Ryder:
I haven't been avoiding you.  I just haven't been checking my email.  
I'll do it more often from now on, okay?  I have been hanging out
with Hamilton a little.  He's pretty sweet once you get past the
fact that every time you turn around, he's there.  He's pretty in
love with that Jake guy though.  I still find something a little
off about that whole situation, but to each his own.  And, yes,
my roommate is perky.  Currently she's off visiting her boyfriend
in NYC.  Those two are pretty disgusting.  Will Krudski.  I'm glad
you approve of him.  He's definitely the most tolerable of the 
"gang" that I have accidentally become a part of.  I hung out with
him all day at Bella's on Saturday.  Bella's another person I can
deal with.  They're both so much more mellow than some of these
freaks.  Classes have been going well.  I've been trying something
new.  Instead of getting ahead, I've been doing just enough to
keep up.  I don't think I like it very much and I'm about to
go work on an essay that is due next week.  I'm not trying to
get out of touch.  I'd never do that...not with you.

with Love,
Gwen
