general predictions for 2008

1. some of us will be married

   everyone but me is married.

2. nobody will have a kid over 4 years old

   everyone but kevin and i have children, none is over four years old.

3. we'll be spread across the world

   neither cathy nor i live in toronto. although i don't know that the us and germany really count as spread across the world.

4. quarter to half of us will not be in the field we started in -> neil however will still be a comp

   less than a quarter i would say

5. some of us may still be doing degrees

   no one is doing a degree. although some of us have unfinished degrees (see: kevin and kristin)

6. somebody will be a professor (probably cathy or kevin)

   dave is the professor.

7. we'll still be clueless as to what to do next in our lives

   somewhat true for me anyway, can't speak for anyone else.

8. some tragedy, divorce

   luckily, as far as i know, although there have been some rough times, this hasn't happened.

9. someone will be living with their parents

   has also not come true.

neil, cathy and i wrote these roughly 10 days after convocation. we also made vague predictions for each person. sadly lost is a similar survey we did amongst ourselves the summer before with fun questions such as "who would be most likely to forget their children at a gas station?"
