access kids and with populations who may not have access to rowing.
I miss all of you and wish you were all here to experience this side of rowing with me, ALTHOUGH ALYSSA RAMOND AND I HAVE YET TO HANG OUT AND SHE LIVES IN THEROY CLOSE TO ME! We'll figure it out. I don't have a car and have only minority gotten lost on the bus and train systems.
Miss you all.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful time in life

What's ROOH with YOU?!
Ladies of the Oar... I miss all of you so dearly... I stumbled back across this and wondered what each of you has been up to!
If you still have access to create a blog post, do it! Update us all :)
I'm working at Reed College in PDX. My double duty as an RA/Rower, i.e., waking up at 4:15 am on an on-call night when my last round was at midnight just four hours earlier, finally paid off as I am now a Resident Director SUPERVISING those little buggers. :)
Portland has been awesome so far--been here since January with my boyfriend and my dog, so life is good. We routinely spend way too much money on foodcarts and beer (I'm still working on that whole idea of a "budget") but when I'm not worried about funds, I hike, swim in the river, run, and do crossfit and yoga. My best friend from middle school lives 15 minutes away so I see her a bit...
Which reminds me... ANNIKA! You live close! We need to hang out.
Anywho... Jovia, you're in Boston? Mariah, are you living the LA dream? Ashley, are you livid at anything? Hannah, have you eradicated childhood literacy problems? ;)
Missing you all,
Lindsay
