Dear Emily,
Thanks for your e-mail. It's always great to hear from you. As for me, I'm really busy. College life is very exciting, but there's so much to do. I get up at 8 o'clock on weekdays because lectures start at 9:30. I spend most of my afternoons in the library as I'm taking six different courses this term and there's lots of reading to do! At the weekend I dosome part-time waitressing. So as you can see, I'm working very hard these days. But it's not all work and no play. Tonight I'm having dinner with some classmates. I can't wait!
I'd better finish here because Sarah, my flatmate, is calling me to come and help her. Come and visit me soon!
Ann
