Judy and Pat got me a card and a little bear with the UMD logo on the shirt… so cute! I didn’t cry, though. I always get all dumb and sappy with stuff like that. I know I’ll be around and stuff, so it’s not like I’m leaving the country forever or anything. yeah. The bear is black with a little blue and yellow shirt (gosh our school colors are ugly). “You can put it in your office someday…” sweet. Judy said she’ll be happy to write a rec. letter for Simmons, word. (and I say “word” not “werd” no matter what EvillMonkey has to say). That’s all for now. Oh, by the by, Mr. Monkey, sir, if you’re reading this, we have more in common than you may realize. Just read bits of your journal today. I, unlike you, are not usually quiet, but there are things (quite similar to your own ramblings) that I think about often, and write about incessantly. cheers.
