How are you doing? It’s close to Halloween now. Are you dressing up? I’m not sure I’ll get to. There was smoke in the air yesterday. I thought it was foggy and cloudy, but it was largely smoke. But it’s cloudy today, and raining. I’m glad of it. Is it similar down there? I hope whatever fire caused the smoke here is not causing smoke there. There weren’t so many fires pre-trauma. I don’t remember any from when we were children. But I don’t remember anything, so perhaps I’m wrong.
Not much has happened this week. The only particularly new thing is that we went to see my friend Emily in a play last night, which was quite enjoyable. I do like going out at night. I saw a raccoon wandering by the ferry terminal, avoiding encounters with the people there. You’re a sophomore now, are you not? I wonder if your high school holds plays, that would be fun.
Since summer camp isn’t assigning me to work as much, I might need to get another job to afford college. That sentence sounds very adult, doesn’t it? And very American. I’ll probably go to the grocery store or somewhere like it. I’d like to work at one of the bookstores since you probably don’t do much and get to read. Have you worked at all? No matter the case, it won’t do much for tuition if you go to college here. As if a highschooler could make about 80,000 dollars when school exists, lol. I’m planning on going to college in Europe, where it will be less expensive. Have you any idea of what you’ll want to study? I personally want to study archaeology and ancient history/art history.
I’m glad it feels like October now. I wish I had more to talk about. I love you dearly.
With love,
Alice
