I got this email from another crane that I left at my alma mater. Allison "Albi" left a comment on the entry for 172. Dear.

"I found this one :) It is sitting on my desk in my dorm room. When I get a spare moment to breathe in the next few weeks, Dear will be flying free elsewhere.
Just a note: When I was in 5th grade, I read Sadako and the 1000 paper cranes, and folding my own collection. I named every single one and they all had a story and I still have them back at home. Your mission is inspiring, keep up the fantastic work!" - Allison
I'm impressed that you named them all! I'm not sure I could come up with that many names. Hopefully you have a great spring semester!

A Muhlenberg Crane Finder
I got this comment a couple days ago on the entry for 169. Sprightly:
February 2, 2011 at 11:31pm
"I am currently in possession of Sprightly (which, I must say, is the perfect word to describe myself). I was actually on my way home from Muhlenberg, after spending a weekend with my friends before I go abroad for the semester--Sprightly will join me overseas and I hope she'll make many friends abroad!" -Anonymous
Another crane seems to be found by a perfect person! Hopefully you, the finder, and Sprightly have a wonderful time abroad! I must say that studying abroad was one of the best decisions I ever made in college. It's definitely an unforgettable experience that everyone should have if they are afforded the opportunity.
Things may be a bit quiet over here for the next couple of weeks. We are in the process of moving, so while I'm still trying to get out and about to release, I'm trying to make sure all our stuff is packed and goes where it needs to go. After that though, there will be a whole new local area to place cranes in. Only a bit farther north than where I am now, but definitely a new batch of places to release cranes! So stay tuned!

Stellar was one of my favorite songs by Incubus when I was a bit younger. I definitely thought of the song when I was placing this crane.

For as big a library fan I am, I only spent a couple of months working in the library in college. I didn't realize my desire to work there until my last semester there. I had a position restocking periodicals, so this was my area. I'd change the magazine and newspapers up a couple times a week. And I also put back those ridiculously large journal tomes. Certainly helped to increase my ability to alphabetize, that's for sure!

Date Placed: 1/30/11 11:17am
As a creative writing minor, this was one of the buildings I had class in. It wasn't too far fetched to hear singing, see dancers, and a number of people snapping pictures when sitting in the lobby. All the different people around just added to the sense of belonging. Of course, there wasn't anyone in sight on a Sunday morning, but at that time of day in college, I would still be sleeping too.

My friends joke around with me a lot because I often call people "my dear" (or "darling"). So this was a lovely crane for me to place, with all my dears in mind.

I saw a lot of this little area during my time in college. It was the home my my major area. Lots of projects and group work were done at the computers. My adviser and other professors in my major were all situated around that little area. Sadly, on a Sunday, none were found lingering around. (Good for them!) So I just had to make due with a little trip down memory lane.

I'll refrain from making a no relational to another famous Bieber comment and say that this was a trusty bus station back when I was in school. I didn't use it often, but I dropped a few friends off their to take trips to elsewhere. I was pleased to see it was still in service. Hopefully the person that found it was either going to or coming from a lovely trip somewhere else.

Sometimes it's wonderful just to be reminded of all the great people in life. While it might be a bit awkward for me to say I'm smitten with my friends, they are a great group of people and I really look forward to seeing them again.
Going back also reminded me of all the good time I had during college. It's funny how time manages to smooth over some of those less than wonderful bits and allows you to remember all the good parts. Do you find that to be the case too when it comes to some things in the past?

Certainly an appropriate crane for the occasion. I was on my way back to my alma mater, Muhlenberg College, to meet up with some of my college friends. Having not seen or talked to most of them in nearly 2 years, it was certainly well overdue. Just a short weekend trip filled with a lot of catching up, reminiscing and fond memories. Just as a reunion ought to be.
