Dear John，

Thank you very much for your letter． I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me．We enjoyed having you and your sister here． We hope that you will both be able to come again next ear． Perhaps you'll be'able to stay longer next time you come． A week is not really long enough， is it? If your school has five weeks holiday next year， perhaps you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks．

We have been back at school for three weeks now． It feels like three months ! I expect that you are both working very hard now that you are in Grade Eight． I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade Eight． Tom and Ann won’t be in Grade Eight until 2011．

They went for a picnic yesterday， but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well． They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there． Do you still re’member the island? That's where all five of us spent the last day of our holiday．Tom， Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you． We hope to see you soon．

Yours sincerely，

Michael

It was the second semester of my freshmen year. After several drinks, a group of friends and I went out looking for a patty. The Only problem was that it was a dry campus tier weekend. But we still managed to find an off-campus party that was kicking. I still have no clue how I got there.

When we got there, the party was already in full swing. They had a bar in a separate room in the house and roommate and I walked right over to it as soon as we saw it. And man, did they have cheap drinks So we were like "yeah let's have a few." Of course at that point we weren't thinking about how we were going to get back to our dorm.

After two whiskey sours and two screw drivers, I was gone. I didn't realize that I was drunk until I hit my head on (the hard part of the couch) and felt absolutely no pain. One of my friends was trying to take my money away so I couldn't buy any more to drink. Not that it would have mattered anyway, as I was sneaking sips from other people' s drinks by then.

An hour later, I was completely drunk, and we made a group decision to leave the party. One problem, though, no one knew how to get home, so I drunkenly said" I know how to get home. Thanks for the great party!"

Of course, no one offered to walk us back. I guess they though that 8 girls, including 2 who were completely trashed, would be fine walking alone back to campus. And I guess they believed my drunken rambling, who knows.

Luckily, I have a pretty good sense of direction and we walked the 4 to 6 blocks back to campus. My roommate and I couldn't walk that well so the walk seemed to take forever. Once we got back to campus, however, we met up with this guy who was going to take us to another frat party just off campus (across the street from campus, actually). I was all pumped to go but--first things first---all of us had to pee.

So we stopped in a nearby dorm. One of my friends went in first and ended up overflowing the toilet (the funny thing is that she was stone sober). My drunk roommate and I then decided that we had to really pee and that we would just go back to our dorm.

So the two of us wandered back to our dorm, making a short stop at the emergency

phone to call a friend and tell hex that we were drunk. After that, we managed to get back to our dorm, without any problems.
