Wednesday

Dear Mom and Dad and all other readers, ^{(at home I hope)}

I got some stationary and some envelopes as you can see (with one eye - half way). I've been to two classes-morning. Already had lunch. Have a class in about 50 minutes (math).

I didn't feel much like writing yesterday (I guess I was a little homesick-don't like to admit it-and thinking of home of course made it worse, yeah!)

Days before I played some touch football but yesterday I didn't get into it. Things are getting better all the time though.

Guess what! there was a "panty raid" last night around 12:00. Guys were banging on doors here in the dorm saying, wake up! Having a panty raid. I stayed in bed. Too lazy to get up. Anyway

I had an 8:00 class this morning and I had gotten into bed about 8:00 or 8:30 and I wasn't going to get out right away.

Just got your letter (before I started writting). My roommate just got the mail.

I've been rescheduled in the Reading Improvement course for 4:30 starting this Monday. 

You're letter helps. Its better for me to hear from home than think about it a little too much. 

It's been pretty warm here yesterday and today.

The philosophy course will be tough but it will be worth it if I can make it through--papers every other week, seminar type with special note takers ^{(in the class)} to distribute the notes next class, term paper, critiques on other people's "position" (statement of their ideas on something) papers. 

Better start thinking about my next class. ^{Oh yeah I got my check cashed at the bookstore when I picked up my philosophy book. Registration went all right.}

Love, Mike
