> hi mom!
> how is everything back at home? i talked to michael yesterday and he laid
out his intricate plan of going to the vine for lunch. how is david doing
in school? i really didnt like junior high, i hope he's having a better
time of it than i did. any luck selling your bike? or finding one you want
instead? i remember it always takes me forever, but i'm so picky. i got to
ride again yesterday, there was a huge headwind, but i saw this old fat
beagle that had found a hole and was barking into it BOWRRR like peanut, it
was so funny. and i saw THREE turtles, haha. well, everyone here is going
nuts waiting for the game to start, the mayor declared it 'butler bulldog
day' so the whole city is excited even! well, time for calc, i'msure i'll
talk to you again later! miss you and all

Subject: hi mom!


how are you?
i'm blasting through this week of work work work....not even halfway done
yet! today, our computer science lab was due, and yesterday, from four in
the afternoon until 1030 i worked in the computer lab in the basement of
jordan hall to finish the comptuer work. then, an hour later, i went back
to the dorm, and worked on writing up the lab until four thirty in the
morning. i only got two hours of sleep, so today has been a little tough.
its not even like we put this off, we worked for two hours thursday, friday,
and sunday as well as yesterday. it was just a hard lab, all the groups
worked just as hard. anyway, so we get to class today, and not only did we
have a test no one studied for, but we also started a brand new topic, and
he gave us the next lab to start working on. THEN he told us that he was
going to be gone for the next week and that we could turn in our labs any
time during that period. OH MAN what a class.... i just went back to the
room and went to sleep, i could........
love
andrea

skate straight!

> yeah, i'm still alive, but i've been sooo busy this week has gone by
super-fast. i'm now an official frat girl, we went through the last phase
this evening. i lost my camera, so i didnt get a picture, but we're going
to dress up tomorrow in the same stuff so i'll get one then. we're going to
kentucky to watch another fraternity do third degree (what we just did
tonight) so that should be fun. andrea and i went to see libby in the
nutcracker, and she was really awesome. she just kind of has this flair
about her dancing that is different than the others....but maybe i'm biased
;) sorry this email is so short, but i havent seen libby all day and she
just got home, and gotta fill her in on the scoop too, and hear about the
nutcracker, i'll write tomorrow when we get back from KY.

i liked your picture very much. where did you get it from?
if you send a bike tire, will you also send some envelopes (i have stamps...)

the dorm room. thats about all, all i've been doing lately is homework, and etc.

> hi mom, i just remembered some stuff i forgot to say in my last letter.
our band gets to play on the speedway! on the 29th, we're going to play
before the US Grand Prix. oooh swanky! maybe we'll be on tv! we march
out, play in the stands or something, and then get some really good seats to
watch the race. only in indianapolis. well, the brown has almost entirely
faded out of my hair, and i'm left with blond highlights with a tint of
green. ah, i have been eating gum a lot lately, and my mouth has hurt all
morning...... :( so i'll be doing less of that, and taking some advil.
there is a lot of sickness passing around campus, so i've been washing my
hands tons. yesterday there was a girl (emily) who thought she had a fever
but couldnt read her thermometer because it wasnt digital, and i had to help
her read it. (she didnt have a fever) it helps to be the daughter of a
nurse sometimes. nothing else to say, i dont think, except to make sure you
got my picture, some people i sent it to didnt get it....
> anyway, time for lunch then class. have a great wednesday!

> how're you? i'm just taking a break from homework. i had some questions,
acutally, again.... first of all, when were you and dad married? also, i
need the birthdays of all the aunts and uncles and grandparents(we're making
genograms) when were the grandparents married? sorry to give you all of
this, i just have no idea and need it for class. the free weekends i have
include oct 5-6 and thurs. oct. 10-fri 11 (then parents weekend) and nov 16
on. i was thinking of the first set, but considering doing both that and
the second. (i have a lot of visiting to do!) what do you think?
everything is good here, although libby is a little under the weather, i
think she's going to be good tomorrow, with a little sleep. my newt is
hanging in there still, although darned if i know why, it has only eaten
once since i brought it home....i got a new checking account today at bank
one, will you close my one at us bank please? the lady was really nice, she
gave me my atm card today instead of sending it in the mail, because she
used to (and her parents do) live in north liberty. crazy! she also gave
me an application to work at hte bank if i wanted, i'm nto sure i want to
do it, but if you work there enough hours int he week and get a good gpa,
they help pay for college some. that would be nice! alright, i have to go,
i am tired and i have a lot of work to do and i need to get off of the
computer. miss you and all!

> hi, its me! how're you doing? i just talked to you online a little bit
ago, but i thought i'd write anyway....i feel tons better now that marching
band's over, get a little rest! libby and i went out in indianapolis a
little bit this evening, and we bought ourselves pets. (i'm going to pay
libby back once i get my account figured out) she got african water frogs
and i got fire belly newts. hers are just what they sound like, little gray
blue frogs that live in a little aquarium. mine are slimy black lizard
things with bright red-orange stomachs that live in water or land, and i got
a 10 gallon aquarium for them. i have a very important question. the lady
at the pet store said i didnt need a lid, but she forgot that i got a plant
too, and i'm afraid they're going to climb out. right now i've got a piece
of cardboard over the top, but i was wondering if we still had a light
somewhere that i could have? they need some sort of UV light during the day
and that would be tons better than going to buy one. also, i got a little
filter (this may be a good question for dad) and it bubbles a lot, and i was
wondering what i could do to stop that. its completely under
water....anyway, i have to go feed them 'bloodworms' which i hope arent, but
probably are as gross as they sound.

Subject: from your long lost daughter
Sensitivity: Confidential



hi mom!
how are you, and all? how is full time working for you? full time school
is proving to be very stressful. yesterday i did five hours of homework and
never even started my calculus. i was completely overwhelmed, but i think i
just need to figure out how to manage my time still....i'm used to having so
much free time. so, in other words, i dont know when i'll have time to go
to the bank, or get a job. job maybe this weekend, but i'm so busy during
bank hours! we'll have to see.... another problem i think is that i
totally missed last weekend. i'm hoping this one will be more relaxing.
libby's been doing pretty well, i think, she has a fairly full schedule, but
she has her schedule so it kind of goes 'academic class day' then 'dance
class day' so she has a little time to work on things....she says she wishes
she took some harder classes and i'm thinking the opposite. these last
couple of days have been kind of hard for her though, because her family dog
died, and she was pretty upset. i try to help her, but i'm not sure how
much i can do....on a totally different topic, i finally remembered to go to
the loan meeting, and all i had to do was sign some papers. will you ask
dad which/if there is a program i should download to play dvds on my
computer? that would be really nice to have, seeing as i have some now.
alright, i should go, i need to work on some spanish before marching band.
miss you all
