Answering in reverse order again…

Hey Delia,

    Yeah, sometimes I think about the future, but

usually it doesn’t get me so down as much as I see

something to look forward to.  Of course, if I try and

I fail at something that may alter my vision of the

future, but on the other hand I’ll know that I did the

best I could and that at least I tried.  Then there

are backup plans, like in choosing a career for after

school’s done.

    I’m sorry you’re feeling bad and I wish I could

make you feel better.  All I can say is that I wish

you well and sometimes bad things happen even to nice

people.  Sometimes thinking that helps me through

tough times.

    I’m doing ok, although I’ve got to finish my

script for screenwriting by the end of the week and my

other instructor gave us some surprise weekend reading

as well as assigniments that I didn’t realize I had

until I checked my email just recently.  My third

class I’m almost finished with, though, as I only have

2 assignments left for it, unless the TA doesn’t like

an assignment and I have to do one over, but I think

that that isn’t likely.

    Fortunately I’m not sick right now, although some

of my friends seem to have picked up coughs and colds

somewhere, which sucks for them and I hope doesn’t

happen to me, too.

    Sunday was nice, though.  I met some new people at

a friend’s birthday party.  We played a game called

“telephone,” where you whisper a phrase to the person

next to you and when it gets around the room the last

person says what they think the phrase was.  I started

one which was “The cheese is old and moldy.  Where is

your restroom?” which is a quote from the movie,

Encino Man, and it ended up much shorter and had

something to do with Jesus smelling well.  I couldn’t

keep myself from laughing.  Oh well, maybe I have a

weird sense of humor.

    Sorry to not write back sooner (again) and I’ll

try to get to your other emails ASAP.

Warmly,

Alan

Hi Delia,

    I’m getting excited, too.  Time goes by really

fast, huh?

    My family’s nice.  I try to call my parents once a

week and they’re pretty supportive of most things I

do.  They live in Northern California.  I’ve got a

younger brother, John, who lives about an hour and a

half away from them and we talk every once in awhile,

but he’s often busy, sleepy, or just doesn’t always

answer the phone.  But we get along.  He’s very into

Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Beck, and that sort of

music.  One of these days he may get his own band

together, but he’s so busy with work, his girlfriend

and her son that he probably has no time for it, as

well as not having a soundproof place to practice.  He

seems at least semi-content, though.

    What’s your opinion of Michael Jackson?

    Breath mint or candy mint?

    Do you believe in magic, esp, and other

supernatural things?

Sincerely,

Alan
