letters with calvin
Nov 10th, 2004 by charlotte
hey there,
alive and kicking yes. how are you doing? started school by now i assume. i got a nice long email from your dad, and then a random one from lana so i have my information on your family type doings, but a lack of info on you. im sorry i havent written in so long, but things are coming to the crunch a bit now that ive got less than two weeks left in europe. were in berlin now, and although the internet at this hostel is free, there just isnt a lot of time for sitting down and writing.things for me are ok. i suppose. nat and i have sort of called a truce and although the screaming has been less lately, and weve actually been ok for awhile, but im just not sure about things anymore and im sure that by now youre sick of my whining.
but, how are you? whats happening in the life of charlotte? i enjoy hearing from you, even if i cannot find a lot of time to say hello. ill be back in the states in a few weeks and will probably have time to write you a more comprehensive letter.
i hope youre doing well kiddo.

i got this terrible cold which comes with a lot of nose blowing and headaches. i HATE being sick. but right, who likes being sick.
anyway, that’s how i’m doing right this minute. yeah school started, and i like my classes ok. my theory and statistics classes are both taught by old foreign men who talk like they just learned english yesterday. but that’s ok, i can understand them even if the rest of my class can’t … poor bastards.
and for God’s sake i’m not tired of listening to you whining. relationships are a lot of work. but you also have to know when working isn’t going to, uh, work anymore. then you gotta just let go.
but i can’t tell you what to do or how to handle it. all i know is something like it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. and that if you love something let it go, if it comes back to you blah blah blah. yeah like you should be taking love advice from me. as if.
anyway, i’m very tired and very hungry and very angry with my stupid “co-worker” curtis who bumbled in today fifteen minutes late and says “i’m leaving at 4:30 so you gotta stay til five.” and i’m like, “no way deuchebag i’ve been here since eleven so that i could go home and get some homework in before i absolutely pass out.” … and he’s like … “well i’m leaving at 4:30 sorry.”
i’m seriously contemplating getting a greasy sandwhich from the cafe down the block and dumping it on the schluppy bastards head. and then coughing on him.
i’m just the picture of pleasantness today aren’t i?
ok, well hope your having fun in that brothel … i mean hostel. talk to you later when i get a chance or maybe just the next time you send me an email.
kidding.
