Dear Dad,
Rushing has ended and the Fijis had the good luck to get almost all that they wanted which was quite good.
My trip up was plesent and uneventful, I'm glad I took the route that I did, that is, the cut over at Formosa and on up 101. There is only one really bad part which is about the last ten or twelve miles into Paso Robles, however, they are nearly completed with construction on a new road there and it will wipe out all of that narrow winding road into Paso Robles. I think that this will make that route the only way to travel north. The only other bad part was just before King City, but I had no trouble there.
I am going to live in the house this semester as I got the room that I wanted on the third deck away from the noise and confusion of the house, I am rooming with Terry Kelley, we have just finished fixing up the room and making it as condusive to studying as possible (placing of lights, desks, bood shelves and the like).
I went to see the dean yesterday as they had changed my schedule a little, however, being a senior I can more or less write my own ticket, which I did, and everything worked out fine. I got what I wanted when I wanted it. I will know more about the actual text of the courses next week and will write you again as to the general scope of them.

I have given a lot of thought to our last parting, it was not plesent thought, but rather embarrased, regretful and apologetic. I do not really recall what I said that started the whold thing, but I want you to know that I was not thinking or trying to say what you thought I was. I was at fault for not really picking my words before expressing my thoughts. I took twelve hours to drive up and Lin slept most of the time so I had a lot of time to think about my words and actions and to be thoroughly ashamed of myself for my conduct and words to you. I realize that I suffer on ocassion from an expanding head. This is something that I am making an attempt to eliminate from my personality and character. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for my actions and words, and to give you my promise that I will make all attempts to eliminate that characteristic from my personality.
I have already apologized to mother and I intend to do so again.
I stopped by to see Marcia on the way up but they were not home. I did not stop by to see Uncle Joe as I did not have his case of liquor and did not want to have to explain. I will close now and write you later when I know more about my courses.
You son, I hope still Kevin
