Three Weeks Gone
CARTER
Dear Arizona,
I haven’t heard from you since you landed, so I hope you don’t mind that I’m writing you first. I’m not sure when exactly you’ll get this, and since it’s been a while since I actually wrote one of these by hand, I’ll try to do my best …
Law school will be starting in a month, and you’ll be proud (and slightly shocked, I’m sure) to know that I completed all of the required reading and turned in all of the required reports already. Josh has yet to start reading the first book, but he’s assured me that he’ll get it done somehow …
Since you’re not here, I’ve been treating our usual waitress to Gayle’s instead.
How ironic is it that she’s never eaten there/never really wanted to?
She’s hooked now, though. She’s also told me that the owner is considering renovating the place to make it bigger for the onslaught of tourists. If he does, I’ll send you pictures.
Speaking of pictures, here are a few of the beach and a few of the ones we took at the marina together before you left …
Not sure what else I should say right now, but I miss you (a lot …) and hope you’ll come home for that fall break that your school gives you. I also hope you’ll respond to at least one of my emails … I’ve sent you quite a few …
Write back and tell me how everything is going with you.
Hope you’re okay.
I really do miss you …
Sincerely,
Carter
Dear Carter,
I am okay. Glad to hear you are well.
Thanks for your letter,
Arizona
Dear Arizona,
Did you seriously waste an international stamp and three weeks of shipping time to send me that short ass letter? (Also, do you still not have internet? Can you not answer emails?)
Sincerely,
Carter
Dear Carter,
I apologize for the brevity of my last letter.
It wasn’t intentional, I promise. I appreciate the photos you sent (I hung them up on my wall) and I wasn’t shocked that you finished your required reading in advance at all.
(You got a 180 on the LSAT … I would be more shocked if you didn’t get it done.)
I am actually quite miserable here and I think I might’ve taken that out on you a little bit, so I’m sorry.
The classes here are super intense, from six in the morning until six in the evening, and after that, we’re required to attend workshops that can last anywhere between four and five hours, so I usually just pass out.
I ordered a charger for my phone from , but they sent me the wrong one by mistake. Two times in a row, so I’m hoping the correct one arrives soon.
My roommate is a jerk who barely talks to me, so I’ve decided to ignore her altogether.
I don’t really have much else to say, but I promise to call you and do better with emails …
Thanks for your letter,
Arizona
