Dear Buffy

I hope you get this letter soon. Giles told me he would get this to Andrew in Rome but who knows if it will get to you any time soon.

NYU is a big change from spending my days in Giles' library in Clevelandand an even bigger change from being in Sunnydale. The first two weeks were difficult, I didn't know anyone and my room mates all get along great, but they remind me of Harmony. Maybe a little smarted, because they did get into university. Last weekend I literally ran into my neighbour Kurt who I met while I was moving in. He invited me to go for coffee with him and one of his friends from High School. Her name was Rachel and she goes to NYADA; New York Academy for the Dramatic Arts. She's basically Cordelia with musical talent, she has the same understanding of tact as Cordelia did.

I think Kurt is gay, he hasn't said anything but I caught him discretely checking out guys on the streets when we went for coffee. I don't know how to let him know that I don't care, I think I'm going to tell him about Willow and Tara Kennedy later.

Classes are as hard as I expected, they'll probably get harder as we go along but all of my extra research with Giles and his prep have really helped me. Also I found the best pizza ever down the street from my building, they even have anchovies.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love
Dawn

Dawn,

I hope you’re settling in well. New York, I used to dream about getting out of Sunnydale and learning. I loved university. I always wanted to learn, I remember that in High school knowledge was frowned upon. I had to work to learn but on a university campus the energy. I remember telling your sister that I could feel my mind opening up and letting the penetrating force of the collective intelligence thrust into my mind and spurt knowledge. You’re probably looking at me the same way Buffy did and I will state for the record that, that sentence ended up somewhere completely different from where it started and from where I thought it was going.

Are you settling in well? How are your room-mates? I remember Buffy’s first room-mate was a demon who tried to suck out her soul. (It also turned her into a bitch) Mine was a total party girl; I lived at the library for the first two weeks before I moved in with Buffy.

Kennedy and I are travelling around South America looking for potentials; we've found a few in the last few weeks. We also found this really interesting tablet outside of El Altar in Ecuador. I sent it to Giles but here’s a rubbing of the tablet and I'll send you an e-mail with the pictures I took of the volcano and the area where we found the tablet.

I hope you are doing well, Kennedy and I will be back in the country for Christmas.

Love
Willow

Some of Willow's letter is paraphrased from "The Freshman"
