Parties and stuff

Mother's email to a friend:
So far Alexandra spent her weekends mostly with us, all her friends are away in college, and when they do come home, they have to study. But she parties during the week and just wants to sleep on the weekends, really. Heather
 I’m sure it will sort itself out over time and she will visit friends at other colleges, right now she wants to connect with home, funny, isn’t it? Maureen

Thu 9/16/2010 Good morning,
Another day gone and down the drain. That’s why we have to make the best of every day we have, otherwise you’re just wasting your life away. By being on your own away in school, studying, using your mind, meeting new people, trying different things (not drugs and alcohol, that just deceives you) you are living every day to the fullest. I try to do the same: at least one hour of math, an hour of writing, and an hour of reading every day, to keep the brain exercised. That’s the only way I can think of not wasting my life. I still do fun stuff, like, uh, write and read, haha, and walk your dog and staying in touch with friends, and eat and coffee and chocolate, and best of all, hearing from you.
You have to tell me more about Greek life when you come home. Dad rented “The Prince of Persia”, it was actually pretty good. He also got the Batman cartoon, maybe he’ll wait for you to come home to watch it with. Tiger is just his cute meowing self and Max is Max. Yesterday we covered the pool with the new cover and he ran all over it. Then we had wind gusts and it turned comical, something to send to “America’s Funniest Videos.” We were actually covered under the pool cover for a moment. When we finally had it on top of the pool, the wind picked up again and blew it up so it looked like a dome. We were so frustrated, but now it looks okay.
Anyway, no other news since yesterday,
See you tomorrow around five o’clock, Love always, Mom
