22 days

Robert, I am so happy that there are 22 days left and I find it kind of ironic that you were the first one to figure it out. Do you still feel like an outcast in your YA group? Maybe the reason we don't notice such things here is because when you are here, we spend every waking moment together (and sleeping for that matter). I found out who sang that song that I wanted to hear all weekend. I heard it twice last night (on different stations) while I was doing my math assignment. It made me miss you. I think the title is "More Love," but I KNOW it is by Doug Stone. I will have to get it and let you listen to it. I think you would like it. I told Cindy today that I might not work for them on work-study fall quarter. She told me that she might be able to get the department to employ me. She said, "it isn't too often that we find someone good." She wants to keep me and said she would do everything in her power to do so. The only problem is, it isn't all in her power. The new department head will have to approve it and we don't know who it will be. The department usually likes to get work-study people so they can spend their money elsewhere, but Cindy said that everyone so far likes me. She said that they all think I am fast, thorough, efficient and do meticulous work. I usually get a lot of compliments from most of the faculty. This letter should be entitled "misc." It has a lot of tid bits that I have been meaning to tell you. (Like "I love you.") Yesterday and today I got my first taste of programming. I actually enjoy it, at least what I know so far. We have only worked with pascal (yes, I know, no one uses pascal anymore, but I programmed all the same). I successfully completed 2 programs. I will enjoy the other languages as long as I give my brain time enough to understand. That is where my problem lies. I have patience with everyone and everything under the sun except myself. That is why it is so hard to get over Steve, I keep kicking myself because my subconscious brings it up. John always used to tell me, "allow yourself some slack," or "allow yourself to have a bad day." I tend to give myself a hard time about school too and maybe that is why I am not enjoying learning as much as I used to. Back to the original subject. I think I will enjoy programming. I don't know enough about it yet to make an honest decision, but so far I have had a lot of fun. I am going to respond to your last message. I love you very much. The future WMH
