Dear Mary,

Thankyou for your letter. All the work you
have had to do reminds me of whats going to happen
in the next 2 weeks. I have to write 3 papers
I haven't finished the reading. You had to write
25 pages? Yuck, on what?

How come you get so many boy friends? You
are lucky. Tell me about Doug? You know,
this is crummy the way we have a 2 to 3
week delay in ou[r?] letter communication.
I forget what I've sent by the time I
get your letters.

Why is it that you get boyfriends and I don't?
I'm not (believe me) being negative about you.
I'm just thinking what makes me so different.
It came up last night talking to Brian
whom I went hitch hiking with. He said
he thinks of me as one of the guys -- but at
times he would like to treat me like a girl,
but feels inhibited. He was real nice -- I kept
prodding hime to tell me what he was thinking.

Anyway, I am sort of depressed I guess.
I've been over everything about this many times.
I don't have any answers. I am the way I
am. I guess I am inhibited. Jeez, I don't
know. The letters from home have struck me
as not too cheery. I think I'm kind of lonely.

Oh you are sure right about Bruce Smyth. He
drivers me crazy also. I can always predict what he's
going to say -- always pessimistic & cynical.

Last weekend (this weekend) is incredible. Brian
and I were going to hitch-hike to Schwäbisch Hall
for the day (Fri) and meet people there. Only like
1 1/2 hrs. drive. We didn't see them, so Brian
suggested we continue hitch-hiking to Nürnberg.
Pretty long way. Anyway what happened was
we kept have these weird ideas to go
