It&#8217;s awful!<\/p>\n<p>I met Melissa in my Spanish Conversation Table at Loras College, during the spring. She was so witty, it was so much fun to talk to her! I have some pictures of her and Minori (yeah, Minori went to my table too), and I confess I do miss her. I don&#8217;t know why I am so careless about never losing touch and all that stuff. I believe myself so busy when I&#8217;m actually wasting time. Wasting precious seconds that cost friendships.<\/p>\n<p>One of these days I&#8217;ll write Melissa the letter she must be waiting for. In fact, I should write all the letters I never wrote instead of staying behind the bars of this blog.
