(This is a picture from June 29th, "R-Day" - my very first day here!!)

Hey girls! it's been so long since i've talked to so many of you, and i feel terrible about it. being up here in new york i feel so far away from you guys and it's really hard. there are hardly any girls for me to talk to and hang out with and it makes being so far from you girls that much harder. things here are pretty good and i do love it here, but lately i've been in this downward spiral that i can't seem to get out of... all i can tell myself to make it better is that one day from now i'll be leaving here to come home to you guys :) since i know all of you have plans and you're all doing awesome stuff the rest of your week off, i totally understand if there's no way i can see all of you. but any of you that are around, let me know! i'll be home from thursday to saturday afternoon and would LOVE to see you girls!! if not this week, only "22 and a butt days" til christmas break (that's how i have to say it here :)...)

Love you guys!
