And to make things worse, I was done and I had said a lot, and now I am about to leave and I am pissed at this stupid computer...... Anyways, I was really glad to talk with you last evening. It really helped to think through things with you when I wasn't mad or upset. I hope you feel better also. I was very happy and wanted to hug you very much when you gave me a 5 on physical appearance. I still want to hug you. I wish we could have hugged after that talk, but alas, phone must suffice. I am about to head out the that Dave Mathews concert, and it is really crappy weather, plus you wont be there, so it can't be as much fun as the last time. At least Mike and I are his hugest fans, so that alone should be able to overcome the fog and rain. Its an all weather concert, so they'll play regardless. Another issue is that the concert is 2.5 hours away, near columbus, so the drive home will not be very fun. It sounds like you've really kept yourself busy with friends. I was busy up until yesterday, when i just lazed, started making signs for my hall, and talked with you. Today is a drive day. Thank god mike is driving. I am getting sick of it. I miss you, love you, very very much. I will be sure to bring you back El Charro's. You gotta give me an idea of what you may want, since I have never gotten anything other than the grand pork burrito and the mexican pizza. They have lots of other things, so give me some suggestions and you will get a taste of heaven's food. I wrote a lot more...let me think. I am wanting a puppy too, but I will have to wait, unlike Nicole's friend Eric. Keep your eyes open for my hall theme stuff, but it seems that you are doing just this. I hope you get this email today, when you are at work. I miss you, and I finally got my email to work today. I tried yesterday, when Jean gave me the password, but the lines were all clogged up. My parents are really upset right now about the stock market, which has dropped 600 points over the past week, which is nearly a crash. My dad has lost tons of money, which is all retirement money. Hopefully, the market will recover soon and they'll be happy. My father offered to buy me a new computer for the upcoming year, since we were talking about the iMacs, but I told him that we should wait until I got accepted to Med school to make a choice, since different schools use different systems (Mac, PC), and some med schools give people computers. So we'll see. Becky, I really miss you, and I can't wait to go camping with you. I'll go to AAA on Thursday or Friday to check on places that we can go that that are nice and scenic and fun. I am psyched. Remember not to tire yourself on your other trips, just like you said okay? I want to have fun! I love you. I think Mike just rang the bell, so I better go. I hope this computer doesn't crash, but if you get this, I guess you'll know that I was successful. Sorry for the random, jumpy style. I love you. I love you. I love you. love.ashwin
