This is a picture of my housemates and me at orientation. We are all dressed up with nowhere to go b/c they asked us to get ready for this picture. It gets sent to people who will donate and they like to see happy people with smiling faces wearing fabulous clothing. Nonetheless, lets's run through it. Mathew is on the top right. He's a little bit California wrapped up in Britain. Meaning, he is a Cali-kid, but spent some of his best years in England; Kent, I think. He's got a wonderful sense of humor and plays guitar like I wish I could. He also seems to need lots of naps after a long day of dealing with pre-teen girls. To his right is Cassie. She's Eastcoast to the core. Grew up outside DC and spent most of her life in the area and the rest of Maryland. She most definitely can kick my butt, but usually just lets me sleep on her on our coach. She also has never won intermural co-ed basketball. The comes me. I work with immigration law stuff and am wearing some else's shirt. I am hugging Kyle, my roommate. Dallas by birth. Creighton by grace of God. He is really into social justice and has been since college. He has lots of heros like Che and some guy from the t.v. show M.A.S.H., and he has read most every book ever written. He's got the list to prove it. Below us is Dorota. She's a Polish lass brought up Midwest style. She too has been active since before college with things like building houses for people in E. Tenn and such, forcing the Vagina Monologues on the Jesuits, and all around good-deedery. She is also pretty easy going and bad at keeping in touch with. Don't worry, it's because she hates you. To her right (our left) is Ashley D-D-Davis. Though she has no relation to Mr. Davis (unless you mean her father in MI), she is still pretty awesome. She is also very easygoing and doesn't seem to stop smiling. She works with kiddies all day, though they are usually the troublemakers so she beats them with rulers. She has also thown me forcefully on the couch calling out, "Ho down." I am shamed. Finally, Jeff. Jeff is the artistic type in the sense that he paints very well and really sees deep things in art. Not in the sense that he wears barrets and listens to beat-nik jazz all day. No, he's a pretty sporty guy, touting the KC Chefs as the most delicious team in the NFL (oogaly-moogaly). He's helping people at a clinic.

So that's our crew. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next episode of Jorge's world.
