It’s almost April now. And it’s the anniversary of my Evil Delta Airlines flight. What terrible memories (nostalgic sigh). How are you doing? Has spring break started yet?
On Saturday I got an English friend to try a grape skittle. She liked it, but said it tasted artificial. This is true compared to regular English candy. I remember trying something orange-flavored soon after coming here last year and thinking to myself “Holy shit, that’s an orange.” She also gave me something called custard pie and it was very sweet.
It’s getting nicer at home. None of the chickens have died of bird flu yet, so Mom’s still letting the cats out, and they’re having fun in the sun. Mom is in desperate need of summer. I am in desperate need of Washington weather. It is different, and bluer.
I watched half of the second Star Wars with the same friend I watched the first with. My opinion is that Anakin is a whiny teenager, and it’s fairly amusing. Padme is too old and too smart for him. The friend and I also had pasta and tiramisu which was so good. We also found a real-life ice cream truck earlier that day and I got a screwball. Just like Mom in 1983.
I’m worried about everything back home. There’s sure a lot going on… I hope you’re doing alright. I’m worried about my next flight. I guess we’ll see what happens. I love you.
With love,
Alice
