Dear Mama....

Dear Mama, I am proud to say I have finished my freshman year at College. Life surely was different not living with you and Tom.

Here is the campus map to show you were I live and how far away my brothers are from me. I'm sorry you were sick and were unable to visit me at my dorm. Why again couldn't I move to a larger dorm?


This is me on my first day at the dorm. This seems like such a long time again when it was only two semesters.


I invited your friend Nolan over. He was more than happy to show me around campus and introduce me to everyone. I guess you forgot how I met him one afternoon when I was younger.


My brothers live in off-campus housing. Why did I have to move to the dorm? Why couldn't I stay with them? Peter, of course, is always talking about classes.


Phil already found a girlfriend, her name is Tricia. I don't know how serious he is about her since he told me he wants to leave a legacy of some sort here with lovers or something like that.


Was this one of your Professors? His name is Professor Adrian. He thinks everything I tell him is funny or something.

Would you believe he actually played catch with me until after dark one night?

I did manage to get into your old Greek house when I met Mitch and Max. They said I remind them of you. How well did you know them?


Oh - I have a STALKER! Xavier, your downtown friend, stalks me on a dialy basis. I think I need to tell the boys so they will take care of him.


Here I am one night playing chess with a dorm mate. He thinks I was right to protest the 'Rights of a Heiress' also.


Just like you told me, I am finishing up my last skill of body points. When will I be rewarded for all this work and no play???


I have found the best place to hang out is in my bedroom. Nolan has become on of my closest friends around campus. He even said he will take care of stalker Xavier if I want him to.


I've been saving all my money to build this nice little greenhouse on the side of my dorm. My dorm mates don't seem interested in it though.


The money trees were a great gift. Thank you. I would not have finished the greenhouse in time if it wasn't for them.


Here I am on my way to my final exam to finish out my freshman year! When will I get that letter you promised about the 'deal' you made? I still am unsure why you didn't want to tell me yet.


Oh by the way, I got my FIRST KISS!!! One afternoon in the kitchen, Nolan just grabbed me and made out with me. WOW! So this is what I was missing!! I think he could be the one mama! I think he could be the ONE!!!

Kisses to you and Tom....Penny
