I just want to make the comment that I get a lot of flack whenever I start talking about 360 and what a great time we had. People say, "What the heck is 360 and why are you so excited about it?" I calmly and cooly respond that it was the single-handed coolest collection of girls ever assembled at UVA...well, let's be honest, for most years :).
Year I graduated: 2001
Years at 360: 1998-2001
Places I've lived: VA Beach, Northern Virginia (I really had NOVA in here, but it looked so stupid)
Jobs I've had since then: Ann Taylor Loft, VA Beach Substitute teacher and SOL tutor, marketing coordinator, managment consultant, and now....Realtor! (can you say I've had some issues figuring out what to do with my life?)
Great 360 memories: Meghan Peer's birthday and Veronica as white trash Megan...Hi-larious! Andrea cooking chicken in the microwave with the plastic wrap still on, 360 date functions.
So, as said above, I live in Northern Virginia with my parents. Who's the almost 27-year-old not afraid to admit that? Oh wait, that's me. But really, I'm actually moving out this November into my very first home in South Riding, VA. After all of those years of enduring Megan, Matt and Andrew sing freaking Loudoun County's praises, I finally will become one of them... a loudounite! Being a Realtor I figured it gives me more credibility with clients if I say I actually own something rather than saying that I mooch off my parents. What do you think? Yeah, that's what I thought. I've been super busy this year (okay total sidetrack here, but as I was typing that last line, I accidently had typed "busty" instead of busy. Most of you will appreciate that that is the last thing I will ever be :) ). On that note, I will end my first blog. This is going to be great!

Love it
Megan,
I love it--what a fabulous idea. I have really missed everyone (so much so that 360 is a recurring setting when I dream) and would love to get more updates too. I am also responsible for a few miles between us as the fam and I have settled in the Deep South of Mississippi. To continue with Megan's stats:
year graduated from uva: 2000
years lived at 360: 1998-2000
where i've lived since 360: charlotte, nc, jackson, ms and kosciusko, ms
employment since graduation: public school teacher, christian school teacher, and full time mama (well, I get paid in kisses not $, but it is definitely working)
course i wish i'd taken at uva: raising boys 101--because I only had sisters and boys are just different!!!
a 360 memory that makes you smile: too many to pick just one....Martha "swimming" on the floor, the murder mystery cruise date night, "Christmas" at 360, and the lovely cleanliness of the bathrooms :)
Can't wait to hear from everyone!

360 gals reunite!
hello friends!
congratulations on finding the official 360 blogspot! life's busy and there are too many miles between us. unfortunately i'm single handedly responsible for a LOT of those miles... i need to hear what's been going on in your life and see photos!! + maybe even meet 360 girls i have not yet had the opportunity to meet.
i'll get this party started...
year graduated from uva: 2001
years lived at 360: 2000-2001
where i've lived since 360: seattle, wa
employment since graduation: staff rn, pediatric oncology/bone marrow transplant unit at childrens' hospital
course i wish i'd taken at uva: mortgages 101, oh, wait there wasn't one.
a 360 memory that makes you smile: remember when rent was $199/month if you shared a room?
if you'd told me at college graduation i'd end up living in seattle for 5 years i would not have believed you. it began as a spirit-led adventure and has continued as one. it's a very cool city + i love the pacific northwest. i love my job. i work with amazing people and caring for children and families who are in the midst of a battle has taught me much about what is important in life. they are brave and candid. it's frequently emotionally draining and stressful, but God is faithful in refilling what has been poured out. this fall, i'm chasing part of the dream that brought me out here- graduate school at UW, working towards a masters in family and child health. i'll still be working, of course. i bought a condo in january just a couple of miles from work/school. a couple of my coworkers/good friends live in the building, which is very fun. at times it's a teeny bit reminiscent of living in the dorms (the random noise from neighbors, wandering several doors down in your pajamas to share a pizza that's just been delivered...). before i lived here, i lived in various parts of the city with and without roomates. and i must say, while i was skeptical about living with 13 girls at 360 initially, you were the best 12 roomates i've EVER had!
i'll stop here for now... your turn to write!! if you have any digital photos, email me and i'll try to get them on the site. nursewoodruff@gmail.com
