The
cost of living at USO.
Dear Mom and Dad,
School is going well and dorm life
in Camino/Founders is not as bad as
everyone said it would
be.
My
worries
about my roomie are settled, she's
great. Somehow, I'm surviving without
the TV and VCR, fully stocked refriger–
ator, bathtub, and cozy bed. But I do
miss the dog!
My domestic skills are improving
too. So far I haven't ruined any
clothes, pretty amazing. The RA's are
nice, but strict, sometimes it feels like
• a prison. Especially since there are
armed security guards on duty all night
and members of the opposite sex
must check in and be out by midnight.
Give me a break, this is worse than
home!!
The best part of living In these
dorms is having my friends so close.
We can visit one another any time all
night long. This helps on those nights
when I miss home. I miss you, but I
love USO. See you at Thanksgiving!
