Remember those letters home . . . Dear Mom and Dad, I’m taking a break from my English homework, and I thought I’d use this time constructively and write you a short note. I’ve finally adjusted to living in the halls. It’s like a huge family; I’ve gained sixty brothers and 115 sisters. The R.A.’s serve as our pseudo- mamas and papas — They help us through our first taste of respon- sibility. I never knew life was so complex. A group of us spent two hours the other day discussing how to spend our weekends, how often to attend classes, and whether or not to eat in the cafeteria. Since that conversation, I’ve received two C’s and lost five pounds. However, I have finally found a balance between studying and socializing. They’re called “study groups.” We meet once a month for an “all nighter.” No, it’s not what you’re thinking, mom! We just eat a pizza and listen to a little music as we study. Guess what — I met someone! Well, not just anyone — someone special! We’re going to the Avila Spring Formal together. It’ll be fun. Dad, you should be proud of me. I’m participating in intramural sports. Not only that, but I’m following in your footsteps as a bench warmer. I’ve also mastered the technique of shooting pool and playing ping-pong. I’m planning on hitting the tournament circuit to raise tui- tion money for next semester. My next challenge is to master the video games in the snack bar — then I can give lessons to twelve year olds. Some “jerk” pulled the fire alarm at three a.m. the other day. Everyone was really mad! We all decided we need to take a stress management course next semester. But as they say here at Avila — That’s Life in the Halls Top Right — “Hangin’ out with the guys.” Scott Anderson, Jeff Kraus, and John Hunnius.
