Well I am now on Spring Break. I only get one week because we had such a long winter break. And we still get out of school in July. So for most people Spring Break means going somewhere, drinking and heavy partying. Not for me. For me it means studying math and doing math assignments. I am basically stuck having to teach myself Algebra 2 since I am not understanding my math teacher and he doesnt like questions so thats no help. However it is nice to not have to get up early in the morning and stay up at night without having to worry about getting up in time the next morning to catch the school bus.
I sent you another letter last night Kelly. I hope you get it soon. In fact I hope to hear from you soon. By the way I am definetly going to EAC for my Freshman year. I'm not sure what I want to major in though so I dont think I'll be declaring a major my Freshman year. I may just do an Associates in General studies which takes care of all the prerequisite courses most schools require. If I get that it would be pretty easy to transfer to a University to finish a degree.
We've had some weird weather here recently. On March 10th we had the biggest sandstorm anyone who's lived here for years have seen. Theres videos all over youtube of it. Then for the past few weeks we've occasionally had rain. Then on Thursday and Friday we had rain on and off all day and pretty late at night. We even had lightining which knocked out the internet service for the past few days since we use a satelite service. Now its working fortunately and we have clear skys today instead of ones full of dust! And last night around midnight I went outside and I could actually see stars. I dont know how long its been since I could actually see stars here since the skies are usually full of dust. Luckily we had enough rain that it washed the dust out of the skies long enough for me to be able to look up at the stars. I enjoy doing that. I'm not interested in Astronomy per say but I do enjoy looking up at stars on late nights. Thats one thing I havent been able to do very often here.

it's interesting that you mention that because astronomy is actually something id like to get into. i went with w few of my friends way out into Tonto nat'l park last night to set off some bottle rockets and i noticed that i could actually see stars! it's impossible to do that in the city. it was really pretty. also, i'm hoping to send you a letter tomorrow. this past friday i checked the mailbox and got 2 of your letters at once--and one of them was dated the 27th, so that was fast!
I know what you mean. a few years ago the area around my house in az used to be pretty rural with cornfields, alfalfa fields, and dairys and at night you could see the stars pretty clearly. then a few years ago the farms and dairys got sold and turned into subdivisions so now its hard to see the stars there.
here its because the sky is usually full of dust since its the middle east. however last week after two days of rain the sky cleared up a bit and I could see a few stars so it was a nice change from brown colored skies. glad you got my letters. I hope I'll get your letter soon.
