Dear Beth (I told you I'd address the next one to you!),

You'd be so proud of me, Beth. Ever since you left for San Diego I've been spending less time on the internet and more time studyin :) Which actually isn't much at all, but hey it's a step in the right direction!
I took this picture this afternoon while sitting on my balcony studying for my phonetics final. The scenery helps me focus a little bit. I read a little, then sit and stare a little, then I read a little more. I sure am gonna miss this place. Hard to believe that in less than 2 months this will all feel like it was a dream. It sucks to be so nostalgic when I haven't even left yet.
Other than finals, all is well. I'm procrastinating as usual, but I think it's time to do a little more siting and staring... I mean, studying. :)
