Mélanges: You've got mail!

I've got mail! Upon opening my mailbox for the first time in a week or so, letters came tumbling out at me. This was extraordinary in two ways:
1) I remembered my mailbox combination.
2) I got mail!

Dear A,
Thank you for the letter. Thank you for the picture (Damn, I am sexy!). Thank you for the CD. Thank you even for the bumper sticker. I'm not sure what I want to do with it... actually, I'm not even sure what it means. I remember getting really excited while we were Skyping, when you told me you were going to mail everything to me. I checked mail (almost) religiously, but it never came. Honestly, I kind of gave up and forgot about it, and the minute I did, it showed up in my mailbox. You have this uncanny ability to remind me of how much I miss you when I least expect it. This morning, my friend came into my room and scoffed at the CD (it was sitting on my laptop). I got pretty defensive about it...everyone loves Mandy Moore! Anyways, as I should be trying to be productive, I think I'll just Skype you later.

Dear S,
I love getting your cards - every single one of them. This particular card was squished at the bottom of the stack. I was rather angry with the mail staff for just shoving it under the other mail. They should know better than to wrinkle my mail. Anyways, I may need more room on my wall to tape this one up. A few things: 1) the hug is adorable, 2) my conversations with J...HAHA, and 3) I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I think I need to call you now.

Dear Mommy,
I hate getting mail from you. When I see a letter from you, I'm afraid to open it because I know I'll cry reading it. I've never been away from home for this long, and I'm so tired of being homesick. I know it has to get worse before it gets better, so I just have to stick it out. I also hate that you're in Taiwan because it means two things: 1) you're on vacation while I'm in school, and 2) you can't call me. No one else calls me every night without fail. I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving.

So, I'm trying to mail out some letters this week. Hopefully I'll actually sit down and write them, and everyone will get them before Thanksgiving break. Sorry in advance for the ghetto binder paper. It's all I have until I go home and get my stationary...
