It's a small world after all....

I've never been SO aware of how small this world actually is till I came to NZ. 
Three crazy stories that should convince you::

I just met a guy named Andy. (not my roommate). He is from around Boston. I casually mentioned that my best friend Kevin is also from the Boston area. He asked where and I said Westborough. He did a small doubletake and asked what high school he attended. Westborough High School... this kid Andy and Kevin went to the SAME high school!! And the more I mentioned him, the more he seemed to think the name sounded familiar. He played sports and tenor sax, and Kevin sang and did theater so its unlikely that their paths would really cross all that much. But still, the fact that I met someone from my best friend's high school... crazy sauce. 

I met a girl named Julie. She mentioned she was in an a cappella group in Virginia and I excitedly told her I did it too. I asked her what school she went to. James Madison University in Virginia. The JMU Overtones are friends of the GW Troubadours. She happens to be a part of a different group, and knows ALL the Overtones. I mentioned a few by name and she knew them all well. 

Finally, on my trip, in my program, is this girl named Cassie. Cassie is from Littleton, CO. My hometown. Not only is she from my hometown, she lives across Bowles Avenue from me in Bow Mar. Any Coloradans should understand how close this is to my house. She is literally across the street from me!!! We've lived most of our lives across the street from one another. She went to Littleton and knows half of my middle school friends. BUT it doesn't stop there, Cassie was AT my senior prom. I was there with my date, and she was there as someone else's date. For all we know, we could have been dancing next to one another!!! CRAZY!!!

This world is tiny, tiny, tiny!!!
