Halley: Emmy! Chalene and I are sitting in Chalene’s (old) room and looking at your photos! Muy bueno, but where are the photos of you? I know you’re a party of one, but at the very least can we please see some photographs of your room in the apartment?!
Chalene: Hey i dont even know what to call you anymore, well, i wanted to tell you about Capri in Italy. That was in the first post before I accidentally deleted it. You should go there but be careful, the roads up to the top castles are very narrow. My parents left today and I was feeling quite sad, but I’m ok now! We are drinking a Japanese drink called Calpico in Forest 224-room of Oyster and my old room. The freshmen are here–where are you? Victor Larsen is living 2 doors away from oys–he asked abt you, and i told him u were in italy and he was very shocked. You are doing a very good job with the photos! Keep it up! But please, put your face in some of them. The Midd sch in Italy looks so ancient with the doorbells-I am excited for you. You can go back into time now…and now I will start reading your blog because I have been a very bad friend-but now I know your URL(thanks to HAO).
Whoa, man. The photos of the apartment are coming soon, I promise.
Chalene: Thank you for the advice on Capri. lol. I now know I should not drive up to the castles. I shall take a hot air balloon. Don’t forget to be nice to the freshman!
Ha ha ha ha. Ok. We’re crazy. Sorry. There was something the other day that made me laugh a lot and think of you… but I forgot it.
Way to disappoint. PS: I send postcard soon.
