I am so ready for this term to be over, but I'm not ready for another round of exams...after this term, I only get two weeks for break...two weeks. I am so broke right now, and I have car insurance due at the end of August, a doctor's appointment, and a dentist appointment not to mention rent, license plate sticker, I think life insurance...books..Home Cut will only go so far. Julie, possibilities of a Colrado trip are slowly fading away. I didn't sleep at all last night and today is going to be a long one. I just got out of class, have to wait around for a SBA Civ Pro tutorial, maybe go home or come back here to the lib, Mock Trial meeting at 5, and then computer westlaw training for research and writing from 6 to 9?? Man, what have I gotten myself into. I have to schedule my classes on Wednesday during class, so that means I'm skipping (as much as I hate to, thanks to the good people in the Cooley registrer's office). Research and writing has been consuming my time, but I think it has been going okay. Just too many cases to skim through. Case visited me this weekend, which was much needed. I'm really missing my friends back at home right now. People here just aren't the same, and I'm not sure I ever really adjusted...if I did, my best pal is now going to a Chicago school. My boy randy is still here to keep me in disc golf competition, and some other good friends, but I've been finding myself surrounded by people that I'm not sure really get me...understand me.. I have always had a tough time opening up and putting my guard down, so a lot of it is my own fault..but I just don't feel comfortable with people I thought I could trust anymore. Maybe I'm just being dumb, but I usually have right-on gut feelings about things. I really miss Casey too. I have been smoking too many cigarettes. The car thing is still unresolved right now (going on week 6). I guess I could threaten legal action, but what purpose would it serve? Increase the probability that this mechanic will just screw things up more? Either way, I'm not too happy right now. I know Casey is most likely with our new doggie Sophie and I can't be there. I know I haven't seen my nieces and nephew in a long time..or my sisters. Just bummed. "A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day [week already, month, term]". No place to go but up, right? It is hard to keep a good man down, right? The glass is half full? Tomorrow is another day? "The sun is always shining...but sometimes you have to look above the clouds to see it."? It could always be worse?

Just a little while longer, sweetheart.

I almost started this post with "Babe, don't worry about money, friends, etc..." but I erased it because I know it's impossible for me to expect you to do that. Financially, we'll be okay. I'll get some money in the savings soon. And yes, I do think that if this car repair goes another week without so much as a weak reassurance that you should threaten legal action. Did the estimate specify an expected repair completion date?

As far as "friends" versus friends, you carry with you only a few true friends because they really are that rare. There are friends that go with you to bars and there are friends that take you out to a bar because they know you need it. There are friends who ask you for favors and there are friends who do favors for you without asking. Case in point, and what I learned so many times the hard way, is not to expect much from people. Even when you begin to trust them. I think it's safe to say that if after a year you're still close friends, had an argument or tough time or two, etc... then be disappointed if they screw you over. I suppose if you keep the bar lower you can never be surprised to the point of devastation, you will only shrug your shoulders and remember the friends that have truly seen you through both sunny and stormy days.

Before you know it, you'll be with Sophieh and Jack. And me. In a house. It's already been a year since you left for law school, and in another short year you'll almost be out of there. Take what you can from everything, either good, bad, or ugly. I know it sucks to be disappointed by people you had hope for. But letting that sit on your shoulders isn't fair to the rest of us that love and adore you, and consider you one of the greatest friends we've ever had.

I love you with all my heart, Thomas. I'm glad my brief stay helped a little. Talk to you tonight! Just think, you have TWO beautiful girls waiting to see you, and one handsome boy named Jake!

xoxo,
Casey.
