No excuse I guess, except that I had to write my theme last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I really don&#8217;t feel very conversational tonight so I don&#8217;t know how much I can write to you. I found out my Chem. rank, 78. That&#8217;s pretty bad for me on such an easy test. I guess its a very low B but I don&#8217;t know. I just can&#8217;t seem to get to work since this semester started. I&#8217;m the same every year though so I&#8217;m getting used to it. I have never done as well in high school either in the last half of the year. I guess I&#8217;m just a one semester man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I just opened the window. It&#8217;s a beautiful night out. The sky is dark blue and the stars are very faint but sparkling and the big full moon is in the middle of them just like a big sunflower in a bed of white violets. (Spring fever is getting me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Should I start writing poetry connecting you with the beautiful heavens? I almost feel like it but I guess I&#8217;ll settle for the good old prosaic form of writing. No kidding though, I wish I was with you on these nice, warm, and beautiful nights. It&#8217;s the best time of the year for young love so they say, and I, for one, agree. Young or old it makes very little difference to me, it&#8217;s there just the same, and you&#8217;re in it, strange as it may seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I hope you&#8217;ll forgive me sweetheart but I&#8217;m going to stop now and see if I can get rid of my cold for good. It&#8217;s almost gone now and a good nights sleep ought to kill it until I go hitchhiking in the rain again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Goodnite dalring. I&#8217;ll see you Friday night if all goes well. I love you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Jim<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">P.S. X&#8217;s for junior, you too, in fact, more for you. C.O.D of course. No rain checks accepted. Pay as you go plan you know. Love, love, and more love, Jim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;No kidding though, I wish I was with you on these nice, warm, and beautiful nights.
