I’d like to get the big part of my defense schooling done that week. I now have nearly 100 hours. I like it – it’s interesting and different and I hope I can work at it this summer.

Just received the card notifying me of your safe arrival, and also giving the address. Even though it was filled out in the U.S., was so glad to receive it, and it does have your handwriting, which seems so good to see again.
