Hey, Sid,

It's Troy. Or I guess you know me as Mike. Because that's who I was last week. But uh, now I'm Troy and um, I was hoping maybe we could be friends anyway? I remember what happened with you and Mike, and you were really cool when he needed help.

If you don't want to, I understand. But I thought maybe...well anyway let me know.Troy

Is anybody taking any English classes at the community college this fall?

Hey. Listen, I know we're both probably freaked out by what happened at the ball, but can we talk about it? I'm still not totally sure what happened.

So what do you guys do when you're scared of something that you're pretty sure will never happen again?

Hey, everybody!

I've been really busy with schoolwork lately. I feel like I haven't talked to you guys in ages! How's everybody doing? What's new?

I was so sure of everything when I came here. School. Life. My path. Now everything's been moved and shaken, and nothing I thought would happen will. Everything's opened up again. But I'm not unhappy. And maybe not having a plan is better.

Plus, I met someone incredible who's on my mind now.

So I've decided I'm not going to UC Berkeley after all. Too much baggage, and I need to find my own way. So I'm staying here for a while. And I'm glad.
