hi mom! how're you?
still no interent yet, but they said they'd come fix it this afternoon maybe. the girl who was registered before us never signed her name off of the internet service, so andrea dell has to pretened to be Katherine Bender in order to get anyone to come over. we tell them to switch it and they say to have her come into the office.... they just cant quite get it that she's not in indiana any more! anyway.... i havent looked for my checks yet 'cause i havent had time, are they supposed to send them HERE or are you getting them?? because i have like zero dollars and zero cents which is really frustrating because i SHOULD be okay with money, if i actually had done direct deposit .... grrr.
i gave my presentation yesterday, it went pretty well, my partner was way better at public speaking than i was, and she didnt call because she was home, her grandpa is really sick. anyway and the two of us had an additional assignment to do as a follow up and she did that to make up for me typing the report. for me doing the research myself it went okay, usually i'm not very good at public speaking but i had some friends that were sitting in the back of the class and i just pretended it was only them i was giving my speech to. anyway, today is my first day of work! exciting! i found my hat last night, and one of my nametags but my favorite one is still missing in action, the one with all the stickers on it? maybe its in my car somewhere i dunno. speaking of work i'd better be off, i just wanted to say hi!
miss you!
love
andrea

awwwww peee weee
guess who's internet doesnt work .... meee
apparently our modem is broken and they're
sending someone out on tuesday to give us a
new one or fix this one... stupid.... anyway,
i'll be writing from the good old computer lab
until then :(

Subject: hi mom!
hi mom!
how are you doing? is your cold better? i must have caught something from you on the phone the other day 'cause i think i have a cold too now. ohhh more salsa i'm sooo excited i have like 1/3 of a jar left. how is grandma doing?
ahh one thing i do miss here at school is croquet, although i bet we could fit the course on our lawn, none of us has the stuff to do it. we have been doing some outdoor-sy stuff recently, i bought a $10 grill and some lawn chairs for our back cement square/patio thing. its awesome, garrett made us hamburgers and hot dogs one night, yesterday he made shish kabobs, and tonight we're making grilled chicken salad. its weird eating real cooked food for dinner let me tell you! then last night libby came home all stressed out from a lonnnnnnnng day at dance so we took her out to ice cream. annnd i definitely havent been riding my bike so i guess i've just about negated ragbrai! oh well thats what the trainer is for is it not!?! i read michael's honor merit final paper thing and it was pretty good, but his ending is really corny, did you read it? i was like come on just go ask like mom or ms dole and have them help you c! oem up with something better. although i guess maybe they're looking for corny? i dunno. i bet that oculd go well as a college essay too.... maybe some time management???
ohh a shirt would be awesome!! small is fine, if it doesnt fit me, i'll give it to libby, or garrett or andrea dell or someone. it would be kind of nice to have a little trophy to display for my slaving summer ;)
classes are going pretty well, just LOTS of reading .... still bleah. on friday we had 2 pop quizzes, i think i told you about that when we were talking on the phone?? i dont remember who i whined about that to or not any more. i got one back, and i got a 4/5 so i guess thats pretty good, the 2 people sitting in my row got i think a 1 and a 2 out of five respectively so i'm pretty confident in my 4. no word yet on the essay test, but i'm pretty confident. anyway, its lunch time and i'm starrrrrrving so i guess i'd better get to grilling some cheese up good!
write back soon, i miss you!
love, andrea

hi mom!
thanks for the box of presents it was awesome!!! i made libby and andrea and randi run downstairs and look at my presents haha my favorite is in the stack of pictures david in the drumline at west.... i remember back when he was little how much he used to want to be in that. and i'm going to wear my pin around alll day. anyway, i've got to go clean up some, jim from iowa city is coming this afternoon, and i'm going to go pick up garrett since he doesnt have a car, and everyone who said they'd drive him had to work. i dont mind really, because everyone is in class here, and no one wants to spend their birthday alone! anyway, i'll call you later, or maybe call me? 'cause then it doesnt count toward my minutes anyway talk to you soon!
miss you!
love, andrea
