I have a few minutes before my study group, so I thought I would send you a quick note to say hi. So, "HI!" It's so weird, Tare. I'm officially in my second year of college, but I'm considered a 2nd semester Junior. I'm used to people in my classes looking at me cross-eyed because I do well, but now they are looking at me funny because I'm in courses it took them 3 years to get into. I can't tell if it's jealousy or animosity. All I know is they don't seem very happy to see me in class with them. But, I'm not letting it bother me. The professors like me and I like them. I'm here for an education, not to be popular. Besides, since my new roommate and I are getting along so swimmingly, I'm not completely friendless. There are only two friends I care about keeping, anyway. Unfortunately, you're in England and Buffy's in California. But, not for too much longer...less than 3 years, Tara! Whoo and hoo! So how are things across the pond? I love the drawings you sent me. I designed and made a collage frame for them. I have it hanging right over my desk. That way, whenever I'm studying and I just need a quick break, I look up and see those lovely images. It makes me feel like you're there with me. I'm sure you can guess that I look up from my books quite often. Okay...I have to run. I've got 10 minutes to dash across campus. Write when you can. Please say hello to your family for me. I'm so glad your mom is well. Love ya to bits, Willow | ||||||||

Love you, Tare. W | ||||||||

How are things in Merry Old England? Tired of long walks along the Thames yet? If you ever run into Prince William, give him my phone number, would ya? Oh hell, you can give it to Harry too. (teehee) I've got a favor to ask, O Best Friend of My Best Friend. Remember that Art History 101 class I told you about? The one my advisor is making me take? Well, you were right -- I love it. (sigh) I hate it when I'm wrong. Anyway, I was wondering if you would look at my midterm paper for me? I'd normally bug Will, but you're the expert in this area. I really want to do well in this class so the professor will give me permission to take her senior level course. I really need to impress her. So, will ya? I have the first draft done, and it's not due for three weeks. So there's lots of time. All you have to do is say the word and I can attach it to an email in no time. (bats eye lashes) Please? Thanks, Tara! Take care. Gotta run. Buffy | ||||||||

Here's your paper. It's really quite good. Nice work. I've typed in some comments and suggestions for you -- I made the font green so you could see it more easily. I also added some sources at the end of the paper. If your library has them, they'll give you a couple of ideas that'll fit in your paper nicely. Don't get me wrong; the paper is really good as it is. Some of the arguments you made are fascinating! I was motivated to look some stuff up in my own texts and to discuss them with my advisor. She agrees with me -- she thinks you'd be a great Art Historian. (*wink*) Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. I'm always happy to help a friend. And I do consider you a friend, by the way. So, no, you don't need to send me a box of cookies and brownies. Just remember me when you're a famous advertiser and I'm still a lowly starving artist who needs some help getting noticed. We'll call it even. Take care, Buffy. Tara | ||||||||

So, at the end of this semester, I graduate with my undergraduate degree and in January, I'll be a graduate student. I'll complete the master's degree in one year. By the time of our date, I should be a full-fledged member of the work force. That means...dinner is on me! LOL Okay, I have to go call the folks to let them know. You're the first person I've told - I ran back to my room and sat down to type this as soon as Doc Harry gave me the news. I think Mom and Dad should be next. Then Buffy. Love and miss you, Tare. Say hi to the family for me. Write soon. W | ||||||||

My "magic" is going FedEx Overnight as I type. Let's hope I can pull the rabbit out of the hat. I love you, Buff. You ROCK! W | ||||||||

TARA IS COMING TO SEE ME THIS SUMMER! I'm hyperventilating, Buffy. Tara...here...with me...for TWO WEEKS! She used the money from her job at the Tate Gallery. She's flying in when neither of us have classes. Buffy, what am I going to wear?! Help me! I need to go lay down - I'm dizzy. I'll call you soon. Love, W | ||||||||
|
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
Please, Tara - forgive me. Love, Will | ||||||||
|
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
God, I'm sorry, Tare! You must hate me for what I did - you can't possibly hate me more than I hate myself. I was selfish and unfeeling. I know that. Honestly. I shouldn't have said ANYTHING. I should have waited until I calmed down before going off the deep end like that. Please, baby. Please talk to me. With all my heart, Will | ||||||||

Look, I'm Will's friend, and I know it's none of my business, but you're so important to her. Will didn't ask me to write to you; I decided to do this on my own...because I consider you a friend, too. I hate to see you two hurting like this. I know it may not seem like much, considering I'm on another continent and we never met in person, but if you need anything, all you have to do is let me know. Buffy | ||||||||

This has really shaken me to the core, Buffy. And I don't really know why. I have to figure this out. Willow said some things I never EVER expected her to say...EVER. The hurt is pretty deep. Again, I don't know why. It shouldn't have been that big of a deal. In the big universal sense, it's a small thing. And that is why I need time to figure stuff out. Thank you, again, Buffy. The only thing I would ask of you is that you keep me up to date on how Willow is doing...and that you take care of her for me. Tara | ||||||||

I love you, Tare. Yours Always, Willow | ||||||||
